Talk:Victory of the Daleks (TV story)

Is there a link for the leaked audio clip? I wouldn't mind listening to it.

Wrong statement

Actually it is the second longest gap: the first being Day of the Daleks wich was a five years gap.

This is the statement to which the above anon poster referred:

• Discounting their flashback cameo in DW: The Waters of Mars, this is the longest gap between Dalek stories in the New Series, at almost two years since Journey's End. It is also the first standalone Dalek episode since DW: Dalek in 2005 and the Dalek appears to be an earlier model, using grey armour that was last seen in Remembrance of the Daleks.

I have now removed it, because it's such a nebulous claim. If you ignore that there were Daleks in TWOM, and if you ignore the fact that thre was no series in 2009, then it's a 21-month gap. But those "ifs" are very iffy indeed. From a production standpoint, the 2009 specials are a part of series 4, so there's two Dalek appearances in the latter part of series 4, and there's one here at the top of series 5. That's not at all that big a deal. The other way of looking at it, is that there are Daleks in every series of BBC Wales DW. Very many people would not consider there to be any sort of gap in Dalek stories in 2005 DW, and would counter with the point that the Daleks have been used more frequently now than at any point in DW history.

As for the second sentence, it's not clear at all what it is meant. What does "standalone Dalek story" mean? And there are two Dalek models in the trailer, anyway — possibly three. So who knows what that sentence means. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 18:50, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure by "standalone" they mean the first Dalek story since "Dalek" that consists of one episode The b-Unit's167th Drophyd 13:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
