Funny story about Terry Molloy! I was at Whofest 3 in Texas and i was walking by a booth and I was greeted by this very kind enthusiastic old man. He asked if i would like to buy a print of davros. I thought that i would also have to go elsewhere to get him to sign it. I was so oblivious! I made the remark, "In my opinion Terry Molloy is the BEST davros." And then a VERY familiar voice retorted, "You know I think you are probably right." Then it clicked. I was so excited! I talked to him for about 8 minutes about how much i loved his performances, and when it came tim to finally pay for the signed print, i was $3 short. And Terry Molloy said, "It's ok, i'll give you an exclusive fan discount!" Best interaction with a celebrity EVER. I still have that print. It reads "AH! JEREMY... EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR!!!"
That’s really cool. A few years ago I was at San Francisco comic con where Matt Smith was doing photo ops and autographs. Because I have a muscular disability I have a really hard time waiting in long lines. But when it was my turn to get the photo I got the photo said thank you and went on with my day. When I went to go pick up my print of the photo it didn’t show up properly. So I went back to the line where the photo ops were and got a second one. What I like about this story is they were wrapping up and Matt could have easily said no to a second shot as Bonnie Wright needed the space for her photo op. But he was totally accommodating and nice.
I'm gonna say it. I like the dalek trooper uniforms. If the eyestak on them is the dalek equivalent of a body cam, they make sense as an intermediate step between kaeld officer an dalek.
When I was ten I thought they were the most badass thing I'd ever seen, and I still think they hold up pretty well compared to some other Doctor Who villain attire - the black leather/gray fabric combo, the Vader-esque helmets, and the guns with the handguards that made them appear to be an extension of the person's arm. It's not hard to imagine how they could be given a streamlined 2019 makeover.
I know it’s for a commercial as a way of increasing sales, but could you just imagine the Time Lords literally just hiding a message for the Doctor in packages of Weetabix? Is it their way of relaying secret messages during the Time War like how in radio communications they would use code words so that the enemy couldn’t gain info? God I’m overthinking again.
I think the story gives a reason for why the troopers are there. Basically there aren't too many Daleks left because of the Movellan virus, so the Daleks have been forced to use clones to boost their numbers. As well as that, I guess the troopers can handle the Movellan virus safely, so the fact they've got a stockpile of the virus stored on Earth isn't really a plot hole, because the Daleks aren't actually on Earth, but have agents there. Presumably they were left there by the Movellans at somepoint and the Dalek clone duplicates are collecting these in order to destroy them all safely at a point before the Dalek invasion.
This Dalek story is both the product of 80s action and Seward writing. It has the same grittiness as the Caves of Androzani but just as good. The action, mortality and violence was both a symbol of the darkness that Doctor Who was becoming and the 5th Doctor at his finest. Terry Molly’s Davros is the highlight of the series. The most famous quote is... “I am Rather Difficult to Kill”. Are what legend is made from. Resurrection of the Daleks is a must watch!!!
I was 10 or 11 when I first saw this. My dad told me about a story where white Daleks fought grey Daleks and to me, that sounded like a lot of fun. For some reason we bought this story on DVD first and it traumatised me.
I should note a few things that firstly this time the voices of the Daleks are the late Royce Mills and Brian Miller who’s married to Elisabeth Sladen until her death in 2011, Second ‘And the most obvious one’ Second Terry Molloy is Darvos through the rest of the classic series and of course Big Finish Production, And thirdly this story was originally going to be the finale of the 20th season, But that didn’t happen until the 21st season happened, While I agree this is a mess story wise I still enjoyed it.
I didn't know Royce Mills had died, but you prompted me to check. He was a versatile and likeable supporting actor that I always liked, whether on stage, TV, the radio or inside a Dalek casing. RIP Royce Mills.
@@8158bolga Not a fan of the movie either, but to be clear in this case this joke is more about how people comment that the theme of the movie is failure than the quality of the film necessarily.
defrostedrobot77 I think my point was that one writer knew what he was doing and other had no idea what he was doing, because even though theme of the movie is failure it still has a happy ending, whereas as Resurrection ended with one companion being so tired of experiencing death and suffering on her travels with the Doctor that she leaves. Please tell me which one respects its audience and gives them the mature ending.
Unironically: yep. They're similar. But this one has more plot holes. I really like them both for partially that bold statement of that reason: go ahead, handle failure.
This was my favorite story as a kid, and I still love it, warts and all. The insane death toll didn't even stand out to me back then, but apparently it was noteworthy at the time for having a higher body count than the Terminator. On a somewhat related note, Eric Saward came up with the whole idea of a dude with a melting face staggering towards his friend moaning "help meeee" a full three years before RoboCop.
As much as I like this dalek story, I really wish the DVD had had a new FX feature. As this story badly needs a Day of the daleks like treatment. As the dalek trooper and Space Station crews guns just shoot by flashing lights with no laser beams coming out making them look more like their playing laser tag.. even as a kid I wondered how do those guns kill people if they just Flash a light? Also in some scenes instead of the negative filter used when a dalek shoots somone, theres just a fiant white glow.. I'm guessing it may have been due to the rushed production of season 21, and while there have been fan edits with new visuals I would like to see see the official remaster of this story.
I too would be hoping if they release a Blu-Ray collection for Season 21 they update at least some of the effects. That said, boring as the guns are visually, they're actually pretty realistic for how a genuine laser weapon would behave. (for instance: th-cam.com/video/q4Oknc8onG8/w-d-xo.html ) Unless the beam was on a visible light wavelength you wouldn't see it. Although you would expect a hole to appear in someone or for them to smoulder/burst into flames.

I used to have several ideas about Stein, and his confusing story. I think I've found a feasible explanation. When Lytton's men were duplicated, Stein was selected to be a further lure for the Doctor's capture. As well as his original memories, and his eventual conditioning, he was given false memories so as to create a backstory as one of the many captures prisoners. The Daleks were able to monitor the Doctor's progress through Stein, and they would guide Stein's actions through some form of subconscious suggestions, eventually leading him to travel in the TARDIS to the Dalek ship. As soon as he arrived, the Daleks deactivated his false memories and reactivated his Dalek conditioning, hence his striking change of character when he leaves the TARDIS. As for how the DALEKS could monitor Stein from inside the TARDIS and on Earth, I don't know, but it's just an idea I had.
This makes sense. Even in Nu-Who Dalek agensts don't know they're working for the Daleks until activated. Stein doesn't consciously know he was working for the Daleks until he reaches the ship. Before then I imagine the programming was just prodding him in the right direction here and there to gain the Doctor's trust. Stein was almost certainly also the unwitting reason the escaped prisoners were tracked by Lytton's mercenaries and gunned down. If the story is all based on a theme of failure, then Stein may actually be about the only figure in it who achieves a victory. He defeats his own Dalek conditioning, chooses the right side, and destroys the Dalek taskforce - taking no small amount of revenge for what they did to him.
In terms of elapsed time, Jamie (and Sarah Jane Smith) spent three years on the show, but Tegan stayed for four. In terms of episodes: Jamie (116), Sarah Jane (81), Barbara & Ian (78), Jo Grant (77), Tegan (65) NB: Classic Who only; I didn't count Lis Sladen's 4 episodes of Nu Who or Sarah Jane Adventures
@@ftumschk Tegan was only in it for 3 years...Logopolis was broadcast in March 81 and Resurrection of the Daleks was broadcast in Feb 84. Another way to look at it is 3 seasons bar 1 story. I had a proper crush on her growing up!! Haha
I'm looking forward to this one - if only to find out how depressing it really is. You make a strong case for it despite its apparent flaws, and it's interesting to see a generally nice Doctor get beaten down by the events unfolding around them; one wonders if 13 may suffer the same fate...
Eric Saward and JNT have gone on record to say that they disliked this episode for a variety of reasons. With Peter Davison leaving the series, they needed to come up with a Dalek episode for his final season, a season which had been marred by a lot of stuff behind the scenes. A snap election caused production to be rushed on Warriors of the Deep, the airing clashed with the Winter Olympics forcing it to adopt a different airing format of two double length episodes, and the original director intended for the episode, Peter Grimwade, was also dropped after falling out with JNT because of an incident over dinner, being replaced with a director that hadn't worked on Doctor Who before. Plus, Saward watched everything Dalek before writing the story, but found the whole ordeal of research to be painful, save for Genesis of the Daleks, and didn't go into the project with the best of intentions. It was clear that no one was having a good time here.
This a personal favourite of mine, more because of nostalgia, admittedly (I had part 2 on video for years from when it was broadcast in '84). However, I wish it had been 3 x 45 minute episodes to flesh-out the plots better - it deserved it as there was some great ideas in it. Everyone is scheming in it apart from the Doctor and his companions who I feel are almost just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, this is the story that scared the crap out of everyone in the BBC building when they blew up those doors on the station to reveal the daleks for the first time! :D
11:09. I mean at this point in the series the Daleks didn’t really go to Earth that often. There had only been two other Dalek stories where they attacked Earth (those being the Dalek invasion of Earth and Day of the Daleks)
I had the biggest crush on Teagan as a kid, largely because of the outfit in this story. And so this story will always have a place on my nostalgia shelf.
I'm constantly saying how much I would love to see Classic companions appear on Doctor Who again. And Tegan is right near the top of the list for me. Second only to Ace, and it's a close second. I would love to see how this experience with the Doctor changed her. What she's doing now, how she coped with the reason she left, and most importantly, how she would react if their paths crossed again. It could be a really compelling episode of New Who imo.
This is a really good story, it addresses the dalek decline, uses davros well, has lots going on, sets up future stories and has lots of death with high stakes.
One of the goryiest episodes high body count . Ohhhhh lyton! So is it good that so many plots involved? Maybe no kinda . Exterminate exterminate that's basically the whole story and also a very gory story and the doctor also who is actually quite a good actor Peter Davison is actually pretty good in this story and I like the idea of a Dalek agents of the Roboman and the Dalek invasion of Earth basically if I would to rate this episode I would rate it a 7/10 keep the really good episodes up and I'm waiting to see Revelation and and all that good stuff bye
Thanks for the review; I only remember the Doctor threatening to shoot Davros and Tegan leaving in this show. Not quite a show I own. Kind of got tired of Davros returning over and over starting about with this story. Regarding favorite (favourite) Doctors, he's not been my favorite Doctor, but your summary of his character was very good, and I have an appreciation of the fact that PD found a new approach to the Doctor. My memories of if his era, however, are of a Doctor constantly overwhelmed by the circumstances and unable to do much of anything: "failure" may be the theme of this show, but it's also my memory of Doctor #5, unfortunately.
I would have assumed that it would be Jaime since he had been a companion from the Second Doctor's second story until his last. Apparently Tegan had 19 TV stories.
Recently listened to the Audiobook on Audible, read by Molloy (With Dalek Voices by Briggs). I regretted it. They took one of my favourite Dalek stories & made it boring. * Before he even arrives on Earth in 1984, the Doctor knows the Daleks are involved, based on coding used in the Time Corridors controls. * Quite a lot of uninteresting exposition thrown in about minor characters. * Saward spent way too bloody long talking about all the fancy shit in the TARDIS. "There's a Private Cinema & a Restaurant with a Robot Chef- I DON'T F*CKING CARE! WE GET IT! THE TARDIS IS MASSIVE! SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO THE DALEKS!!!" … Ahem. Sorry. * Saward also kept bringing up the Terileptils for some reason. * The Supreme Dalek speaking like the Dalek Prime Minister. * The Grey Daleks having designations, like Alpha, Gamma, Delta & Epsilon. * Somehow, after leaving the TARDIS, Tegan gains metahuman abilities like dropping from London Bridge into a barge & not even getting a scratch.
I think it works just as well in four parts as it does in two. I will give it credit that the cliffhangers for the four-part version at least feel like cliffhangers. Unlike the syndicated American version of the next year where the episodes are split up and the credits just start to roll whether there is any dramatic tension built up or not.
I really like the story and it’s bleak tone, but I keep getting distracted by the weird lump on top of half of the dalek domes. What is that? Looks like a fault in the mould or something. It drives me crazy every time I see it, I want to climb through the screen with a handful of sandpaper 😂
There are parts of this story that make me cringe. The opening scene for example. Davros is great and I like the white domes on the Dalek Supreme. Tegan leaving is sad at the end too. I love your critiques, it is like getting an early Christmas present.
I think that's why I liked EARTHSHOCK better than this story there was way to plots to follow. EARTHSHOCK plot was straight forward and easy to follow. If you have to much of plot or plots it makes story to confusing
Fun fact. Even though you cant see it on screen, the Supreme Dalek had a unique design to its skirt section. The rear of it extended outward exactly how its front did.
I always thought of Resurrection of the Daleks as one of those middle-of-the-road (in terms of overall quality) Dalek stories alongside Planet of the Daleks and (sorry!) Asylum of the Daleks where it's flawed and either doesn't live up to its full potential or relies on contrivances, but I enjoy enough of the episode (the themes presented, the characters and their arcs, the atmosphere...) that I can't hate it. I think it's a good watch if you aren't in the mood for something amazing and don't want to subject yourself to something you hate. Also, Terry Molloy's Davros mask reminds me of Donald Trump's face, and that makes him all the more terrifying!
tegans had her aunt killed, a friend fall off a mast and literally change his face after thinking he was gonna die, she had another friend get blown up by the cybermen, got possessed by a snake, the events of resurrection, seen countless horrid looking creatures plus all the things in episodes i havent seen yet. she must have so much ptsd and gone through so much therapy. AND on top of that she had the guilt of bringing cybermen into units base by no fault of her own. poor tegan.
You should do a ranking the doctors video afterwards as hearing your thoughts on why 5 is the best are very interesting. I’d also love an update on your top 10 stories of all time.
I’m not so why they couldn’t bring Roy Skelton back to voice the Daleks for this story, But if I have to guess two possible ways is they haven’t thought about him, or that Roy Skelton was too busy doing Zippy and George’s voice on Rainbow for Thames Television at the time, At least in the next story Revolution they got him back again as well as the last Dalek story of the classic series Remembrance.
Bumblebee-127 First of all my bad for the incorrect word, And second as I said in my other comment, Both Daleks in this story are played by Brain Miller ‘Elisabeth Sladen’s husband’ and Royce Mills who sadly passed away 7 months ago, Royce Mills plays them again in Revelation and Remembrance which Brian Miller also returned to voice them.
@@SegaNintendoGuy64 Thanks! Didn't see your other comment. Yeah, they did a good job in Skelton's absence, but it was nice to have all three on board for Remembrance of the Daleks.
I would say, in doing this plans at the same time, it would cement their victory. To do just one would risk retaliation. The Daleks invade Earth (again), the Doctor will stop them. The Daleks rescue Davros, the Doctor will find out, and stop them. They kill the Doctor and the Gallifrey High Command, a new High Command will be elected and annihilate the Daleks.
i had this on vhs taped over something or other and i shoved it on as a young child and was scarred for life after the chemical weapons scene, seeing that guy begging for help while all deformed just to be shot by his own crewmate was terrifying. it made me think doctor who was terrifying and full of body horror. it doesnt help that my only 2 other vhs tapes of doctor who at the time were pyramids of mars with the creepy mummies and good ol donkey face himself as well as ark in space which is still my favourite doctor who episode
I might need to give this story another watch. I saw it years ago but barely remember it, and hearing Saward's comments that he reckons it's the worst DW story ever written put me off. But it doesn't look too bad.
Davros was right when he said to the dr you hesitate if I were you I would be dead and Davros is right in millions of ways the dr cannot bring himself to kill off Davros
I ALSO remember the sound effects had issues when the episodes were shown on American PBS back in the eighties 🧐 like NO SOUND EFFECTS when the Daleks exterminated people for example... REALLY HAPPENED I swear 🤞
The duplicates were faulty that or done to well that they took on the personality of the original and well revolted and well exterminated Resulting in the daleks recalibrating the machine by the time the doctor is captured
Hey, don't mind me asking but i vaguely remember an old video of yours which was a review on a book called War of the Daleks. What ever happened to that video?
Never seen this one before until today. Bought it off of Amazon amongst others to watch during the lockdown, personally it's one of my favourite 'of the Daleks' episodes due to how muchaction there is, I certainly prefer it to the rather more boring Day of the Daleks which I saw for the first time the other day. Remembrance of the Daleks is still my favourite though.
I don't agree about the Terry Molly Davros mask. It is terrible IMO, discolored and the mouth area is very poorly done compared to the original Davros in Genesis. The voice however is improved compared to Gooderson.
In “Destiny of the Daleks” Davros was on life support for like centuries possibly even thousands of years. He probably developed brain damage. Nothing like being frozen in stasis clears up the mind like in between “Destiny of the Daleks” and “Resurrection of the Daleks”.

I used to have several ideas about Stein, and his confusing story. I think I've found a feasible explanation.

Davros goes from Nyder to Dirty Den as his right hand man 😁
Fairly sure that Jamie was the longest running companion...
Yes, I was pretty sure Jamie was too.
It can depend based on number of stories/episodes/years.
In terms of elapsed time, Jamie (and Sarah Jane Smith) spent three years on the show, but Tegan stayed for four. In terms of episodes: Jamie (116), Sarah Jane (81), Barbara & Ian (78), Jo Grant (77), Tegan (65)
NB: Classic Who only; I didn't count Lis Sladen's 4 episodes of Nu Who or Sarah Jane Adventures
@@ftumschk Tegan was only in it for 3 years...Logopolis was broadcast in March 81 and Resurrection of the Daleks was broadcast in Feb 84. Another way to look at it is 3 seasons bar 1 story.
I had a proper crush on her growing up!! Haha
@@Diskono303 81, 82, 83, 84 = four years
Next Time: Revolution is on the dark side on the Daleks, And a summer holiday in 84 while off contact is worth writing.
I'm looking forward to this one - if only to find out how depressing it really is. You make a strong case for it despite its apparent flaws, and it's interesting to see a generally nice Doctor get beaten down by the events unfolding around them; one wonders if 13 may suffer the same fate...
This was the most terrifying Dalek episode for me, that mutation gas yikes!
It fits the Daleks that even in their weakest moment, they are simultaneously planning to destroy the Movellans, the Earthlings and the Time Lords.
Eric Saward and JNT have gone on record to say that they disliked this episode for a variety of reasons. With Peter Davison leaving the series, they needed to come up with a Dalek episode for his final season, a season which had been marred by a lot of stuff behind the scenes. A snap election caused production to be rushed on Warriors of the Deep, the airing clashed with the Winter Olympics forcing it to adopt a different airing format of two double length episodes, and the original director intended for the episode, Peter Grimwade, was also dropped after falling out with JNT because of an incident over dinner, being replaced with a director that hadn't worked on Doctor Who before. Plus, Saward watched everything Dalek before writing the story, but found the whole ordeal of research to be painful, save for Genesis of the Daleks, and didn't go into the project with the best of intentions. It was clear that no one was having a good time here.
This a personal favourite of mine, more because of nostalgia, admittedly (I had part 2 on video for years from when it was broadcast in '84). However, I wish it had been 3 x 45 minute episodes to flesh-out the plots better - it deserved it as there was some great ideas in it. Everyone is scheming in it apart from the Doctor and his companions who I feel are almost just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Also, this is the story that scared the crap out of everyone in the BBC building when they blew up those doors on the station to reveal the daleks for the first time! :D
this is my favourite of the 80s dalek stories and my second favourite dalek story. i’m glad that 5 is your favourite because he’s mine too
Resurrection is definitely one of my favourites. The brutality of it is exactly what I expect from the Daleks.
11:09. I mean at this point in the series the Daleks didn’t really go to Earth that often. There had only been two other Dalek stories where they attacked Earth (those being the Dalek invasion of Earth and Day of the Daleks)
I had the biggest crush on Teagan as a kid, largely because of the outfit in this story. And so this story will always have a place on my nostalgia shelf.
Yeah, leather skirt rules😅
Seek, locate,
Exterminate.
The Daleks shall sweep away
Gallifrey.
The Daleks do tend to rhyme.
It's how they manipulate time.
I'm constantly saying how much I would love to see Classic companions appear on Doctor Who again. And Tegan is right near the top of the list for me. Second only to Ace, and it's a close second. I would love to see how this experience with the Doctor changed her. What she's doing now, how she coped with the reason she left, and most importantly, how she would react if their paths crossed again. It could be a really compelling episode of New Who imo.
Well you got your wish
I think it is that the clones knew what the daleks were doing and ran away before getting gunned down
As for davros well spending a 100years being frozen in a block of ice tends to have an effect on ones memory
"90 years of mind numbing boredom."
@@eddherring3088 ehh who cares getting ice for a century while conscious fucked his memory
@@eddherring3088 that's horrific, equally to the death experience in the torchwood universe of there being nothing and you can see it all alone
I mean, in terms of Davros’ memory, he was in Deep Freeze for quite a while!
And he was conscious for that 90 years I think
I wouldn't say Teagan was the longest companion. Jamie appeared in all but one of Patrick Troughton's stories during the 2nd Doctor's original run.
This is a really good story, it addresses the dalek decline, uses davros well, has lots going on, sets up future stories and has lots of death with high stakes.
One of the goryiest episodes high body count . Ohhhhh lyton! So is it good that so many plots involved? Maybe no kinda . Exterminate exterminate that's basically the whole story and also a very gory story and the doctor also who is actually quite a good actor Peter Davison is actually pretty good in this story and I like the idea of a Dalek agents of the Roboman and the Dalek invasion of Earth basically if I would to rate this episode I would rate it a 7/10 keep the really good episodes up and I'm waiting to see Revelation and and all that good stuff bye
Not only could Tegan not take it anymore... I think a lot of others agreed.
Saward turned out to be a bit of a bitter one-note writer.
Thanks for the review; I only remember the Doctor threatening to shoot Davros and Tegan leaving in this show. Not quite a show I own. Kind of got tired of Davros returning over and over starting about with this story.
Regarding favorite (favourite) Doctors, he's not been my favorite Doctor, but your summary of his character was very good, and I have an appreciation of the fact that PD found a new approach to the Doctor. My memories of if his era, however, are of a Doctor constantly overwhelmed by the circumstances and unable to do much of anything: "failure" may be the theme of this show, but it's also my memory of Doctor #5, unfortunately.
Imagine Terry Molloy's voice coming from the NuWho Davros suit...
Tegan was the longest running companion?
That doesn’t sound right... did I mishear that?
I would have assumed that it would be Jaime since he had been a companion from the Second Doctor's second story until his last. Apparently Tegan had 19 TV stories.
Teagans leather skirt rules!
It's so badass!
A personal favorite companion costume
Do we know why the Movellans guns couldn’t shoot lasers? Was that too much at the time or something?
Great reviews mate. Since your a Cyberman fan, I think you should consider deeicating a month to reviewing Cybermen stories.
Just a suggestion. :)
Recently listened to the Audiobook on Audible, read by Molloy (With Dalek Voices by Briggs).
I regretted it. They took one of my favourite Dalek stories & made it boring.
* Before he even arrives on Earth in 1984, the Doctor knows the Daleks are involved, based on coding used in the Time Corridors controls.
* Quite a lot of uninteresting exposition thrown in about minor characters.
* Saward spent way too bloody long talking about all the fancy shit in the TARDIS.
"There's a Private Cinema & a Restaurant with a Robot Chef- I DON'T F*CKING CARE! WE GET IT! THE TARDIS IS MASSIVE! SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO THE DALEKS!!!"
… Ahem. Sorry.
* Saward also kept bringing up the Terileptils for some reason.
* The Supreme Dalek speaking like the Dalek Prime Minister.
* The Grey Daleks having designations, like Alpha, Gamma, Delta & Epsilon.
* Somehow, after leaving the TARDIS, Tegan gains metahuman abilities like dropping from London Bridge into a barge & not even getting a scratch.
Five was such a great Doctor.
"fuckin' prick"
I laughed out loud
I’m excited for revelation in like an hour or so and then rememberence tomorrow!
Ah Tegan and her leather skirt. Some childhood memories never fade. 😉
Leather rules 🤘
Same.
4:19 PERFECT 👌
You’re the dalek emperor.
Alex The mta and r179,r211 fan,weather fan DAMN RIGHT I AM.
The fifth Doctor episodes were very bleak.
I think it works just as well in four parts as it does in two. I will give it credit that the cliffhangers for the four-part version at least feel like cliffhangers. Unlike the syndicated American version of the next year where the episodes are split up and the credits just start to roll whether there is any dramatic tension built up or not.
I really like the story and it’s bleak tone, but I keep getting distracted by the weird lump on top of half of the dalek domes. What is that? Looks like a fault in the mould or something. It drives me crazy every time I see it, I want to climb through the screen with a handful of sandpaper 😂
I really have fond memories of this story, I think that all the Davros stories (except for Destiny) are great
This is one of the very best dalek stories.
There are parts of this story that make me cringe. The opening scene for example. Davros is great and I like the white domes on the Dalek Supreme. Tegan leaving is sad at the end too. I love your critiques, it is like getting an early Christmas present.
Maybe Stein was a method actor?
"The mask is a terrific prosthetic!" It makes Davros look like a granny!
I think that's why I liked EARTHSHOCK better than this story there was way to plots to follow. EARTHSHOCK plot was straight forward and easy to follow. If you have to much of plot or plots it makes story to confusing
Fun fact. Even though you cant see it on screen, the Supreme Dalek had a unique design to its skirt section. The rear of it extended outward exactly how its front did.
I always thought of Resurrection of the Daleks as one of those middle-of-the-road (in terms of overall quality) Dalek stories alongside Planet of the Daleks and (sorry!) Asylum of the Daleks where it's flawed and either doesn't live up to its full potential or relies on contrivances, but I enjoy enough of the episode (the themes presented, the characters and their arcs, the atmosphere...) that I can't hate it. I think it's a good watch if you aren't in the mood for something amazing and don't want to subject yourself to something you hate.
Also, Terry Molloy's Davros mask reminds me of Donald Trump's face, and that makes him all the more terrifying!
tegans had her aunt killed, a friend fall off a mast and literally change his face after thinking he was gonna die, she had another friend get blown up by the cybermen, got possessed by a snake, the events of resurrection, seen countless horrid looking creatures plus all the things in episodes i havent seen yet. she must have so much ptsd and gone through so much therapy. AND on top of that she had the guilt of bringing cybermen into units base by no fault of her own. poor tegan.
You should do a ranking the doctors video afterwards as hearing your thoughts on why 5 is the best are very interesting. I’d also love an update on your top 10 stories of all time.
How come the daleks were never built with resurrection abilities? oh davros XD
Resolution/revolution of the daleks says hold my beer
I’m not so why they couldn’t bring Roy Skelton back to voice the Daleks for this story, But if I have to guess two possible ways is they haven’t thought about him, or that Roy Skelton was too busy doing Zippy and George’s voice on Rainbow for Thames Television at the time, At least in the next story Revolution they got him back again as well as the last Dalek story of the classic series Remembrance.
Revelation*
Also, out of curiosity, who did the Dalek voices is Resurrection?
Bumblebee-127 First of all my bad for the incorrect word, And second as I said in my other comment, Both Daleks in this story are played by Brain Miller ‘Elisabeth Sladen’s husband’ and Royce Mills who sadly passed away 7 months ago, Royce Mills plays them again in Revelation and Remembrance which Brian Miller also returned to voice them.
@@DalekTheSupreme Brian Miller (Liz Sladen's husband) and Royce Mills - they both provided Dalek voices in the 80's stories.
@@SegaNintendoGuy64 Thanks! Didn't see your other comment.
Yeah, they did a good job in Skelton's absence, but it was nice to have all three on board for Remembrance of the Daleks.
Bumblebee-127 While Admittedly I still like Roy Skelton as the Daleks The others did great as well.
I would say, in doing this plans at the same time, it would cement their victory. To do just one would risk retaliation. The Daleks invade Earth (again), the Doctor will stop them. The Daleks rescue Davros, the Doctor will find out, and stop them. They kill the Doctor and the Gallifrey High Command, a new High Command will be elected and annihilate the Daleks.
i had this on vhs taped over something or other and i shoved it on as a young child and was scarred for life after the chemical weapons scene, seeing that guy begging for help while all deformed just to be shot by his own crewmate was terrifying. it made me think doctor who was terrifying and full of body horror. it doesnt help that my only 2 other vhs tapes of doctor who at the time were pyramids of mars with the creepy mummies and good ol donkey face himself as well as ark in space which is still my favourite doctor who episode
I might need to give this story another watch. I saw it years ago but barely remember it, and hearing Saward's comments that he reckons it's the worst DW story ever written put me off. But it doesn't look too bad.
Davros was right when he said to the dr you hesitate if I were you I would be dead and Davros is right in millions of ways the dr cannot bring himself to kill off Davros
Always kinda loved this story, even if it is as depressing as a 3 hour Radiohead marathon when you're off your meds.
Terry Molloy makes it.
I ALSO remember the sound effects had issues when the episodes were shown on American PBS back in the eighties 🧐 like NO SOUND EFFECTS when the Daleks exterminated people for example...
REALLY HAPPENED I swear 🤞
Here we go
Malloy finally!
Love your channel btw! Haha
Just watching this one AGAIN having just watched resurrection again! And I needed help decoding what I saw again!!! 😉😂
The duplicates were faulty that or done to well that they took on the personality of the original and well revolted and well exterminated
Resulting in the daleks recalibrating the machine by the time the doctor is captured
Do a cybercember. That is all about all cyberman stories.
The worst of the 80's Dalek stories, but still a fun watch.
You forgot the part where the doctor shoots a cat
Hey, don't mind me asking but i vaguely remember an old video of yours which was a review on a book called War of the Daleks. What ever happened to that video?
No, longer available. I believe it was on The Whovians channel or something.
@@defrostedrobot77 oh ok
Been trying to find it for years
@@zakjaggs9761 same, i think i seen it around 2012 ish and i was trying to find it ever since
The black Supreme Dalek in this story is awesome and also better than davros who is half dalek and halfman
My friend lent me this back in school as a means to introduce Dr Who to me. And I was like, God is it always this violent?
Correction on Stein’s true allegiance: Part 2
Never seen this one before until today. Bought it off of Amazon amongst others to watch during the lockdown, personally it's one of my favourite 'of the Daleks' episodes due to how muchaction there is, I certainly prefer it to the rather more boring Day of the Daleks which I saw for the first time the other day. Remembrance of the Daleks is still my favourite though.
1:17 that cyberman is thicccc
3:40-3:53 Oooh, so that's how to phrase my main issue with Frozen...
What?
I don't agree about the Terry Molly Davros mask. It is terrible IMO, discolored and the mouth area is very poorly done compared to the original Davros in Genesis. The voice however is improved compared to Gooderson.
So the theme of this story is one thing.. Death!
Isn’t Jamie the longest companion ?
In “Destiny of the Daleks” Davros was on life support for like centuries possibly even thousands of years. He probably developed brain damage. Nothing like being frozen in stasis clears up the mind like in between “Destiny of the Daleks” and “Resurrection of the Daleks”.
Probably after being frozen Davros had slight amnesia
5:44 doesn’t Resolution use the same idea?
I like Resurrection of the Daleks
