If I had a nickel for every time there was a "last Dalek"...
I would have about 3 nickels, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened thrice
@@crayzkato6607 read that in doctor doofenshmirtz lol
@@Kristof-cl4df Plot twist: That's the doctor's real name
@@RussetVibes TIME-SPACE-INATOR
@Russet Vibes The Doctor's greatest secret 😂
I don’t think people realise just how rich in lore the doctor Who universe is. I love videos like this with really obscure lore
It is rich in lore and it would be pretty awesome, except for the fact that the execution is so terrible. So many ridiculous plots to destroy the universe, with basically no grasp on the sheer size of the universe or just the basic fact that the daleks are barely equipped to travel across a moderately tidy living room, much less deadly dangerous supervillains.
I mean the first iteration is literally rendered totally useless unless they remain connected to the power source in the floors...
Absolute garbage. Made garbage by the writers.
The first rule of fiction is a suspension of disbelief. The daleks can be defeated by moving around at a speed faster than a slow ambling shuffle. I've seen 3 year olds that are more terrifying and dangerous.
@@eschelar and that is kinda the charm of the show. These ridiculous monsters which in real life would barely be a proper threat. Now i imagine a city having a primary defense of stairs around the perimeter and different parts of the city so the daleks can't invade, or if they do they would get stuck
@@eschelar you could also safely touch the Dalek casings at that point. By the time of "Dalek" in the 9th Doctor, the casing could be deadly to the touch, could absorb genetic material, and the Daleks had developed levitation and flight.
It's almost as though technology replaced evolution for the Daleks.
I dont think people care European TV is just terrible
It's silly honestly, like too overpowered
Just wish we seen more of the Paradigm Daleks considering they each had their own specialist abilities from Drone, Strategist, Scientist, Eternal and the Supreme, they could've had their own individual episodes showing what their abilities were capable of!
Yeah! Take one down, and that's a proper victory. But when they all come together, they can only win.
I've half-written some scripts about the Eternal. Very enigmatic name, allows me to use it to cover up some inconsistencies with the Daleks.
@@nightowl8477 To be honest mate I've had my own thoughts of the Paradigm Daleks which would go like this.
At the end of Victory of the Daleks all 5 of the Paradigm shoot into different parts of the universe to rebuild the fear. Here is the breif of which Daleks would be encountered by the Doctor first and their motive for being in the episode.
Drone: First up the Drone dalek is pursuing a military planet to take the strongest warriors to obey the Dalek empire, once they are of no use they will be exterminated.
Scientist: The Scientists transported itself to a high weapons advanced planet where it is experimenting on designing a weapon that disables a timelords regeneration in a single beam.
Strategiest: This one is a challenge to defeat as it is constantly twisting the Doctor's plans to destroy it, constantly letting the Doctor believe he has the upper hand but in second subverts his expectations.
Eternal: The Eternal is beyond destruction, it is designing an ability for Daleks to regenerate or even have armor stronger than any in the universe the only way to neutralise this Dalek is to leave it externally in pain.
Supreme: Finally the supreme has been observing his team the whole time using emergency Temporal shift the Strategist, Drone and Scientists are back at the end of the episodes (2 parter) A Doctor Falls into a glow where change approaches...
Really long hope you like the concept!
Kieran that’s an awesome concept and those would be amazing episodes
What did the eternal even do
How i hate these nausea-causing levels of Plot Holes and Nonsense.
There is literally no 'normal' series of events how this Fix Point can/should happen.
There is literaly no reason why the Doctor should let him self get shoot by the Astronaut.
Also, putting much effort into creating survival-expert River Song and then putting her into an Astronaut Suit that negates all her abilitys is
laughable and nonsensical. Stupid Silence.
I like this Fix-Point Buisness, but it's virtually impossible to execute it worse than here. Wow, impressively bad writing.
The Doctor has no reason to die but he for no reason wants to die. It's nonsensical.
And the Silence is just incompetent as heck anyways. Well, everyone is.
One tiny thing, the daleks got their knowledge of the doctor back after they stripped the information from the brains of people they killed in the papal mainframe.
I love how the doctor is technically present in several moments in time simultaneously and teamed up with himself to stop people
My favorite theory is that there is two timelines we see in Doctor Who. Before Genesis Davros died during the creation of the Daleks. The Daleks grow to be a strong force under their Emperor. They conquer Earth, they invade other planets. They become a force that could conquer the universe. One strong force under one leader. The Time Lords afraid of this send the 4th Doctor back to make changes in Genesis. He refuses to commit genocide so tries other changes. With the knowledge gained Davros survives and perhaps left a little bit in their programming that they need him. So they come back to get him when they lose.
That is why after Genesis we see the Daleks weaker and a lot more infighting about their goals.
The change from Genesis that changed the timeline is Davros surviving. He is actually the worst thing for them.
Impossible because pre Genesis Daleks are seen in the asylum
@@iCainiac you miss what I am saying. Of course the pre-geness look exists. It was the attitude. Before Genesis timeline they never needed Davros. After they did. So of course they can exist after. It is the timeline that changed
@@robert_bbiiigenesis they kill him anyway. Davros wants to create a being that will dominate a being that will dominate the universe he would listen to the doctors points of creating a being with feeling and an ability to be good
Long story short, Davros in attempting to create something that would end a planetary war with his species as the dominant race on said planet, he created the race of hate-filled death machines that pose an existential threat to the universe about once a week.
All according to his plans too.
Weird how Daleks canonically fought Count Dracula and used a toy police box/TARDIS for target practice.
Also I'm surprised you didn't mention Dalek Empire... which shows them as competent due to the absence of the Doctor.
I’m currently listening to Dalek Empire right now. It’s so good and honestly makes the Daleks scary with their tactics of building a huge empire that spans years
Where can I listen to Dalek empire?
@@ivolucano2455 the first two are on Spotify.
@@Jedi_Spartan thank you very much
Apologies for my miss pronunciation of the Movellans 😂. I miss spelt them mistaking an L for an I when writing my script not realising my mistake until after if recorded the entire audio, plus I haven't watched Destiny in YEARS so it slipped my mind... 😂 oops
The Who Addicts Never noticed. Must be all those Ls. 😊
Lol you did it with the Exillons too but its a great video regardless.
It sounds even better!
"their plans to release a deadly virus on earth" huh, they kinda succeeded in this timeline
Correct! The Dalek race is Supreme!
@Catgirl Shizumi Seems legit
@Yuki the Neko Sure thing
Oh please 🙄
Yeah one word in there SHOULDNT be there: DEADLY yes people die from it but it's actually pretty tame compared to other viruses
“Daleks are the most evil wicked and merciless creatures”
Me: heh heh square R2D2
Tall Roombas :P
I love how even though the villains of Dr Who are pretty basic on the outside they are actually really deep with history and lore.
I havent watched a single dr who episode but have seen shorts and am pretty interested.
Do yall have a recommended season to start on? Or is it best to start on the first season?
I enjoy movies from the 70s, so if early seasons are needed to watch, i can. Thank you!
@ajay.gillig I think any season will work as they explain the villains each new season. I've only seen a few episodes from the 9th, 10th and 11th doctor so I'm not entirely sure but never hurts to start from the beginning if possible
Am I the only one who kinda really digs the 1950's esque comic book style and thinks it looks really well for the daleks?
All most 1930s like flash very cool n retro good eye!
Mate, you've put so much effort into this vid, can't imagine how much research that must have taken! Brilliant. Thanks!
Hi, this is really good, the best history of the Daleks I have seen in recent years. Subscribed.
It would be even better if he got the names of the people and places correct for example movellans not movellans and excilions not excilions I really hate it when people think they know more than anyone else and then get it wrong
@@martinkirby3100 bit pedantic mate, a lot of work went into this.
@@martinkirby3100 ?!?!?
Mate, you just said he movellans not movellans, despute you spelling them the same way. Same with excilions
@@martinkirby3100 bruh you just contradicted yourself so much
The Doctor: "how many times do I have to teach ya'll this lesson?"
Daleks: "yes."
Daleks some time later: "let us reintroduce ourselves for the 80th time."
Did you know the very first Dalek mutant Davros created was a captured Thal soldier.
Tell us more!
@@lamaahruloma4270 it’s in the ending of the I, Davros series. You can listen to free on Spotify.
@@crimsondynamo615 Oh, thank you very much!
I just realised, The magicians apprentice acts as a sort of continuity fixer. The casings Are all out of sequence however. That’s okay now though as we have seen casings are not an indicator of chronology but just variation. Hence why genesis daleks are before ‘63 daleks and why there’s a lot of 60s daleks in 5-8th doctor big finish.
The s9 opener basically says all designs are still in use which sorts the messy timeline
It's amazing how trashcans on wheels with sink plungers for hands can be so badass is still leaving me scratching my head. Wonder if R2D2 is jealous of their accomplishments.
In summary:
The Daleks survived, because of course they did.
It sounds like the Doctor is actually partly responsible for the aggression and competence of the Daleks. Like he gave the the motivation they needed to keep evolving. Holy shit.
Yes. There is even an episode where one of them yields to the Doctor (might have been Capaldi's) with the words "You would have been a good Dalek." High praise for a race that considers pretty much everyone else inferior!
@@ditmarvanbelle1061 in the 11th doctor episode “asylum of the daleks” a dalek converted human says “they grow stronger in fear of [the doctor]”
Done Daleks, how about Cybermen next
My favourites!
Mario Bowser494 or angels
Jamie Thomas the angels are very mysterious though. We know practically nothing about them so I don’t think a history of... vid would get up off its feet
Please make a video about the Cybermen next. Then the weeping angels
Fun fact: Growing up in Dublin me and all my mates used to call them Darleks, because we never saw the word written down and thought that was what was being said in an English accent. Imagine John Pertwee saying "it's the daleks darling". It would have sounded the same to us.
*List of questions that I want answered*
What do Daleks do in their free time?
Do they have holidays?
How old can a Dalek be?
Does Devros ever act like a grouchy old grandad?
What's it like for a Dalek to have one eye?
Do Daleks ever take baths?
How do Daleks take care of Devros?
What's life after death for a Dalek?
Do Daleks ever have an itch and they can't scratch it because they're in a trash can?
Daleks don't die,they become living goo over time and become à part of the sewers.
@@monkeywrench1290🛠️ why
Seek, find & Exterminate
Their holidays would probaly be based on their victories against other races
They are immortal
Probaly not
Just one eye, can't see much from the sides
They don't have the need for one
They don't, unless davros wants
Nobody Knows
They can rub their eyes with their tentacles
Thank goodness you're back! Congratulations for 20K subscribers. You totally deserve it.
Now 30k subs.
Davros’ story is so cool and dark. I really hope someday they make a movie out of it, or his own spin off.
I first encountered Doctor Who not from TV but from a book a friend of mine had regarding the Dalek's and their technology. The drawings were fantastic! His parents were British so they'd bought him some Doctor Who material. I later found out it was a TV show broadcast on PBS and I was hooked.
oh god the Daleks in that first frame trigger me with the missing "sucker" and duel guns lmfao
great video though 👍 the Doctor Who universe is genuinely so rich in underrated lore, even for individual species or characters
Great video!
When it comes to redesign Daleks, while the real world reason they were dropped was mainly due to fans not reacting well to the new designs, we never got an reason in the show for their disapperance. However, there is techinically a explanation for it in a unlikely place. According to a article from the Radio Times, at the Doctor Who Experience there was a Dalek ship you would enter, in which there was a exchange between the resdsign Daleks and a army bronze/classic Daleks who belong to Davros. The two sides were fighting over who are the true pure Daleks and given the fact we've not seen the redesigns for a long time now, it's clear that Darvos's army won and became the dominate faction. So once again splintering Dalek factions had led to another civil war, just a shame we didn't get to see it on screen as it would have been great to have a fall scale Dalek civil war with current effects.
A-Level Work, Who Addicts new video... I think I know what I’m going for.
Wow! I just got my first Dalek figure, which is kind of pathetic as I’ve been a fan for over 30 years. What can I say? I was never a figure collector, before. I’m simply in love with this Dalek, so this is very aptly timed. I was chuckling several times during this video. Was it 150 Thousandth time, lol? Anyway, great job! Loved it!
I think you are my new favourite channel, this is so good
Daleksexteminatedemotrats
Love that you do these “story of”s! Keep doing them!
Congratulations on 20,000 subscribers! That's enough supporters to run for PM! Though I'm not sure I'd agree with all of Liv's policies, given her views on Capaldi's run ;)
Wowzers! Definitely my favourite video in this series, well done!
My own head canon is that there are three species of Daleks. First, there are those that mutated from Mutos and rebuilt the Kaled city, which were the silver Daleks we saw in the 60s, and were eventually defeated during "Evil of the Daleks". Then there are the Daleks genetically engineered by Davros, that were trapped within the underground bunker beneath the Kaled City, and were the grey Daleks seen during the 70s and 80s. FInally, there are the converted Daleks, which began being produced by Davros on Necros, which eventually evolved into the Imperial Faction, lead by the Emperor Davros.
During the Time War, remnants of all three factions wound up being forced to work together. In particular, following the Time War, the new Dalek Emperor attempted to rebuild the Dalek Empire using the conversion process created by Davros.
I think that they should've done more with those human/Dalek/Time-Lord hybrids: killing them off was a waste.
Black Phoenix nobody really liked them though
@@travishood1278 irrelevant
@@travishood1278 nobody cares Good riddance to that psychopath.
@@sorrenblitz805 it is a bot
Please tell me I missed it and you actually DID mention what is possibly the greatest nuwho novel if not the best DW novel ever; "Prisoner of the Daleks"?! The Tenth Doctor is taken prisoner, as this book takes us on an unsettling and very adult journey through labor camps, child abuse, human rights not to mention the vicious torture of the Doctor just because the head Dalek (Dalek X) feels like doing so. Not a children's book; this is the first story that makes the Daleks look as terrifying as they were always meant to be.
Its a part I had to cut to get the video length down unfortunately but I loved reading about it in my research, I did refer to it in my story of the timewar however
You just have to remember they were the Kaled’s changed by Davros into the “brains” of his machines. He simple broke down the people into funky squid like aliens, the aim being to make them an unstoppable army to end the war with the Thales
Kaled Dalek, easy really.
Congrats on 20 Thousand subscribers!!!
Thank you from a old doctor who fan "Giving away my age" John pertwee was my favourite as a teenager, thanks.
Well done of getting 20k. A fine achievement.
Your placement of The Juggernauts was perfect for me 👍 always struggled with that one considering it’s always seemed that is when Davros escaped his trial, even though the same happened in The Davros Mission and another comic.
You know, I always imagined the Daleks as a genocidal species in a state of constant war.
But they sue for peace, make use of slave labor, and 22:14 feels like legal extradition.
They have a lot of trials for what I'd assume would be an ultra-authoritarian government,
I'd assumed the Daleks declared the time war as soon as they had the technology to rival the Time lords, but 25:11 makes it seem like a defensive war.
Fun Drinking Game:
Take a shot every time he says Dalek
Nice video :) I wasn’t aware of their complete history, and there were a few movies staring Peter Cushing that retold the events of some of the stories from the show, just slightly different.
As for weather they’ll survive the xmas special, well, apparently, the guy who created the daleks for the bbc implemented a legal stipulation that they always had to be used through out the DW series: Meaning if they (the BBC) wanted to use them at all, they had to keep using them, or they’d lose the rights to do so.
that would be Terry Nation
So we can never get rid of them
Bro, legit props to you for reading all this stuff
Love 💕 this Matthew, I always loved❤️Davros and the Daleks as villains.
Impressively comprehensive, well done!
Is anyone who can remember it all, elligible for a PhD in Dalek History?
I wish I could watch The Daleks Master Plan and The Evil of the Daleks
Stairs, curbs, high grass, uneven terrain, rock's 🪨 and pebbles are just a few of the Daleks weaknesses!
They can fly! They also have spaceships and tanks (I think?) and lots of weapons to blow up anything that is above them (meaning up a single stair, or standing on a rock, hahaha).
But yeah, stairs are great ways to defend against Daleks, as I don't think they've always been able to fly, or at least fly without their platform things.
EMP:
I thought it was just the one Dalek in The Big Bang. Interesting it's two.
YOU’RE BACK! AND WITH 20K SUBSCRIBERS! EVERYONE SERENADE THEM! #WHOADDICTSSAVED
Davros seems a bit like Darth Vader,"more machine than man.... twisted and evil".
Absolutely brilliant marah ;) Being of the generation that sat down to watch the very first episode way back in 63, and being a TV21 fan back in the day, you brought back all of that background Dalek stories that I'd some how forgotten. Thanks so much for your presentation, and all delivered with a slight hint of Geordie. Brilliant!
I love how I found out you were Canadian just by seeing what kind of Smarties you chose
After watching this video, I've got questions about the Asylum of the Daleks. Mainly, if there was a Dalek Prime Minister, was he voted in? Did he seize control? And... where is the parliament of the Daleks now? There looked like there were thousands of Daleks there. They can't all have been destroyed in the Time of the Doctor because they couldn't all fit in one saucer. And in series 9, there looked like there were only a hundred or so Daleks on Skaro.
The parliament might be done in a mocking way perhaps, these are mecha alien fascists after all so a parliament would seem very odd. The real answer is moffats writing inconsistencies and shortcuts to 'cut to the chase' so to speak. I liked that the Russel T Davis era had a (mostly) continuous dalek plot running with the cult of skaro. It meant that you knew the threat level, or even better thought you knew the threat level only for it to be revealed as wayyyyy higher. Recent stories kinda just throw the daleks out with no connecting fibre.
Well done again on reach 20k subscribers! :D
31:08 To be fair, there probably weren't any Daleks left *inside* this universe. They were in the Void.
I love that when the daleks are talking in the comics their dialogue is all caps!
Fun Fact: Rusty was in the intensive care section of the Dalek Asylum.
37:28 This is the most diplomatic way to explain this Davis Ex Machina I've ever heard. I applaud you for this. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Any one else notice his voice changes to that of an oldschool dalek at 31:41? When he says "Dalek Just" it sounds just like how a dalek would say it.
I think someone is secretly a dalek
Oh no, my smarties are planning world domimation! I've got to eat them, QUICK!
Well done mate & thanks for your time & effort to bring this to the Dr Who Fans👍🍺🇦🇺
Take a shot everytime the Darlak's are Defeated for the last time
Well we’re going to die from alcohol poisoning
I used to be scared of them as a kid but after I saw one get pushed out of a window I just started calling them the "garlics" and laughing at them whenever they came on screen
The daleks deserve their own show without the doctor, just like Terry Nation wanted in the first place. Not that i dislike the doctor obviously
😍
Big Finish did that, although a show would be great.
And now we get the Restoration Empire with the new emperor, the strategist, execution unit and so on, which I love.
This is great, fascinating to see how it all comes together across time. A couple of little corrections - Exxilons not Exxilions and Movellans not Movellians. But otherwise, ace!
Who is excited for the Revolution Of The Daleks New year special?
The episode where 12 has to choose to save Davros is so good!
Also, Power of the Daleks w/ the 2nd Doctor is the greatest Doctor Who story ever told
Love the video, just brilliant, maybe being daft though but i seem to have missed the 6th Doctors Revolation of the Daleks with Davros being The Great Healer. Or did i just miss this?
Wait wait, you lost me on 00:01
Great summery of their timeline 😀
I don't think the silurians were on trenzalore, their space travel wouldn't be that advanced
Senan Collins , then why do we see a Silurian ark floating above trenzolore also the Silurians are a very advanced race in technology they developed space travel long before humans , they are really intelligent, also I think these are the Silurians we see after the events of the hungry earth/cold blood 🩸 coz tbh it makes sense when you think about it xx
The amount of research for this is impressive. Most impressive.
At 48:13, I think the reason the Daleks had restored their memories of the Doctor was because they extracted knowledge of him from Tasha Lem after turning her into a Dalek Puppet, during their takeover of the Papal Mainframe in the Siege of Trenzalore
A complete history of doctor who that isn’t 6 hours long?!? Wow!
So detailed :) Well done Matthew
I always hoped the child like Dalak’s Alpha, Beta and Omega would have made a difference.
Could you do a history of the Krintillains if there is any?
The reason that the Daleks regained their memories of the Doctor was from when they made Tasha Lem into a Dalek Puppet in The Time of the Doctor.
Awesome video man, enjoying bingeing these, love them. However, you said that the Daleks magically got their memories of The Doctor back, but in Time of the Doctor they say they have their memories of him again from Tasha Lem. Stands to reason that info would have been spread to all Daleks
Excellent video, very very detailed explanation into the lore of The Doctor who universe.
I don’t think many people realise just how large the Doctor who universe is, and how well flushed out it is either, so thank you for going into detail on it. Especially since that’s a lot of effort on your part.
If I had any nitpicks it’s that you mispronounced a few of the planet/species names and got a few details wrong. However, I’m nitpicking as Ik it takes a lot of effort to make a video like this.
Well done 👏🏻. Xx
This was an absolutely amazing video that had some of the most in-depth research on the matter I've ever seen. That said, I feel like there are a few other developments that were important enough to be mentioned:
The establishment of a new dalek emperor on Skaro (game: City of the Daleks)
And
The assorted "Dalek Wars" which were discussed in the Battles in Time magazines
Aww! Key! You really are a clever boy! 😀
That was a really good performance on the piano!😀
Also a great way to get treats!!😂
And Jodie my dear! I think it's time that you went back to the piano! I miss you playing!!😀
Have a lovely day all of you! Love and best wishes Terry xx 😀✌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I thought the Daleks were only robots.
Thank you for enlightening me.
now I wanna binge dr who again
Basically, it was a mercy if you were a Kaled or Thal who died in the civil war on Skaro. Better that than being turned into a Dalek...
Finaly ... Now i understand so much more ... Thank you very much!!!
Whilst not completely accurate this video is a great history of the daleks
I am a dalek so I can relate to this.
That was really excellent! If only the fourth doctor had destroyed the Daleks when he could have instead of having that crisis….
This is an amazing and comprehensive telling of the Dalek story! Thank you for this. Just a tiny quibble, I know the old classics are so far removed from the fandom nowadays, but as someone who grew up on the original series, Exxilon and the Exxilons are pronounced: "EX-ill-lon" and "EX-ill-lons" not "ex-ZILL-ions" (you've added an extra syllable) and similarly the Movellans are not the "mo-VELL-ions" but the "mo-VELL-lans" But that's just fluff. Great work!
such a detailed and interesting video, didn't feel like 47 mins lmao
Excellent video! Thank you for it
“They survive, they always survive when i lose everything”
It’s crazy to think how much of the timelines just overlap with the travels of the doctor such that it takes so many years and meetings to stop even one event. While one doctor moves on thinking it complete another is just stepping up to actually finish it. Same with the Cybermen and autons
Daleks are like the covid 19 bugs u kill 1. 100 more show up and multiply😂😂😂
