I’m actually amazed in 11 series, the Daleks have only appeared briefly in christmas episodes instead of a whole story being about them.

The only time they’ve featured properly at Christmas is Matt’s last episode iirc

Rusty the Dalek was in the last one remember. It was pointless and made precisely zero sense but there we are.

It just seems mad that the amount of overuse the Daleks have had since the show came back and they’ve never been the main monster on a Christmas episode

You'll have to forgive me if I'm wrong, but there was somewhat a story with them in Series 1, am I correct? (Even then not much so)

The series 1 Christmas special was David Tennant’s first story which had the Sycorax in so no don’t be so stupid

I meant when they were actually a useful part of the story and not a push in for the sake of it.

Well they made no sense being part of that Matt Smith episode either so I guess the point still stands

Oh mess I thought you meant series as a whole :joker:

a rileyh moment?

(I know you're reading sorry babes!)

Yes they ****ing did Robert!

I do love Daleks I’m a bit upset they won’t feature

That Dalek episode in series 1 featuring Big Brother in the future and a robot Anne Robinson :love: :flutter:

That was their last decent story. The rest have been sub standard

I had no idea what was going on in Asylum of the Daleks and the scenes of Oswin being converted are etched into my memory

I liked the one where they went inside the Dalek tbh

Are you forgetting Journey's End sis? It was iconic!

UGH that episode was a fat mess.

Omg Journeys End :love: ok that one was good m

Everyone piloting the Tardis :love:
Also Davros reuniting with the Doctor :flutter: Sarah Jane's horror when she realises the voice she hears is Davros :love:




okay good because I always just felt really dense watching it :bawling:

Which is worse girls? Daleks in Manhattan or Asylum of the Daleks?

I kinda liked Daleks in Manhattan

Same! The Human Dalek hybrid was a mess though :skull:

oh wow guess I'm alone with that one!

If it didn’t look like someone literally had a Dalek mask on it would have been great. The story was a concept, it just failed on the delivery

Has anyone bothered with the classic series?

I remember I watched season 12 but I just couldn't stay interested (not because of the stories or effects, they're charming!! It's just because like, there's a few parts to a story and they're all like 20 mins each I DONThave the effort for that!

I tried to watch Genesis but couldn’t get through it

I liked that one, it's been years since I watched it but I don't think it deserves all the praise it gets. I dont doubt there's better Dalek stories

Me too.

Oh snap, if we're talking about Dalek stories, I'm your girl.

Stolen Earth/Journey's End is probably my favourite Dalek story but then I absolutley adored The Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar episodes too. To be honest, Davros is my absolute favourite villian so I guess that's why. The Daleks on their own...eh...I guess maybe Dalek?
Oh, actually, I quite like Victory. I know most people slate it but I actually really liked it and it was definitley Mark Gattis' best episode.

Out of the classic ones, the best one is probably Rememberance of the Daleks which was the seventh Doctor. Genesis is quite good too.

I do also really like Revelation of the Daleks because it's a ****ing creepy story but again it's more Davros than the Daleks.

So where's the notable mentions for Day of the Daleks and Death to the Daleks?

I'm literally a superfan for the classic series.

Jodie Whittaker is the first Yorkshire doctor. Proud to have the first woman and first Yorkshire actor in the role!

The Daleks are just thrown around whenever and they're wasted. They need a genuine break and to come back with a fresh story and an updated look in a couple of years.

She was the worst companion imo.

Does anyone wonder on why they have put all of the companions at the same time. Seems very fishy...

Or is one of them the primary companion and the other two are tag alongs?

I think Brandon might be revealed to be a villain of some sort at some point.

(who is Brandon)

I think he means Bradley Walsh maybe? :laugh:

That's not a picture of Martha.
