	Death to the Daleks by Alan Stevens
		"Death to the Daleks" is generally considered to be a fairly run-of-the-mill Dalek story, neither as excruciatingly bad as its immediate predecessor, "Planet of the Daleks", nor as interesting as its successor, "Genesis of the Daleks".
		In "Death to the Daleks", we see a mix of a simply-explained plot, with a good deal of exposition and info-dumping, and lurid set-pieces, including such scenes as the crewman's death at the beginning of the story, and the use of drugs in the sacrifice sequence.
		Furthermore, although the Daleks imply that they are not in fact being affected by the plague (in that they say, in private, that this is not their "true reason" for wanting the parrinium), they would seem to be in a weakened military position.

	Dalek Empire: 'Death to the Daleks!'
		This is the third audio in the Dalek Empire series, continuing the story begun in Invasion of the Daleks and The Human Factor.
		She may claim that the Daleks trust her, and that her work with Kalendorf is sowing the seeds of a future rebellion -- but when she again refuses to answer a summons from the Supreme Controller, the Daleks blast through the door of her office and threaten to kill Kalendorf if she doesn’t obey them.
		But neither she nor Kalendorf realise that the Dalek Supreme and the Emperor have reached the right conclusion, though possibly for the wrong reasons; they know Kalendorf is a Knight of Velyshaa and therefore telepathic, and thus conclude that Suz needs him alive in order to spread the secret word of rebellion.

	THE DALEKS \| DALEK, ROBOTS, SKARO, KALEDS, THALS, ANDROIDS AND CYBERNETIC ORGANISMS - THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Externally, Daleks resemble man-sized pepper shakers, with a single mechanical eyestalk in a rotating dome, a gunstalk containing a directed energy weapon (or "death ray"), and a telescoping robot arm.
		Daleks also have a radio communicator built into their shells, and emit an alarm to summon other nearby Daleks if the casing is opened from outside.
		The Daleks were actually operated from inside by short operators who had to manipulate their eyestalks, domes and arms, as well as flashing the lights on their heads in sync with the actors supplying their voices.

		Indeed, the Daleks here are (unusually) shown to be masters of their environment; despite having no weapons or bargaining power, they immediately take control of their situation, conning the humans, negotiating with the Exxilons to ensure exclusive rights to the parrinium, and of course developing new guns in extremely short order.
		The irony of the Dalek involvement in 'Death to the Daleks' is that it is crucial to the success of the Earth mission; it is the Daleks who organize the mining (admittedly through their usual unpleasant tactics), and it is the Daleks who provide the explosives to destroy the beacon and end the power-drain.
		The Daleks' spaceship is one of the crappest we have seen in the series, even worse than the 'flying lampshades' in their previous appearance, Planet Of The Daleks.

	Chapter Eight: Death to the Daleks - Seven Keys to Doomsday
		A rescue shuttle was dispatched, and the Dalek Supreme returned to Skaro as salvage operations began to un-earth the buried army.
		A special Dalek task force was dispatched to Exxilon, their orders simple, under the guise that the Daleks themselves were suffering from the same plague, the task force was to secure the parrinium, kill the Earth medical force and then infect the planet with the virus (thus making it useless as a source of parrinium).
		But the Daleks are affected by the same power loss that has stranded the TARDIS and the Earth ship, and the Daleks find their weapons useless.

	Death to the Daleks
		The director of Death to the Daleks, Michael Briant, was always at the forefront of such methods, using images and movement as an effective way of getting his story across.
		But all this is to look at Death to the Daleks from a 1987 perspective, through the eyes of a twenty year-old (who admittedly knows little about camera-work, but can waffle at great length about it).
		Humour is relatively low-key as the action focuses mainly on the twin threats of the Daleks and the Exillons (and later their city) and the dark, oppressive atmosphere built up so carefully in the first episode is continued in the second, although inevitably to a lesser degree as more elements of the plot emerge.

	[No title]
		Death to the Daleks isn't bad, but certainly one that could have been improved upon by toning down more of the child-oriented adventure and heightening the adult one.
		Death to the Daleks has an interesting premise but it is handled extremely poorly and results in a tired runaround story which conforms to many of the stereotypes about the series, ranging from cheap studio sets to dodgy CSO to a poor mixture of studio and film material.
		The idea of holding back the Daleks' presence in a story until the end of the first episode may have worked in the 1960s but by now it just results in an opening instalment that is tediously slow and dominated by dreary scenes on the surface of Exxilon that do little to enhance the story.

	Death to the Daleks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Death to the Daleks is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from February 23 to March 16, 1974.
		It seems the Daleks are the source of the galactic plague, but despite this the Daleks, the Doctor and the group of humans form an uneasy alliance in their efforts to escape Exxilon.
		Separately, the Daleks too work out the beacon at the top of the City is the cause of their problems and resolve to destroy it.

		The Daleks send two of their number to enter the city, while Galloway and Hamilton are made to scale the city walls and place two explosive charges at the base of a beacon atop the city in the hope that by destroying the beacon they will stop the power drain.
		The Daleks plan to leave with the parrinium as soon as the power returns and they get the sacks of what they believe to be the mineral loaded onto their ship by Galloway and Hamilton.
		The Daleks intend to fire a plague missile at the planet once they are in space to ensure that it becomes uninhabitable.

	Death to the Daleks
		The Daleks have told the Doctor that several of the planets they have colonised are suffering from the same disease that has attacked the humans, and that the Daleks are dying in their millions - the Daleks need the chemical parrinium just as badly as the humans do.
		The three Daleks come together to discuss their plans: explosive charges are to be placed on the City's beacon, while a patrol of Daleks enters the City to investigate scientific installations.
		The first Dalek announces that its non-conductive shielding is burnt out, and that its sensors register it received a seven-thousand volt electrical charge: 'weapon evidently designed to destroy humanoid tissue.' As the Daleks watch, the floor heals up behind them, the holes fading away to leave a perfect patterned surface once again.

		It is discovered that the Daleks are the cause of the plague.
		The original title of the story was indeed "The Exxilons" and was not scheduled to feature the Daleks, they were included because Barry Letts' and Terrence Dicks' desire to feature a Dalek story.
		A third Dalek is in the background, and the tracks down which it moves to join the other two are clearly visible.

		Meanwhile, Sarah has discovered a huge white city, with a flashing beacon atop one of its spires, but she is captured by the hostile and savage native Exxilons, and taken to their cave to be executed for defiling their scared city.
		The Doctor, the humans and Daleks are all captured by the Exxilons, and the Doctor is sentenced to death.
		The Daleks attempt to leave the planet with the Parrinium, but are destroyed in an expulsion, triggered by Galloway, one of the humans, who has stowed aboard with a bomb.

	Dalek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Daleks have appeared with every incarnation of the Doctor, with the possible exception of the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 television movie (where only their voices were briefly heard).
		Externally, Daleks resemble man-sized salt or pepper shakers around five feet six inches tall, with a single mechanical eyestalk in a rotating dome, a gunstalk containing a projected energy weapon (or "death ray"), and a telescoping robot arm.
		In Dalek (2005), the manipulator arm, in addition to its technology interfacing abilities, was able to kill a man by crushing his skull, and in Doomsday (2006) extract the brainwaves from a man's head, killing him in the process.

		The Daleks are reduced to trundling around, screaming orders, with no hint of the deviousness that characterised their early appearances.
		It's said that the Daleks won't be in the new series because the BBC and Terry Nation's estate couldn't agree terms over their use.
		Add to that the atmospheric surface Exillons' temple, the rather sweet Balal and the moment when 2 Daleks look at each other and lower their eyestalks after one of their number is destroyed by the City and you've got a sure winner.

		The only bright spot in the whole thing is that little scene where the Daleks use a miniature TARDIS for weapon practice.
		His family was killed 'in one of the early Dalek wars', and he grew up 'as a ragged poverty-stricken refugee'.
		The characters are once again mostly cardboard cut-outs, and the Daleks hardly threatening; the only exception is Bellal, who comes across as an interesting character.

		The Doctor and the humans enter into an uneasy alliance with a group of Daleks who also land on the planet and whose weapons are rendered inactive by the energy drain.
		The Daleks plan to take all the parrinium but their ship is destroyed with a bomb triggered by one of the humans who has stowed away on board.
		This may perhaps help to account for the fact that Death to the Daleks has, over the years, come in for far more than its fair share of criticism.

		However, the Daleks power is also drained, and so they agree to form an uneasy alliance with the Doctor and the humans...
		In terms of Dalek stories, given the choice between this and "The Chase" or "Day of the Daleks" I would always choose "Death to the Daleks".
		I think "Death to the Daleks" is a nice one to show to children of 4 or 5 as an introduction to the Daleks, there is much of interest in there for them and just enough for the adult to explain what is happening.
