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)

Bloody hell. This sounds even worse than Catherine Tate

Having taken a look at the trailer after Eleventh Hour in slow motion, I'm not sure the pilot of the Plane flying towards the screen is human. Either that, or it's a rather strange space helmet...

Another wrong statement is "the Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is the same sort as those from DW: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways and DW: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End"

The Saucers seen in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End were different than the ones seen in Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways, though they were similar. Furthermore, the saucer seen in the trailers is seen to have more weapons on the top half, while it has a strange disc firing a blue ray not present on any other models on the underside. A more appropriate statement would be "The Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is similar to those from Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways" as it is NOT the same.

Pictures

The silver Dalek was fan made and the black Dalek has no relation to this story whatsoever.

Since the new looking daleks(White,Blue,Yellow,Red) look super new while some keep their Russel look should we say these daleks my have a higher rank than the normal daleks?-207.241.247.1 16:14, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Daleks and Radio Times

The new issues of the Radio Times have different images on them. They have the red, blue and yellow Daleks. apparently the blue and red are produced in the same amount but less of yellow was produced, possibly showing bias towards Labour and Conservatives.

I also heard, although have no rock solid source, that the new Dalek colours are just so that the BBC can get more money from different colour toys. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 15:19, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

More Dating Issues?

I may be jumping the gun a bit, since the episode doesn't even air until tomorrow evening, but I'm sure the trailer shown after the repeat airing of "The Beast Below" tonight (16th April 2010) featured another one of these 'Production errors/dating issues' (like Rory's ID Card and Amy's age). Over Churchill's Left shoulder (to the viewer's right), there was a portrait of Queen Elizabeth wearing her crown - She wasn't Queen until 1952 and didn't have her coronation until '53. Twelve years after this episode. Look out for it tomorrow. Bet I'm shown to be wrong now I've written this! 86.134.188.188 21:15, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure it isn't a young Queen Mother ? The other photo is definately George V1 86.26.137.154 07:10, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

It's Official

Something is messing with the Timeline. Could factor into the ID Badge crisis?Excalibur-117 18:12, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

No it's not anything to do with the ID Badge because Steven Moffat confirmed that was a genuine mistake of props with the date on that badge. The website to hear the interview is on the Eleventh Hour story page under story notes. -- Michael Downey 18:14, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I heard about that. Still, the timelines being messed with, we should look out for that stuff in later episodes, no?. Excalibur-117 18:21, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh Yes I totally agree time things will crop up but we do need to be aware of what is genuine and what is a mistake :). -- Michael Downey 18:23, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed.Excalibur-117 18:24, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Last two episodes line

In the article is the line "This could mean that the Daleks do not feature in the last two episodes.". Don't be absurd. They don't spend a lot of money on new Dalek models and props not to use them. It's like saying "The Doctor can regenerate, therefore this could mean Matt Smith does not feature in the last two episodes". You can't say something either way without proper sourcing. Either there's a source that they will be, or a source that they won't, or it's pure pointless speculation in a factual article. 92.21.63.165 18:45, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

• I'm sitting watching Doctor Who Confidential, and Stephen Moffet said that thinks those Daleks will be important in a future episode of Doctor Who, but that he doesn't know when. Unless he's bluffing, I doubt the Daleks will be in the finale. Mc hammark 18:51, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
