The Daleks in Colour was a colourised 75-minute re-cut and updated edition of The Daleks, the second serial of season 1 of Doctor Who.
This new edition was broadcast as part of the 60th Anniversary of the show and was subsequently added alongside its 7-part black-and-white counterpart on BBC iPlayer as part of the Whoniverse roster of material.
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
The TARDIS has brought the travellers to the planet Skaro where they meet two indigenous races — the Daleks, malicious mutant creatures encased in armoured travel machines, and the Thals, beautiful humanoids with pacifist principles. They convince the Thals of the need to fight for their own survival.
Joining forces with them and braving Skaro's many dangers, they launch a two-pronged attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks are all killed when, during the course of the fighting, their power supply is cut off.

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
Culture[[edit] | [edit source]]
Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The creatures inside the Dalek armours cannot survive for very long outside their protective casings, indicating their casings employ crucial life support systems.
- The Daleks use a paralysing ray against Ian Chesterton, which affects the mobility in his legs.
- After some of their own have been poisoned by the Thal anti-radiation drug, the Daleks determine their race need radiation.
Skaro[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor reflects that "the planet is dead, totally dead".
- A good rain for crops only comes every four or five years.
Thals[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Antodus mentions Amezus, one of the members from their previous expedition.
Foods and beverages[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Ian and Barbara eat bacon and eggs in a sort of freeze-dried form from the TARDIS food machine.
The Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor has a pair of reading glasses he uses to examine written and illustrated works.
- The Doctor has knowledge of the star systems on an astrological chart belonging to the Thals.
Technology[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor's TARDIS uses mercury as a fluid.
- The Doctor calls the radiation measuring equipment in the city "advanced". The equipment includes something that resembles a seismograph and a dial with the word DANGER.
- Daleks draw static electricity from the metal floors.
- The Doctor tells Ian a neutron bomb destroys life. The Daleks plan to launch another neutron bomb but abandon the idea as it takes too long.
- Daleks can create food using synthetic sunlight.
- The Doctor compares the TARDIS food machine process of producing different flavours to combining primary colours.
Illnesses[[edit] | [edit source]]
Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The broadcast on BBC Four was opened by the Whoniverse ident in its televised debut and was followed by the 2023 re-release of An Adventure in Space and Time [+]Loading...["An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)"].
- David Graham reprised his role as a Dalek voice actor, providing additional lines of dialogue alongside Nicholas Briggs. [6]
Deviations from the original serial[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Rels, the Dalek unit of time, are used by the Daleks when counting down the detonation of the neutron bomb.
- Updated visual effects are used for the Dalek ray blast.
- Visual effects are used to show the TARDIS materialising and dematerialising.
- The reprise from An Unearthly Child and the cliffhanger leading into The Edge of Destruction have been removed.
- Significant changes are made to the soundtrack, incorporating parts of Tristram Cary's score for The Daleks' Master Plan, along with newly-composed music by Mark Ayres.
- Mentions of Dals have been removed from the dialogue, and sentence mixing is used to update references to the Daleks' ancestry; in the Doctor's interrogation when the Daleks explain their origins, the phrase "our Dalek forefathers" is edited to say "our Kaled forefathers".
- Several flashbacks to earlier moments in the story have been added.
- Hartnell's flubbing of the line "It's possible that they may have been anti-radiation gloves… drugs" is corrected so that he says "anti-radiation drugs".
- The Cloister Bell is added when the TARDIS fails to take off.
- Inserted the Dalek catchphrase "Exterminate!", which is only common in later stories.
