Myths
to be added
Filming Locations
- Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, Surrey, England, UK
Plot Holes, Errors and Mistakes
- When the van rams through the ranks of blue/silver Daleks in the street, some of those knocked flying and destroyed are clearly seen to be completely empty casings.
- Wires are visible on the Dalek saucer in almost all shots of it flying.
- When the red Dalek falls down the shaft, there is a very clear shot of its base with three small furniture casters (though it must be a dummy, as there is no hole for the operator's feet to protrude).
- Observing the Dalek saucer, the Doctor notes that it seems to be landing in the vicinity of Sloane Square. There is then a lengthy shot in which it is shown to be continuing in level flight for what must be several miles over London (with no apparent intention of landing) before we finally get a close-up of it descending.
- The Dalek mine is set in Bedfordshire. We see the encampment with high mountains beyond. Bedfordshire is a county of low rolling hills, with virtually no rock.
- The Dalek in the Thames does not flash its lights when addressing the Robomen. (The casing did not contain an operator, and therefore no one to operate the lights.)
Continuity
- Dr Who mentions some basic plot from Dr. Who and the Daleks.
- Some of the Dalek colours are seen repeated in DW: Day of the Daleks (there's a gold one in charge), and also EDA: War of the Daleks (gives a run down of what all colour Daleks do).
- The Daleks count in units called Rels, this would be used once more in DW: Doomsday (by the Daleks).
- A Red Dalek appears in DW: The Stolen Earth and Journey's End.
