'''''Dalek: Spoof Scenes''''' was a comedic short story written by [[Robert Shearman]]. The story was written in screenplay format, and presented as a series of excerpts from "early scripts" for ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', featuring monsters other than [[Dalek]]s. In reality, Shearman wrote the story specially for ''[[Doctor Who: Lockdown!]]''. It was posted on [[Emily Cook]]'s [[Twitter]] account after the conclusion of the online watch-along of the episode. | '''''Dalek: Spoof Scenes''''' was a comedic short story written by [[Robert Shearman]].

The concept of Earth Reptiles waging a temporal conflict against [[Gallifrey]] was previously joked about in ''[[The Taking of Planet 5 (novel)|The Taking of Planet 5]]''; in the novel, the [[Eighth Doctor]] jokes that [[the Enemy]] that waged the [[War in Heaven]] against the Time Lords could simply be "[[87th century|eighty-seventh-century]] Earth Reptiles". | ||

* In reality, Shearman did have to write an alternative version of the episode, featuring a different alien race as the enemy in the Time War, as it was unclear whether a deal would be reached to license the Daleks from [[Terry Nation]]'s estate. However, this script did not feature a classic ''Doctor Who'' monster, but a cyborg "future human", an original creation suggested by [[Russell T Davies]]. This concept and design were subsequently reused as the [[Toclafane]] in ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]''.
