Dr. Who and the Daleks: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

This 1965 film cashed in on the craze of Dalekmania by adapting the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S1 E2 The Daleks|The Daleks]]" into a cinema spectacle. It featured the Daleks - IN COLOUR! - battling against [[Peter Cushing]] as Dr Who.

It was followed a year later by ''[[Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 ~~AD (Film)~~|Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 AD]]''.

It was followed a year later by ''[[Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.|Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 AD]]''.

=== Tropes used in this film: ===

Line 12:

** 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 On 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/Recap/S3 E4 The Daleks Master Plan|The Daleks' Master Plan]]."

* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: From seven 25-minute episodes (175 minutes total) to one 79-minute film.
