“When this damnable business is done, Watson, I shall be glad of it,” said Holmes. “The state visit?” “Naturally.” London’s papers were filled that spring with news of the impending state visit by the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. “I should think this a time for celebration, Holmes, not exasperation.” “Were it not forContinue reading “The Daleks”

The Dalek Invasion of Endor
“You can’t do this, Davros!” the Doctor screamed from captivity. Davros rolled to the Doctor’s cell. “You are too late. My Spider-Daleks are moving through the jungles. By sunrise, no Ewok will remain alive.” “Ewoks,” the Doctor whispered, stunned. The Black Dalek outside the Doctor’s cell shook its eyestalk. “ALL EWOKS WILL BE EXTERMINATED.” TheContinue reading “The Dalek Invasion of Endor”
On Christmas With the Daleks
An extract from a parchment found in the ruins of Skaro in the 38th-century: “And there were in the same country Kaleds abiding in the wastelands, keeping watch over their mutants by night. And, lo, Nyder came upon them, and the glory of the Lord Davros shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.Continue reading “On Christmas With the Daleks”
On BBC America’s “Asylum of the Daleks” Screening
Yes, I scored tickets to BBC America’s “Asylum of the Daleks” Doctor Who screening in New York yesterday. You may have heard horror stories about acquiring tickets. My luck may be lousy in everything else, but the one time it counted the luck came through. 🙂 I made two “immediate reaction” tweets. The first: “HolyContinue reading “On BBC America’s “Asylum of the Daleks” Screening”
On Craig Ferguson and His Pet Dalek
While I anxiously await Doctor Who‘s Matt Smith’s appearance on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson in an hour and a half, here’s the opening monologue from Ferguson’s Monday, November 15th episode where he goofs off with a Dalek prop: Some thoughts, because I vented on Twitter today some frustrations I’d had when discussingContinue reading “On Craig Ferguson and His Pet Dalek”

On Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer
My friend Todd “Scavenger” Kogutt keeps telling me about the Doctor Who spin-off he’d love to see: Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer, starring Bruce Campbell. The first time he told me this I must confess that I snarfed coffee on my monitor–I just didn’t see it. But after the recent Dalek two-parter Todd brought the ideaContinue reading “On Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer”
On Abducted by the Daleks
Abducted by the Daleks. I can’t believe I’m about to attempt a serious review of this. We’ll start with a summary. Spoilers ahead. On some deserted road in the middle of a forest four eastern European women are driving through the night, through a stretch of woods that one of the women claims is theContinue reading “On Abducted by the Daleks”
On Dalek Naughtiness
Had I known about this, I’d probably have wanted to see it: Abducted by the Daleks, a pornographic film in which women are abducted by the Daleks for use as sex slaves. The Sun, a London tabloid, described the film thusly: Dr Who’s foes capture three naked “disco babes” in the 18-rated DVD. They chaseContinue reading “On Dalek Naughtiness”
Valeyard of the Daleks
May 1997 saw the release of Virgin Publishing’s final Doctor Who novel — Lance Parkin’s eighth Doctor novel The Dying Days. Admittedly I don’t have much to go by way of comparison with the New Adventures as I’ve read only about a dozen or so of the sixty published, but it’s one of the bestContinue reading “Valeyard of the Daleks”
