ThisThe 1965 film '''''Dr. Who and the Daleks''''' cashed in on the craze of Dalekmania by adapting the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S1 E2/E02 The Daleks|The Daleks]]" into a cinema spectacle. It featured the Daleks - IN'''in COLOURcolour!''' - battling against [[Peter Cushing]] as Dr Who.
 
It was followed a year later by ''[[Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD (Film)|Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 ADA.D.]]''.
 
=== Tropes used in this film: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: Let us count the ways!
** The character of the Time Lord known as The Doctor has become a human scientist called Dr. Who.
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
** Susan is a little girl of about twelve.
** Dr. Who's ship is known as ''TARDIS'' (note the lack of the definite article).
** ''TARDIS'' is still a police box that is [[Bigger Onon the Inside]] (somehow), but its interior consists of only one room, and it's built very haphazardly. There's no hexagonal console, time rotor, or roundels--there are many random buttons, wires, and switches, and a single lever is all that controls the space/time travel mechanism. Also, no [[Most Wonderful Sound|vworp noise]].
* [[Canon Immigrant]]/[[Development Gag]]: The Daleks in this film were supposed to have flamethrowers, which were scrapped for the infamous fog cannons. However, flamethrowers were included with the Daleks in regular canon, in "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S3 E4/E04 The Daleks Master Plan|The Daleks' Master Plan]]."
* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: From seven 25-minute episodes (175 minutes total) to one 79-minute film.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: At the end, our heroes try to get back to London, but end up in the middle of an ancient Roman battle.
