Dalek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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.

Destiny of the Daleks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Destiny of the Daleks is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from September 1 to September 22, 1979. In the meantime Romana meets with some other workers, with whom she discusses the Daleks' hatred for humanoids, and she learns that she is getting weaker as a result of radiation sickness. The two geniuses talk about the Daleks' "accomplishments": whilst the Doctor comments on the countless lives the Daleks have ruined, Davros replies that this is only the beginning - the Daleks have only just begun their conquest of the cosmos. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Destiny_of_the_Daleks   (2022 words)

skonnos: destiny of the daleks tv review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) In my opinion Destiny of the Daleks is a more superior production to The Horns of Nimon, though because it deals with the Doctor's most feared enemies in a decidedly less than satisfactory way, it seems to be the brunt of more flak than the other story. This is very apparent in Destiny of the Daleks and the story inbetween might never have happened such is the invisible effect or reaction it has on the Doctor and Romana. Destiny of the Daleks can perhaps be said to have at least one or two redeeming features. freespace.virgin.net /mark.campbell10/destiny.htm   (1555 words)

Destiny of the Daleks Daleks find...nothing but realize from charts that the objective they were looking for should be here. Davros is eventually brought out of cryogenic suspension in Resurrection of the Daleks, when the Daleks need his help to cure them of a deadly virus. In War of the Daleks, it is revealed that the relationship between the Daleks and Movellans isn’t quite as it appears here, but is instead part of a plan to prevent the destruction of Skaro in Remembrance of the Daleks. www.drwhoguide.com /who_5j.htm   (6829 words)

THE ALTERNATE HISTORIES OF THE DALEKS By alerting senior Kaled politicians to the way in which Davros was developing the Daleks, and triggering their intervention, the Doctor's actions led Davros to betray the Kaleds and facilitate the Thals' successful nuclear attack on the Kaled domed city. These Daleks were unable to outwit a race of androids, the Movellans, and appeared to be nomadic 'robber barons' without a capital city on Skaro. The parlous state of Dalek power witnessed in Destiny of the Daleks was testimony to what would happen to the Daleks without their creator. www.geocities.com /dalekgalaxy   (1084 words)

[No title] It's not really fare or accurate to call Destiny Of The Daleks a sequel to Genesis of the Daleks, as the only real similarity is that they both are set on Skaro and have Davros in them, but it's pretty hard not to think of this as a big comedown from that wonderful classic. Destiny of the Daleks retroactively violated one of Doctor Who's most powerful scenes, Davros' death, but since that was already done, it was up to Saward and Aaronovitch to make the best of a bad situation, and they did. Being the first Dalek story after Genesis is always going to cast a bit of a shadow, and, true, Destiny of the Daleks isn't as good - the sheer scale and profundity is inferior to Genesis, but Destiny of the Daleks didn't have the luxury of being a six-parter. www.pagefillers.com /dwrg/dest.htm   (7921 words)

A Brief History Of Time (Travel): Destiny Of The Daleks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) Destiny Of The Daleks was formally commissioned on December 20th.

Destiny of the Daleks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) My biggest gripe with the story is that like many others usually with the word “Dalek” in the title, is what could’ve been a great cliffhanger at the end of episode 1 is spoilt by the fact we already know Daleks are going to be involved. For instance, the plot with the Daleks and Movellans at an impasse is amusing and intriguing. As a follow-up to the superlative Genesis of the Daleks, Destiny is a dimsal failure on all counts. www.76totterslane.com /destinydk   (2717 words)

[No title] Whilst the first encounter between a new Doctor and the Daleks and the Daleks' origin tale are both arguments for making the tale a six parter it is hard to escape the view that it would have been even stronger at only four parts. He has the existence of the Daleks in his hands, quite literally, and his agonising moral dilemma, a variation on the old ethical question of murdering a baby Hitler, is stirring television. Terry Nation's depiction of the Daleks as invading Nazis, as typified in 1960s stories like The Dalek Invasion of Earth, is turned up several notches here: the allusions are constant and unpleasant, from Aryan notions of racial purity, to jackbooted soldiers and Nyder's Iron Cross and, of course, everything about Davros. www.pagefillers.com /dwrg/gene.htm   (8838 words)

He discovers that the Movellans and the Daleks are at war, but both sides use logic to make their tactical decisions, and are both consequently locked in an impasse.

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Doctor Who - Destiny of the Daleks at Epinions.com The Daleks are on Skaro hunting for their humanoid creator Davros whom they abandoned there in a dormant state long ago.

Outpost Gallifrey: Episode Guide Kicking off the new season was "Destiny of the Daleks," the first return of the popular villains since 1975's "Genesis of the Daleks," which was filmed third to accommodate author Terry Nation. During the opening credits, Destiny of the Daleks's individual segments were called episodes, rather than parts as was the standard for all other fourth Doctor stories. Released as “Destiny of the Daleks” in the UK [July 1994] and Australia/New Zealand [August 1994] (BBC catalog #5350), US/Canada [May 1997] (WHV catalog #E1376); episodic format; cover illustration by Andrew Skilleter. www.gallifreyone.com /episode.php?id=5j   (1164 words)

"Destiny of the Daleks" (Doctor Who #104)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) The Doctor and a newly-regenerated Romana arrive on Skaro and discover that the Daleks are using explosive charges and a group of humanoid slave workers to mine the planet in search of their creator, Davros. A stalemate has arisen in an interplanetary war that the Daleks are waging against the robotic Movellans, and their hope is that Davros will be able to give them the edge. The opening scenes of Destiny of the Daleks get the new season off to a shaky start, Romana's regeneration - in which she 'tries on' a number of unsuitable bodies before settling on the Lalla Ward version - being played very much for laughs. drwho.epguides.info /?ID=1315   (337 words)

Last check: 2007-09-18) Before long, she is captured by the Daleks in a moment that mimics the cliffhanger to Episode 1 of the first Daleks story. You see, the Daleks cannot win their war against the Mavelins because both robotic races are using logic against each other and therefor no one can gain an advantage over the other. The Daleks, ruthless and shapeless (and never seen) beings, have terrorized the galaxy with their efforts of conquest for untold of generations (since 1963 on earth, anyway) but this story is one more sign that the producers wanted to make a clean break from them as well as the Doctor's other frequent foes. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6304432402?v=glance   (2737 words)

A Brief History Of Time (Travel): Resurrection Of The Daleks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) The Daleks have lost the war with the Movellans due to a virus which affects only their kind. The Dalek story's delay also meant that original Davros Michael Wisher, who was to appear in The Return, was forced to drop out due to commitments with the theatrical production of The Dame Of Sark (Wisher had been replaced on Destiny Of The Daleks by David Gooderson for similar reasons). Regular Dalek voice artiste Roy Skelton was also unavailable for the new recording dates, and so Royce Mills and Brian Miller (the husband of Elisabeth Sladen, who had played former companion Sarah Jane Smith) were brought in to replace him. www.physics.mun.ca /~sps/serials/6p.html   (1626 words)

Last check: 2007-09-18) Davros is found in the ruins of the old Kaled city and immediately revives, his life support systems having held him in suspended animation after his apparent 'death'.

The Movellans are deactivated and Davros is cryogenically frozen on board their ship until the freed slave workers can take him to Earth and ensure he is tried for his crimes. www.geocities.com /locus63/5j.htm   (291 words)

In the end, the impression given is that Nation is simply struggling to come up with a plausible reason why the Daleks should need to go in search of their creator for assistance.This brings us to the nub of the story's problems. The plot device by way of which this is achieved in Destiny of the Daleks is frankly ludicrous, and the character in general is nowhere near as well-written or as subtle here as in the earlier story. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000057931   (453 words)

Target Practice #051: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks Quite slow and very badly acted outside the regulars, Destiny does at least have its moments, such as the Doctor's reactions to Romana's other bodies, and the direction is sound. When the Daleks interrogate Romana, she seems more angry than frightened of them. The Dalek mutant: It's 'a pulsating green blob, a kind of land-jellyfish', and it's a bit more mobile than its TV counterpart. www.targetpractice.org.uk /t1979/target051.htm   (694 words)
