Is it for sale? 😁

Fantastic that he was as sharp as ever right up until his death! What an amazing gift of laughter he gave the world. Imagine if all of the laughter he created throughout his life was recorded and played back....grateful for all of the clips on you tube. Also grateful that he beat the booze and gave so much hope to those affected by that battle.

I wish this prop was still in its original 1960s condition and colors instead of this boring grey and black paint with an inferior eyeball.

This was excellent. I was aware that Mike had reconstructed the ex MOMI walk in Dalek but had no idea of it’s provenance. Are you aware of any discussion surrounding the restoration? Specifically if any of its previous incarnations were considered or was it always going back to its renegade livery given the presence of all the original parts. Bet most of its current weight must surely be in paint alone that’s accumulated over the decades. Great mini doc. Absolutely loved it, thanks for sharing 😊

the chase was in 1965 a year before the troughton era began

Oh, a new Barry Humphries video comes on to my home page which I hadn't seen, and in the spirit of Sir Les. Excellent, thanks..............

Lovely to see she continues.

Excellent video. One slight correction - The Chase was a William Hartnell era story. It was the story that saw the departure of Barbara and Ian.

This was such a neat glimpse into an iconic DW piece. Thank you for showing us!

Brilliant video, thanks for posting.

It was at Llangollen? I think I may have seen it, there was a half dalek when we went! I wonder what happened to the squashed dalek, looked like an early one too :)

Thank you for the tour of your pet Dalek!

I was there! Or, I will be there? I am there? Timey wimey

OH wow !!!! How glorious ! Thank you so much for making this and it’s absolutely fascinating to see inside!!! although I was one of those many people that visited MOMI And did indeed speak into the microphone inside the Dalek, of course never realise at the time that i was inside such an historic prop! so I was extremely relieved and happy to hear that the prop had been reunited and beautifully restored , and it’s very awesome to see inside it .

Thank you Chris, an absolutely fascinating video. More please 🙂

A W E S O M E !!!

Jon Pertwee lampooned his Dr who by playing a character in the Navy lark called.... The Master. He also lampooned the hydrofoil by have several blown up in the show lol.

A Thoroughly absorbing breakdown of an original 1960s Dalek - thanks so much for the time taken doing this for us curious people! The point that stood out for me was that this 1965 base/skirt section is partially fibreglass, I'd come to believe fibreglass wasn't commonly used at this time in prop-making, but I may be confusing it with vac-forming...? Either way, what's lovely about your examination of this original early Dalek is that it shows how construction methods have changed over the decades - the turret section you showed off looks at first glance modern fibreglass or maybe vac-formed, but once inside you see its true age and that it is solid hardboard! These wouldn't be made like this today. And when you think of the weight of these original materials I wonder what the _weight_ difference is between and original classic series Daleks like this one is, from the modern series' Bronze models... (It would be an interesting video to look at how the building methods and the materials used for Dalek construction evolved over the decades - from the original 1963 model, to the end of the 80s' and beyond into the modern series..) Lovely look at your classic Dalek, thanks so much!

Cool machine, I want one yesterday

Very interesting. Thank you. I loved it when they finally overcame the stairs problem by flying. Brilliant.

What are some examples of incidences of when The Dalek Operators can be seen.

So the museum has top mechanics that can rebuild a Hillman Imp engine. What took so long fellas? I've got a 16 year old son who could have rebuilt that in a weekend.

As a kid, I watched John Pertwee's Dr Who from behind the sofa because most of the storylines gave me nightmares!

Better looking than the average modern car.

I've seen the real Fools and Horses Reliant 3 wheeler, and the Outspan orange car, driving on the road but never the Whomobile.

Pete farris who built the whomobile was a drinking mate of mine in the 1970's clever bloke

It could have just been futuristic design, but I feel like the wings, especially the way they blend together at the rear, is suggestive of the capes that Pertwee would wear as the Doctor.

I notice how in the 60th Anniversary display Bessie, the 3rd Doctor's first car and the Whomobile are facing away from each other. Sort of like, 'We're NOT speaking to each other!!!!'

I remember this on Doctor Who in the 70’s. Jon Pertwee was my favourite Doctor. Also The Brigadier. Shame what has happened to the programme now though. Will never watch it again.

I'm familiar with mopar's slant six but this looks like a four set at about a 20° angle ! I think a horizontally opposed air cooled set up would have fit better in the space . (like a VW or Corvair power plant)

Quite a remarkable design.........the Aptera is a copy of this design.........it could do with a revamp of the interior to make it more futuristic.

Hillman imp engine isn't it didn't they rally Hillman imps. Is that why it has aerofoils to keep it on the ground.

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff :) Congratulations on all who have worked to save the old girl.

As a teenager, and Fan of Jon Pertwee's Doctor, I remember my father taking me to a garage showroom to view it, just before it appeared in its debut Dr Who episode. I remember in awe, the beautiful sparkly metallic paint finish on the wings which was silky smooth to the touch. I also remember its little TV monitor screen in the centre console.

absolutely gorgeous and I am sure it fly too lol.

Oh WOW! Is it still there!!!! Would love to see in person. Love Bessie but this is a work of art!

built by Pete Ferries from Nottingham, sadly he passed away a couple of years ago.

Had no idea this existed. Tom Baker was my first doctor. Would be great to convert it to electric power. The sound would be authentic and it would be future proofed too. They could easily recreate it in CGI form these days and what a promotional tool it would be.

This goes some way to answering some crucial fan questions, so thank you, Chris! All these years, and *nobody* has ever done this, until now. That said, I would love to see a short feature focusing on how the controls worked on the Daleks - the eyestalk with the working iris, the telescoping sucker arm and the gun. Seeing the painted-over eyeball (with that bloody "pupil"), the manipulator arm so rigid and the "firing" mechanism from the gun inactive are real let-downs, destroying a lot of the illusion that the Daleks were "alive".

I remember this! Thanks for posting!

Well done Chris, this was fascinating! Been watching and enjoying Who ever since Episode 1 in 1963, and have always loved the Daleks ;D

The minimal restoration is nice but why stop there? This is an iconic 1 of 1 vehicle that deserves nothing short of a complete every nut and bolt restoration. It is actually somewhat sad to see it in this condition when the potential is far greater than the vision of the current owner. Perhaps one day it will fall into the hands of someone who sees what is possible and does just that.

Lord Montague seems pretty Cool, taking care of old cars and all

Looks like a Hillman Imp engine. I wonder if it was based on a cut down Bond 875?

Doesn't Jon's son currently own the vehicle?
