It's kind of sad that the man who designed the iconic Dalek prop didn't get ownership of it because the guy who wrote the script they appeared in but had no idea what they would look like, claimed it and held it as his main meal ticket for decades.
If you take a look at the outline Nation gave to the designer, it's quite specific. I think the story of Nation feeding off a BBC staff designer is a little overblown.
Like I've said on Twitter the gold Dalek was repainted Bronze to represent the current series! The Nation Estate have always been a bit Dickish even Terry himself was a bit on the edge!
I think it may have also led to all of the Classic Who Dalek stories being removed from airing here in the US. It was kind of a blow for public television.
Ah yes, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the first time I ever saw a Dalek. Something about the domes caught my interest, - a year or 2 later, I saw a doctor who advertisement in magazine, & whatta ya know: right there in the pages, a bronze Time War Dalek. There on, the floodgates opened.
Mammoth Chats 394 subscribers I absolutely LOVE the Movie Daleks!!!! It's a shame that most movies nowadays refuse to use Daleks for fear of Terry Nation coming after them (HEH! I like to see them TRY! Since they have no police jurisdiction right here in North America. Personally I think Daleks should be allowed in movies an cartoons, as long as it's done right!)
Traditionally it's been: head, neck (the mesh bit), shoulders (slats, band and arms), skirt, bumper. Although when modern Daleks started rotating their shoulders to shoot backwards, that part was referred to as "The mid-section".
no, because thats just a rumor, with no actual proof such an agreement exists, when its much more simply, they use the daleks so often because they are popular
At 2:50 ish you say the looney tunes light is red but then show a clip from that movie where Donald is running past the bottom of the screen and the light is orange/golden.
@@MammothChats No worries, not a big thing.. Probably just a freudian slip. When there's multiple designs that are remarkably similar and maybe only change one thing it can get a little muddled in remembering what is what. Just wanted to point it out, some people will add in an annotation or something for errors. Not saying you have to but if you wanted to, and didn't notice the mixup.
@@TanakaMatsumoto yeah I did have quite a few errors on their designs in my first draft but it slipped through somehow. Thank you for being so understanding.
@@MammothChats Everyone makes mistakes... Thank you for not being aggressive because I pointed it out, you'd be surprised how many people get mad at the messenger.
These aren't accurate replicas really - the mid section is too tall, the neck rings are wrong and film Daleks used tapered beakers rather than the jars on these two.

If you mean for TED 2 then perhaps, but Looney Tunes Back In Action came out 2 years before any official announcement of a new doctor who.
@@MammothChats Yes the Ted 2 Dalek from gold to bronze and I know Back in action was 2003.
@@badwolf66 ah makes more sense, I’d like to follow you on twitter what’s your @
@@MammothChats It is @BADW0LF66
Followed ya!

Perhaps yeah
I think the Nation estate should just sit back in their Davros personal transporters and count the royalties.
2:16 That's the real Peter Griffin though.

Even if these daleks were almost doomed, I always love to see daleks as an unexpected cameo, best part of films

Those Daleks look a bit longer in the mid parts than usual. Midriff? Not sure what you call that bit! ☺️
Ah I see what you mean! They are peculiar, obviously made by a skilled prop department.
Traditionally it's been: head, neck (the mesh bit), shoulders (slats, band and arms), skirt, bumper. Although when modern Daleks started rotating their shoulders to shoot backwards, that part was referred to as "The mid-section".
The Daleke sure are a nightmare, even in the realm of legal copyright, WOW!
So is it true that looney toones is the reason there has to be at least one dalek story every series since the revival?
Maybe 🤔
no, because thats just a rumor, with no actual proof such an agreement exists, when its much more simply, they use the daleks so often because they are popular
There was no Dalek story in series six only a cameo.
Actually the dr.who films are cannon in the show the films them selfs are films within the shows universe.
I never knew the Daleks were in a LoonyTunes film 😂 wonder how they would report this back to their creator
😂
2:05 "Nerd convention"? "NERD CONVENTION"?????? How DARE you, "Mammoth Chats"!!!
Great video man very informative
Great review
You know, I think even Daleks woul run from the girls from St Trinians! Afterall, they took down David Tennants villain.
0:36 is the dalek in the middle duel weilding gun sticks?
Nah he's just got no plunger ig xD
Did you know the daleks was in the classic thunderbirds episode the man from MI.5
Yes! I found it out through Reddit but it’s cool that Dalek Bumps covered it!
Well do you like the classic thunderbirds 1965 to 1966
I have watched a bit of it but I’m not a massive fan of it, lol
Well do you like the classic thunderbirds yes or no
I’m not a massive fan of it.
Intriguing!

Yeah I accidentally left that bit in apologies!

No I really appreciate it when people point out a mistake and are respectful it’s way better.

I am aware of this.
Darn, almost
Love this one
Nation didn’t buy the rights! Amacus Productions did… Facts: not as tricky as they seem.
Apologies!
It's spelled "Amicus."
Fact.
