Characters
References
Culture
- The Dalek Emperor knows that humanoids keep flowers.
Skaro locations
- The Dalek Emperor commands the building of a new road to the Lake of Mutations.
Notes
- The One in a Million Dalek's qualities are presumably rare ancestral traits reasserting themselves but his "diseased brain" is blamed on an accident in manufacture.
- Both "human" and humanoid are used to describe the One in a Million Dalek's qualities.
TV Century 21, issue 87 cover
Continuity
- Daleks are laying down metal roads. These aren't strictly necessary for moving around, but Daleks still use electrified floors as late as the 25th century. (COMIC: City of the Daleks)
- TV: The Evil of the Daleks would revisit the threat of unidentifiable Daleks questioning orders.
