    Favourite Dalek Stories?

    I was watching Daleks in Manhattan last night (which I didn't mind) and I started thinking about my favourites when it comes to the Daleks:

    Day of the Daleks- I saw this as a kid and it rocked my world, cool story, great Doctor and the Ogrons gave it that hint of Planet of the Apes.

    Remembrance of the Daleks- The Daleks seem more menacing in this one, I like the visit to Totters lane too. The Doctor really screws them over in the end.

    Dalek- Excellent emotional episode, gave a neat vibe to the new series. Of course, this kind of got ruined when they kept returning but I guess the best villains never truly die.

    Anybody have any other favourites?

    I agree with you on Day and Rememberance.

    Genesis of the Daleks has got to be up there too, along with Destiny of the Daleks and Planet of the Daleks. I also quite like Resurrection.

      Oddly, I'm not the biggest fan of Genesis, I've never really liked the retroactive continuity there. I can understand why people do however, it's a great era for stories.

      This is going to sound odd but does everyone like Davros? I've always disliked the character.

          I'm surprised to see Death in your top ten, it's not terrible, just not "epic" I guess.

          Destiny has a good story IMO but poor execution in some parts.

            I think I like Death because it's Pertwee's last season, and there's just something about the whole season 11 I like.
            I also like the fact the Daleks had some of their power taken away and had to form a very uneasy alliance with the Doctor. That was just different.
            Lastly, besides storyline and even special effects, a good part of that story was filmed outside the studio.
            For me that's a big plus.
            I hate studio bound talking head stories..
            I also liked that Sleestack looking alien

              I can see that, it's a different kind of Dalek story. I will admit one of my bigger problems with it was reading the Target novel before I watched it. Sometimes that can backfire as you imagine it in a grander fashion than it actually is.

                Hmmmm....

                "Remembrance of the Daleks" is one of my all time fave episodes. Cosmic powered baseball bat, evil teachers right out of a Pink Floyd video, and the scene with the stairs... *hee hee*

                I get the impression I'd like "Evil of the Daleks" if more than 20 minutes of it still existed.

                "The Dalek Master Plan" sounds interesting; if only for the body count. Again, it's too bad most of it's lost.

                "Dalek" was a great episode! Made them seem REALLY scary. They've been toughened up since the original show. (Cybermen and Daleks used to be evenly matched.)

                  I've got Evil and Power of the Daleks on Audio and IMO they're pretty good.

                  I've only ever read the novellisation of Masterplan.

                        Dalekmania ?

                        That's the documentary that came with the Cushing movies ?

                        Yea, I have it...

                        It's pretty good, but I wouldn't jump up and down over it.

                          My favorites...The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Genesis of the Daleks, Dalek, The Daleks and The Parting of The Ways. I also half-like Daleks in Manhatten (I'm just just not fond of the pig people...Ick).

                          Dalek...Uh..I mean Dana

                            [QUOTE=palitoy;11320]OK I want to get my hands on that.

                            go to loose cannon.com they have just about every lost episode aviable as recons, which is any suriving eposide and cut out scenes and still photos dubbed with the missing epsiode sound track but they only have vsh tapes so you need to transfer them to dvd the price is free you only pay for the blank tape and shipping

                              Speaking of Daleks ........

                              I was just watching School Reunion the other day and one scene always bugs me ....

                              Remember when Sarah Jane and Rose is having that P'ing contest ?

                              I forgot the exact quotes, but it was something like .........

                              Sarah: ----- Daleks, lots of Daleks
                              Rose: ------ Met the emperor

                              In reality, wouldn't Sarah have countered back with something like --- Helped the Doctor kick Davros's butt .....

                              To which Rose would say, Who's Davros ?

                              And Sarah would reply---- YOU don't know who Davros is ?

                              Sarah: Forget it
