A Strategist Dalek was part of the Parliament of the Daleks that made a request to the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams to save the Daleks from the Dalek Asylum. Just as the Parliament was about to destroy the Asylum, Oswin Oswald removed any memory of the Doctor from the Daleks' Pathweb from the centre of the Asylum, causing the Strategist Dalek, along with all other members of the Parliament, to forget the Doctor entirely. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)
Behind the scenes
Prop
Compared to the initial Strategist Dalek seen in Victory of the Daleks, this Dalek model was modified from the original design to sport a deeper, more metallic shade of blue, the biological eyepiece was made more obvious and the hunchback look was toned down.
Sylvester McCoy uses the new Strategist Dalek prop to secure a part in the 50th Anniversary Special in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
In the years following its appearance on television, this prop has been retained and placed on display by the BBC.[1] In 2019, the Strategist Dalek served as the instrument of a Halloween prank; placed at the BBC reception, the Dalek approached and exclaimed "Exterminate!" at unsuspecting visitors whose reactions were filmed by hidden cameras.[2]
