The '''1966 Dalek invasion of Earth''' was a [[Dalek invasion]] | The '''1966 Dalek invasion of Earth''' was a fake [[Dalek invasion]] of [[Earth]] created as a [[tourist]] attraction by the [[Dalek Dome]] entertainment company, using fake [[Dalek]]s who believed themselves to be real. It began during the [[1966 World Cup Final|World Cup Final]] at [[Wembley Stadium]] in [[1966]]. As the invasion progressed and spread across the [[Earth]], however, the "Daleks" fought the newly-regenerated [[Fourteenth Doctor]] and successfully cornered him, firing on him to exterminate the Doctor. Upon realising he was not dead despite being shot multiple times, however, the Doctor began to suspect the Daleks invading the Earth were not real Dalek units, despite the [[Supreme Dalek (Liberation of the Daleks)|Supreme Dalek]] indeed believing itself to be real. | ||

The [[1966]] [[Dalek invasion]] of [[Earth]] was an attraction created by the [[Dalek Dome]], an entertainment company which used the campaigns and horrors carried out by the [[Dalek]]s as inspiration. The fake Daleks involved in the "invasion" believed themselves to be real. [[Time tourist]]s were offered the attraction as an experience.

Their encounter was interrupted by the arrival of a [[Dalek flying saucer|flying saucer]] above the Stadium, which unleashed a horde of [[Bronze Dalek]]s, who began their attack by [[Extermination|exterminating]] the players on the field. Across the Earth, Bronze Daleks attacked and exterminated. [[Egypt]] was lit aflame, with the [[Sphinx]] being destroyed. The Doctor believed the invasion to be real. | ||

With subsequent shots also hitting their mark but not killing the Doctor, the enraged Supreme ordered the Doctor be taken to its command saucer. Meanwhile, Daleks on [[hoverbout]]s carved into [[Mount Rushmore]] with their lasers, adding [[Dalek Supreme Type E|the casing]] of a Supreme Dalek to the statue of [[President of the United States|American Presidents]]. The family of time tourists took a photo before the new monument. On the command saucer, the Doctor scanned himself with the [[sonic screwdriver]] rather than submit to Dalek scans, finding that all his readings were normal and therefore he should not be immune to Dalek blasts. Throwing himself onto the Supreme's casing to annoy it, the Doctor offered to uncover what was going on if the Daleks withdrew their invasion forces, which was transmitted to the invasion force as a temporary retreat. Across the Earth and above it, Daleks flocked back to their saucers, with the family, currently in the ruins of Egypt, noting the Daleks were not supposed to leave yet. | With subsequent shots also hitting their mark but not killing the Doctor, the enraged Supreme ordered the Doctor be taken to its command saucer.

As the saucers pulled back from Earth, the Doctor scanned the bronze Daleks before him in the command room, finding that all the drones before him shared the exact same traits. More than mere clones, the Daleks were the same biologically, atomically, and chemically, which the Doctor declared was proof they were not real Daleks. The Supreme, however, decried this as a lie and ordered its fleet to enter [[Formation Red Icosahedron]] around the Earth to prove they were real. Surrounding the planet, the Dalek saucers fired and appeared to destroy the planet, horrifying the Doctor.

However, just as the Daleks prepared to take the Doctor to Skaro to be studied for his apparent immunity to extermination, two Dalek Dome employees arrived and took the Doctor away via dematerialisation, with the Daleks failing to detect the two employees due to shielding. Nevertheless, the Supreme gloated in victoy at having captured the Doctor's TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)|Liberation of the Daleks]]'') | ||
