'''''Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.''''' was the second and final theatrical feature film based on ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was adapted from the television serial ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''. It stars [[Peter Cushing]] as a human scientist named "[[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Dr. Who]]", and also featured [[Roberta Tovey]] reprising her role of [[Susan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Susan]]. This was also [[Bernard Cribbins]]' first ''Doctor Who''-related role. Forty-one years later, he would be cast as [[Wilfred Mott]] in the [[BBC Wales]] series.

Policeman [[Tom Campbell]] stumbles into ''[[TARDIS (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Tardis]]'' on a normal day and ends up being taken to [[2150]] A.D. by [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Dr. Who]]. In the future, [[Earth]] seems to be deserted, but the group soon finds out that the world is controlled by the evil [[Dalek]]s. The human survivors hide, lest they be turned into Robomen. The Doctor teams up with the survivors to take down the Daleks.

* [[Director]] - [[Gordon Flemyng]]

== Story notes ==

* Sugar Puffs contributed to the budget of this film, and as a result there is product placement throughout the movie.

* A third film, based on [[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' and titled ''Daleks vs. Mechons'', was filmed but subsequently lost in a fire. A trailer was discovered in the basement of a church in northern England in 2009. ''The supposed "trailer" was fan-made, as the graphics were too advanced for circa 1967. Producer Milton Subotsky claimed that a third film was planned based on The Chase, but there is no contemporary evidence to support this. BBC documentation exists which suggests that the arrangement with Subotsky was for two films only, and no negotiations for a third film ever took place.''

* The Dalek saucer is more technological advanced than the original.

* Dr. Who, Tom, Louise and Susan journey to the mine in different ways. Dr. Who goes with [[David (Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)‏‎|David]], Susan travels with [[Dortmun]], and Tom Campbell and Louise use a Dalek ship. In the TV version, the Doctor and Susan go with [[David Campbell]], Barbara travels with Dortmun and Ian uses the Dalek ship.

* The character of [[Larry Madison]] is absent, the original subplot of the character going to Bedfordshire to locate his missing [[Phil Madison|brother]] is eliminated.

* Released in Australia in [[2001 (releases)|2001]] by Universal/Studio Canal as a double release with ''Dr. Who and the Daleks''. and 1995 ''[[Dalekmania (documentary)|Dalekmania]]'' documentary in the 'Doctor Who and the Daleks...' boxset.

* Released in US in 2001 by Anchor Bay as a single disc and as a double release with ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|Dr. Who and the Daleks]]''. and 1995 ''Dalekmania'' documentary in 'The Doctor Who Movie Collection' boxset.

== Novelisations ==

No official novelisation of the screenplay was ever published; however, the original teleplay, ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', was eventually novelised by [[Terrance Dicks]] in [[1977 (releases)|1977]] as ''[[Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''. It should be noted that this novelization homages the film by depicting its incarnation of the Dalek flying saucer on its cover.
