'''''Resurrection of the Daleks''''' was the fourth serial of [[season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was the final regular appearance of [[Janet Fielding]] as [[Tegan Jovanka]], who left the [[Fifth Doctor]] for the second time.

[[Gustave Lytton|Lytton]] makes his debut and, strangely for villains of the time, survives with no ill effects. | '''''Resurrection of the Daleks''''' was the fourth serial of [[season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

A group of futuristic humanoids are running down [[Shad Thames]] in 1984. As they attempt to escape, they are gunned down by two policemen led by [[Commander]] [[Lytton]] in the uniform of an inspector. Two of the humanoids, [[Galloway]] and Quartermaster [[Sergeant]] [[Stien]], escape into the adjacent wharf where a time corridor is situated. Galloway is killed by a [[Dalek Trooper]], leaving Stien alone. Lytton transports back to his battle cruiser and prepares to attack a [[prison]] [[space station]]. Its only prisoner is [[Davros]], the creator of the [[Dalek]]s. | A group of futuristic humanoids are running down [[Shad Thames]] in 1984.

Meanwhile, [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] are being dragged down a [[time corridor]] in the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], shortly after their departure from [[Frontios]].

On the prison ship, | On the prison ship, [[Grey Dalek|Dalek]] [[Dalek drone|Drones]] attack, trying a direct frontal assault on the outside of the station airlock with poor results. The station crew, led by Dr [[Styles]] and [[Lieutenant|Lt.]] [[Mercer]], fight back in force. Lytton persuades the [[Black Dalek Leader|Supreme Dalek]] to use poisonous gas to dispose of the crew. This proves a success and the Daleks have little trouble taking over the station. Following orders, Watch Officer [[Fabian Osborn|Osborn]] tries to destroy Davros, first with a non-functional automated system, then in person. However, Lytton and an engineer break into the cell and kill Osborn before she can complete her mission. They then release Davros from his cryogenic imprisonment. | ||
The Doctor and his friends have by now met a traumatised Stien. He joins them in returning to the warehouse to hunt for the time corridor. While the others are distracted, Turlough vanishes. While searching for him, the Doctor, Tegan and Stien meet a military bomb disposal squad, led by [[Colonel]] [[Archer (Resurrection of the Daleks)|Archer]], who were called in after builders converting the warehouse into flats uncovered what they believed were unexploded bombs. Turlough has ended up on the Dalek ship after having stumbled into the time corridor. | The Doctor and his friends have by now met a traumatised Stien.

The Doctor confronts Davros in the lab. His chance to kill him is lost when Stien's conditioning reasserts itself long enough to let Lytton's troops kill Lt. Mercer.

The TARDIS arrives and the Doctor returns through the time corridor. He now knows the "unexploded bombs" discovered earlier are canisters of the Movellan virus. He opens a canister that Turlough and Tegan have brought into the TARDIS. He places it behind the Daleks, who all start to die. | ||
Lytton has escaped and gleefully watches the Daleks' demise. He swaps his Dalek trooper uniform for that of a policeman and joins his two fellow "bobbies" on their next vigil. Back on the space station with the Imperial Daleks defeated, Davros prepares an escape pod to flee from the station, but the Movellan virus attacks him as well. | Lytton has escaped and gleefully watches the Daleks' demise.

Suddenly, the Supreme Dalek appears on the TARDIS scanner and threatens the Doctor, claiming the Daleks have duplicates of prominent humans all over Earth which makes it just a matter of time before Earth falls. The Doctor, however, states that the duplicates are not stable and will break free of Dalek control, just as Stein has. | ||

* The story was originally to have been directed by [[Peter Grimwade]]. When the story was postponed, Grimwade took members of the production team out to dinner, but did not invite [[John Nathan-Turner]] because he had intended to take Nathan-Turner out separately. However, Nathan-Turner felt slighted by the omission and refused to allow Grimwade to direct the story when it was rescheduled for Season 21. [[Matthew Robinson]], who had never worked on the series before but had a "reputation as an action director", was used instead. However, [[Eric Saward]] had already promised Grimwade that he could provide a script for the season, so Grimwade was allowed to write the following story, ''[[Planet of Fire (TV story)|Planet of Fire]]''. | |||

[[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' had however featured a Dalek being taken to Gallifrey (though not surviving to report back what it had seen) and included a line saying that the Daleks had historically not been allowed to participate in the Gallifreyan war games because they "played too well" (possibly implying that, prior to them being banned, the Daleks had taken part in the games at least once at which point they "played too well"). | * The Daleks know of [[Gallifrey]] and want the Doctor's duplicate to assassinate the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]].

* [[Eric Saward]] hoped that this serial would do for the Daleks what [[Earthshock (TV story)|''Earthshock'']] did for the [[Cybermen]]. | |||
* [[Terry Nation]] green-lit the serial after being overwhelmed by the positive response to his first appearance at a convention in [[Chicago]]. | |||
* [[Roy Skelton]] was unable to provide the Dalek voices, so [[Matthew Robinson]] hired [[Royce Mills]] and [[Brian Miller (actor)|Brian Miller]]. | |||
* No new Dalek casings were constructed, apart from dummies for special effects work. Instead, [[Matthew Robinson]] had to contend with a motley assortment of components, most of which dated from the [[1960s]]; one top and one skirt section were survivors of the “goon” Daleks made for [[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|''Planet of the Daleks'']], while another bottom had been built in [[1978]] for display at exhibitions. In all, four Daleks were cobbled together for the serial. | |||
* At one point, [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Matthew Robinson]] had a heated, and very public, row, during which the producer castigated his director for discussing matters with [[Eric Saward]], and demanded that he refrain from conferring with a writer or script editor in the future. | |||
* The attack on the space station marked the show's first use of a motion-control rig. | |||
* [[Ian Levine]] provided the clips of past Doctors and companions. | |||
* [[Eric Saward]] included Davros in the story to alleviate the tedium of writing Dalek dialogue, something [[Terry Nation]] discovered when he created the character for ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]].'' | |||
* [[Matthew Robinson]] cast [[Terry Molloy]] because his background in radio meant that he had the vocal presence to play Davros. | |||
* The Supreme Dalek's role was originally filled by [[Dalek Emperor]]. [[Terry Nation]] objected to this because he disliked the character. | |||
* While the majority of the companions featured in the mind analysis sequence are represented via a clip from a television story featuring them, [[Katarina]] is instead represented by a publicity photo due to the fact that, at the time of ''Resurrection of the Daleks''{{'}} production, no television episodes featuring her existed within the BBC archives. | |||
