Cover blurb
"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

The distinctive battle-cry of the Daleks echoed across television screens for over 20 years as children (and adults) shivered in their seats or from behind their sofas. From their invention in 1963, the Daleks have always been the Doctor's most famous and indeed most formidable adversaries. Introduced by Doctor No. 5, Peter Davison, this special BBC Video explores those early years of Dalekmania back in the '60s.

There are interviews with Terry Nation — creator of the Daleks, Raymond P Cusick — the creatures' designer and John Scott Martin and Roy Skelton — Dalek operator and Dalek voice respectively, as they reminisce about those early beginnings.

In addition there are three complete episodes representing all that exists from two stories from the Hartnell and Troughton eras of the show:

The Daleks' Masterplan - Episode 5 Originally transmitted 11th December 1965.

The Daleks' Masterplan - Episode 10 Originally transmitted 15th January 1966.

The Evil of the Daleks - Episode 2 Originally transmitted 27th May 1967.

The tape also includes clips from other black and white Dalek stories as well as a snippet of the Daleks' very own pop record and a glimpse of Peter Cushing as the famous Time Lord in the big screen movie Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150AD.
