Cover blurb:
“After the neutronic war, our Dalek forefathers retired into the city, protected by our machines."

The second Doctor Who serial, The Daleks (1963-64), establishes both the principle that the Doctor fights alien monsters, and the most iconic of those he fights. Oliver Wake looks at its influences, from HG Wells’ The Time Machine through Nazi eugenics to the movies of the atomic era, and at how Terry Nation’s script was translated through sound and visual design into perhaps the most important Doctor Who story of all.

Oliver Wake has written for the British Film Institute, Arrow Films and Doctor Who Magazine.


THE BLACK ARCHIVE:
Book-length looks at single Doctor Who stories from 1963 to the present day

“A grandly ambitious thing to attempt with something as exhaustively detailed as (Doctor Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf."
