Years later, it was revealed that a scientist, Davros,
had foreseen that his race would mutate into non humanoids, and require a
survival suit to live.
Davros developed the tank like machines and armed them,
also experimenting on genetic material to create a new creature from his own
race, one which would survive by destroying anything that was different from
them.
The Daleks have survived throughout each of the Doctors
reigns, and even had a few spin-offs of their own!
In the 1960’s, they had a colour comic strip in TV 21,
and a series of hardcover annuals have been in regular print ever since.
They were also one of the first mass merchandise items, becoming the ‘Must
Have’ toy for Christmas 1964 and ’65!
Many items were available, from friction drive toys to
bubble bath and soap!
Two full colour cinema films were produced in the
‘60’s, both adapted from the original TV scripts that were written by Dalek
creator Terry Nation. These films starred Hammer films stalwart Peter
Cushing as ‘Doctor Who’, as well as some impressive sets.
DALEK TV
STORIES
The following is a list of the Dalek stories that have
been shown on TV. The titles that I have used for the William Hartnell
stories are the ones used by the BBC and all reference books, etc.
The William Hartnell era episodes all had individual titles and so
some of the overall STORIES are sometimes referred to by the FIRST episode
title. Where this is the case, I have put this in brackets.
