'''We are the Daleks!''' was a short story original to the [[1973 (releases)|1973]] ''[[Doctor Who Special (1973)|Doctor Who Special]]''. Eight years after ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'' and two years before ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'', it saw Dalek creator [[Terry Nation]] giving yet another possible account of [[Creation of the Daleks|the Daleks' origin]] which has little in common with any other version of Dalek history. The story depicted [[Ameron]] as the Daleks' home planet, rather than the familiar [[Skaro]], and revolved around the revelation that the Daleks evolved from [[human]]s artificially transplanted to the planet by the [[Halldon]]s as part of an experiment (hence the title).

* Neither the Doctor nor his companions (who remain in the TARDIS) are identified in this story.
* This was the second ''[[Doctor Who]]'' short story to be published in ''[[Radio Times]]''. The next and currently last would be ''[[Birth of a Renegade]]''; however, ''Radio Times'' have gone on to publish ''Doctor Who'' comic strip stories.

* Neither the Doctor nor his companions (who remain in the TARDIS) are identified in this story. However, since it was published at around the time that ''[[The Three Doctors]]'' was broadcast, it is probably the [[Third Doctor]]. The only times that he had more than one companion was when he travelled with [[Jo Grant]] and [[Liz Shaw]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Wages of Sin]]'') and with Jo and [[Mike Yates]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Speed of Flight]]''). Since it is implied that Jo and Mike have a series of adventures with the Doctor, it is more likely the latter pairing.
