Genesis of the Daleks

“Doctor Who and the Daleks”, “The Dave Ross Show”, “Diary of a Teenage Dalek”

“The One with the Differently Able Kaled-American” (USA), “Doktor Wer Und Der Communists” (Germany)

Doctor Who is asked to destroy the Daleks but doesn’t. He sort of tries but it’s quite half hearted. Davros on the other hand would ruin the Daleks for ever more.

*** - It’s been shown on telly more often than Kylie’s bottom.

“The pools panel has decided Thal vs Kaled is a score draw. Dividend forecast is good.”

"I know that although the Daleks will create havoc and destruction for millions of years. I know also, that out of their pants, must come something good"

This is one of two televised Dalek stories to be named after books of the Bible. Sadly, ‘St Paul’s Letters to the Daleks’ was deemed too similar to The Chase and never got past the initial outline.

Upon viewing the 1993 repeat, popular weather expert Sian Lloyd threatened legal action claiming that the giant clam was clearly based on the shape of her head. Like her earlier lawsuit against the makers of Rainbow, the case was dismissed with a chuckle by the court.

Demographic information shows that this story is most popular amongst postmen, nurses, children and the Welsh. By contrast it is not well liked amongst monks, secretaries of state for defence, PE teachers or people allergic to Terry Nation.

By accident, the master tape of part five was given away with a packet of cornflakes. The lucky cornflaker (Miles McAdam of Tumbridge Wells) was twenty minutes into it before he realised he was eating film stock. He sold the final four and a half minutes in 1991 for six pounds plus the cost of an unsuccessful stomach pumping.

For a man with his hand permanently below the waist, Davros has way too much pent up sexual frustration. Fact.

The British Nazi Club claimed this story was offensive to Nazis. They said it belittled and infringed their basic right to be Nazis. “All we do is get together and watch Nazi films and discuss Nazi fashions in an atmosphere of Nazi humour and Nazi fun” said Angus Hardy of the BNC, “and we don’t see why this inferior television programme should make us feel silly.” They received an ex gratia payment of two pounds which they used to buy a Nazi rug for their Nazi clubhouse.

...is not to send a man with a conscience to commit genocide.

"I’ve only once been kicked in the face by Raymond P Cusick and it was Story 4E which was at the route of the blow. I was conducting a fascinating technical interview with Cusick in which we discussed such matters as his preferred type of pencil for different types of design work, what height the Dalek casings would’ve been in his ideal world, what design modifications he would’ve made had he been responsible for constructing William Hartnell and what angle he generally keeps his drawing board at when working for a public services broadcaster. Having accumulated over forty five minutes of fascinating information I decided to add a “quirky” question to demonstrate my sense of humour. “If you were in “The Doctor’s” place in Story 4E, would you have destroyed the “Daleks” at their moment of creation thereby denying Terrance Nation a millionaire’s lifestyle while you have eked out a pitiful existence in penury or do you find that your meagre recognition is recompense enough for making another man rich off your hard work?” He considered the question for a moment and said that he would probably have destroyed them. “Don’t be pathetically stupid” I quipped, “your selfish actions would’ve undoubtedly lead to the demise of the series and have denied men like myself an extremely satisfying life. Get out of my house and I never want to see your bitter old man’s face again.” At this point he mentioned that it was his house and that either I stop trying to bundle him out of the parlour or he would kick me in the face. Having already given the end of the anecdote away at its commencement I can safely conclude matters here. "

Peter Loblock, writing in "Nyder's Niceties", successfully proved that the British spent more time during the twentieth century watching Genesis of the Daleks than they did fighting the Germans.
