A nostalgic look back at the making of the 1960's Dalek movies ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks|Dr Who & The Daleks]]'' and ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.|Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150A.D.]]'' which starred [[Peter Cushing]] as [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Dr Who]], with [[Roy Castle]], [[Bernard Cribbins]], [[Ray Brooks]], [[Jennie Linden]], [[Jill Curzon]], [[Barrie Ingham]] and [[Roberta Tovey]]. Having wowed TV audiences since their original appearance in 1963, the dreaded [[Dalek]]s first blasted their way onto the cinema screen in the summer of 1965 in glorious [[technicolour]] and [[Techniscope]]. Today the films are still a firm favourite with children of all ages on TV and video.
