* [[David Graham]], one of the original Dalek voice actors, never officially voiced the Dalek Emperor.

* In an earlier draft of [[Steven Moffat]]'s script for ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', the Dalek leader was called simply "the Dalek Prime" before becoming the [[Prime Minister of the Daleks]]. Although the final design of the Prime Minister presented a more tubular look, the draft also called for the visible mutant to inhabit a glass ''sphere'' (described in similar terms to the [[big globey thing]] in ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]''), which would have echoed the bulbous casing design of the Dalek Prime from [[The Daleks (comic series)|the ''Daleks'' comics]] and [[John Peel]]'s ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]''.

* Most of the original stories of the 1970s [[Dalek annual]]s did not feature the Emperor directly, outside of reprints of [[The Daleks (series)|1960s TV21 ''Daleks'' comic stories]]. However, ''[[Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1979]]'' did contain a narrative game which confirmed the Golden Emperor as the leader of the Daleks during the conflict between the Dalek Empire and the [[Anti-Dalek Force]] that formed the narrative backbone of these annuals. This game, ''[[Race to the Golden Emperor (game)|Race to the Golden Emperor]]'', featured the Emperor having become stranded on an island on an uninhabited planet following a space battle between his "special squad" and ADF forces. Players could play either as Daleks attempting to extract their leader from these hostile conditions, or as the ADF agents trying to take the Emperor prisoner before the Daleks can get him back. | |||
* Long before the [[Sixth Doctor]] suggested that [[Davros]] could become Emperor of the Daleks in ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'', the original second volume of ''[[The Doctor Who Programme Guide]]'' (1981) suggested that [[Emperor Type I|the Emperor]] seen in ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' was not only the "last Emperor Dalek", indicating the existence of a predecessor, but also "the final incarnation" of Davros before his Daleks were usurped by the [[Humanised Dalek]]s created by the [[Second Doctor]]. | |||
* ''[[The Terrestrial Index]]'' (1991), which stated that the [[Dalek Civil War]] was in fact the [[Final End]] of the Daleks, continued the claim that the ''Evil'' Emperor was the final form of Davros, achieved by self-inflicted [[mutation]]s long following the so-called [[destruction of Skaro]]. Incidentally, ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]'' would depict an Emperor Davros now with elements of ''The Evil of the Daleks'' casing. | |||
* The [[Golden Emperor]] appeared in an additional episode of ''[[The Dalek Chronicles (comic series)|The Dalek Chronicles]]'', ''[[Deadline to Doomsday (comic story)|Deadline to Doomsday]]'', a ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' back-up comic and follow-up to ''[[Return of the Elders (comic story)|Return of the Elders]]'' which was under production with [[Ron Turner]], the artist of the original [[TV Century 21]]'s ''The Dalek Chronicles'', when the artist passed away. The first two pages, with no text or header art, was printed in the end of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 276|276]] among an article remembering Turner. Years later, the comic was completed and printed in the fan magazine ''[[Vworp Vworp!]]''<nowiki/>'s third issue. | |||
* ''[[The Discontinuity Guide]]'' claims that, whilst more [[Dalek War Machine|primitive Daleks]] remained underground, advanced Daleks took to space to escape the Thal's [[neutron bomb]]; after their fellows were [[Thal-Dalek battle|wiped out]] 500 years later, the advanced Daleks returned to Skaro before being embroiled in the [[Dalek Civil War]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part One''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref> The suggestion is made that, whilst undergoing [[interrogation]] during his [[Genesis Incident|incursion into Dalek history]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] had told [[Davros]] of the [[Human Factor Incident]], which involved the Emperor, and that was only due to the Doctor's intervention that a new timeline was created in which Davros survived his apparent death at the hands of the Daleks, the Doctor's words about them making him paranoid enough to activate a [[force field]] in his [[chair]]; as a result, the events perceived by the Doctor before his incursion would now unfold vastly differently if at all. Having been made aware that the Daleks were led by an Emperor, the Dalek creator was inspired to later name himself [[Davros' casing|Emperor]] of the [[Imperial Dalek]]s.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory2.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part Two''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref> | |||
* In the non-narrative book ''[[The Dalek Handbook]]'', it is said that, after the Emperor survived the Great Civil War despite his apparent demise in ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'', he subsequently refocusing his strategies on time manipulation. | |||
