BBC Doctor Who - Daleks: Day One




BBC Doctor Who

It's day one of our Dalek celebration and the first person to arrive at the party is Davros, the misguided mad man who created the Daleks on his home planet of Skaro.

The clip comes from the 1975 story, Genesis of the Daleks, and in this adventure we learnt about the origins of the Doctor's oldest enemies. It turns out they were created by a talented but twisted scientist, Davros, who saw the creatures as the only way his race, the Kaleds, could survive after a damaging, almost endless war with the Thals. The big flaw in his plan was making the Daleks deadly and brilliant... but without compassion or mercy.

In this sequence we join Sarah Jane Smith and meet Davros for the first time. Sarah finds him testing the weaponry of his fledgling creations and as he realises they can blast away with power and accuracy, he delivers that chilling and ominous line: 'The weaponry is perfect... Now we can begin!'

If you think you know the Daleks, check out our 'what happens next?' clip. It features a few moments from The Space Museum and all you have to do is answer this: what happens to the Dalek? We'll bring you the full clip tomorrow!

We'll also have more Dalek stuff for you then, and don't forget you can find more clips, information, wallpapers and galleries on their monster page right now, plus games featuring them, including City of the Daleks, in our Fun and Games section.

And please remember: we want your Dalek memories... find out what we're after and how to contribute!

For a laugh I tried putting a £50 bet on me to play the next Doctor because I thought I was in with a chance, but all the boys I knew in Islington decided I must have some inside info so they piled in behind me. When the betting shop staff asked who I was, the boys told them my father had played Doctor Who so they called head office about it and then declared all bets off. The next thing I knew I was in the news as running for the part, but I think it stemmed from trying to put £50 on myself. I'd love to have a guest part, but when it comes to the main role my father was too big an act to follow....."

Hairy encounter for Time Lord Matt



Media_httpdyimgcoming_nagho

Yahoo! News UK


The Doctor has been involved in dozens of close shaves - but now he's in a whole heap of stubble.

The usually smooth-skinned actor Matt Smith sports a tatty beard for an episode of the next series of Doctor Who to be screened later this year.

But the screen star has come clean and admitted he used a fake beard for the scenes because he did not have the time to grow one of his own during filming.

Smith, 27, said: "It was a glued-on beard. I wouldn't be able to grow a full-on beard like that in time."

The beard is seen briefly in a trailer for the series, in which he also appears to be chained and wearing a straitjacket.

Scrubbing the false fur from his face proved to be a nasty business, he said. "They had to remove it with a substance smelling like white turps," said Smith.

He is midway through filming the next episodes, which will be part of his second series. He has also been filming special scenes scripted by show boss Steven Moffat for a new interactive exhibition to be staged at London's Olympia from next month, the Doctor Who Experience.

It will feature costumes, models and gadgets from the popular BBC1 family programme.

He said: "It gives a sense of the TV show. I've filmed some scenes for the experience. It places you, the fan, at the heart of the action and become the companion, in a sense. There's a Tardis, which you can go on.

"The museum has all things Doctor Who. It should feature costumes from all the Doctors over the ages, and I'm sure I've got a few bits in there."
