A Gold Dalek was first-in-command of the Daleks during the occupation of Earth in 2150. (TV: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. [+]Loading...["Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)"])
The Dalek Survival Guide identified athis Gold Chief Dalek as leader of the Dalek Invasion Force in the version of history "B" encountered by the moustache-sporting Doctor relative to the version of history "A" visited by the clean-shaven, long-haired First Doctor. (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide [+]Loading...["Dalek Survival Guide (novel)"]') In the "A" history, the Dalek Earthforce was led by the Black Dalek as Supreme Controller, operating the Dalek Supreme Type 1 casing, and supported by a black-and-silver Dalek saucer commander. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth [+]Loading...["The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)"]) Incidentally, another Gold Chief Dalek, operating the Dalek Supreme Type 3 casing, led the Dalek Invasion Force Type 3 with the support of a Black Dalek in the altered version of history "C" created by the Daleks. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"], PROSE: Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks (novelisation)"])
Characteristics[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Gold Dalek had a casing mostly coloured golden, consisting of the dome section, middle section and lower section. As with all Daleks on Earth, it sported a tall black fender at the bottom of the lower section, two cone-shaped luminosity dischargers which stood atop the dome and flashed when the Dalek spoke, coloured gold like its body, alongside mostly silver accessories; the neck rings which supported its black neck grille, slats across the middle section, middle section bands atop and below the arm sockets, and the eyestalk that connected the eye lens, which appeared as a shining white disc at the face of a black ball, to the dome's pivot, supported by five light blue discs. The left and right arms of the middle section were a gunstick and suction cup manipulator arm respectively. The sense globes in the Gold Dalek's lower section were coloured black.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Aboard the Dalek spaceship, the Gold Dalek ordered the Red Dalek to pursue a van which was ultimately destroyed, not realising that Wyler and Susan had escaped. Soon after, the spaceship landed in Bedfordshire, where human slaves were made to mine to further the Daleks' goal to extract the magnetic core of the Earth, which would allow them to pilot the planet like a giant spaceship; having found a fracture in the Earth's crust, the Daleks intended to drop a explosive device through the fracture, which would cause the metallic core to burst out and plunge towards the Sun, killing all humans in the area.
Ultimately, the Black Dalek reported that the Earth's outer core had been penetrated and so oversaw preparations for the explosive capsule with the Red Dalek and the Gold Dalek. Informed by the Red Dalek that Dr. Who, the "rebel leader", had been captured, the Gold Dalek gave the order to position the capsule. The Black Dalek presented Dr. Who, the "rebel leader" who had been captured along with Susan and Wyler, to the Gold Dalek, who intended to exterminate him.

- A Dalek resembling this Gold Dalek is one of two that feature in the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
- The Gold Dalek seen in TV: Robots Ad [+]Loading...["Robots Ad (TV story)"] originated as a fan prop based on this specific Gold Dalek, although for its appearance in the short, it had been given smaller luminosity dischargers more in line with the television standard.
