09 Aug 04 - 01:36 PM (#1243341) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: Blackcatter Interesting. As a long-time fan of Dr. Who from the U.S., it's good to see the series continue. I was one of the instigators of a campaign to get Dr. Who on U.S. TV back in the early 80s. Miami's public TV station began showing it and we then started a SF con that had a decidedly Dr. Who feel. I've met 5 of the first 6 doctors (Hartnell had passed by then) as well as a number of other cast members. We used to entice them over the con in the nice weather of a February in Miami. I remember having a great conversation in the hot tub with Pat Troughton and Colin Baker. |

09 Aug 04 - 02:10 PM (#1243374) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: TheBigPinkLad The black Dalek used to put the shits up me. It was sort of the foreman and had a slightly higher-pitched voice and always seemed extra pissed off. Especially when the Tharls entered the city. |

09 Aug 04 - 02:11 PM (#1243376) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: McGrath of Harlow I bet they don't give them legs - there'll be some kind of levitation technology that allows them to get up stairs.

09 Aug 04 - 07:56 PM (#1243630) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: GUEST Even though we had black and white telly, I know what you mean about the black dalek. Definitely the scariest thing on TV. I never thought the prog was as scary in colour, or maybe I was just older? And Bonnie Langford just reminded me of Junior Showtime. |

09 Aug 04 - 08:19 PM (#1243655) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: Shanghaiceltic I just wonder if todays kids will run behind the sofa or just channel hop the scary bits. As a six year old when it was originally on we used to nick the cardboard boxes from the local grocer, cut a hole in the top, shove two sticks through the box and stumble up and down the road where we lived scaring cats, dogs, other local kids and old ladies with shrill cries of; 'I AM A DALEK,I AM A DALAK.......' Fondly remembered days. |

09 Aug 04 - 08:49 PM (#1243679) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: GUEST,ozmacca Daleks always struck me as animated dustbins with a bad attitude - and an equally bad case of boils. Mind, the aggressive attitude was at least understandable. There they are, minding their own business, not actually intending to dominate the universe. just looking for the bloke who invented the staircase. Somebody mentioned a Dalek Morris side. I always thought the Cybermen would have been ideal for that. They even had the compulsory melodeon-like device stuck on their chests, and I can just see the Doctor and inappropriately clad female companion surrounded by a circle of Cybermen, closing in on them. Cut to frightened faces..... Fade out end of episode to crescendo of slightly ridiculous electronic music...... Start up new episode with close up of leading Cyberman grasping the sides of the aforesaid apparatus and pulling it apart, then striking up a Morris tune as all the other Cybermen start dancing round and hitting each other with sticks covered in silver paper while the Doctor and companion scream in terror. |

10 Aug 04 - 04:37 AM (#1243860) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: Gurney Don't know why anyone would worry about them. They were too slow to catch a cold. Ambush killers, and bloody uncamouflaged at that. And they couldn't even get up the kirb! In later episodes they did have a levitation device, and you could nearly see the fishing line. You could murder the lot of them with a Robot Wars contestant, especially Chaos II. THAT would be an episode to watch. Skinned rabbits in a mobility scooter. |

10 Aug 04 - 04:57 AM (#1243864) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: Helen I've just come back in to my computer after watching tonight's episode of Dr Who on Oz tv and here you all are talking about him. The Daleks scared the crap out of me as a kid. I used to get up casually and just leave the room for a bit when they went berserk. I think it was the combination of their voices and the black-white-black-white negative effect as people were killed. When I was in a shared house we rented a black & white tv because of Dr Who, and when it started in colour we had to upgrade to a colour tv. The only other movie character which puts the wind up me is the evil bloke in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when he laughs that high pitched, insane laugh as he dumps the Toon in the barrel of green gloop. I can't watch that scene either. Thank god for fast forward on video players. Helen |

12 Aug 04 - 12:26 PM (#1245911) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: TheBigPinkLad I just had a flashback that made me sad. In 1964 (?) when the Daleks first appeared, the Daily Express ran a Dr. Who competition where you could win a Dalek! I entered, won, and got in the post a cut-it-out-yersel cardboard Dalek that you scored down the lines ans cellotaped together. It was crap. I was soooooooooooooo disappointed. Anyone else get one of those? |

13 Aug 04 - 02:44 AM (#1246531) Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back From: Shanghaiceltic I recall my dad scouring the town for battery operated daleks for Christmas, every where was sold out or seemed to be, but on Christmas Day they were in the stocking. What a dad! Could never understand why our teacher in Primary school put her foot down when we suggested that daleks be Herod's men or the bad guys in the Nativity Play, so we stuck with the good old stable scene and no massacre by Daleks or reference to Herod and the massacre of the innocents. |
