    Dalekmania

    With the release of Dr Who and the Daleks and the Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 AD in 4k as well as special showings in the cinema.

    This documentary from 1995 celebrated the Dalek movies from Amicus films.

    Dedicated to Peter Cushing and Roy Castle. With the non appearance of Bernard Cribbins.

    It was left to Roberta Tovey who played granddaughter Susan to do more of the heavy lifting. There were interviews with other actors such as Barrie Ingham as well as an archive interview with Terry Nation.

    This were unofficial Doctor Who films based on Nation's BBC scripts. It was not licenced by the BBC. Amicus were clearly taking advantage of the Dalekmania of the time.

    So Doctor Who is an earth scientist who built a Tardis. Nation found Cushing too nice and cuddly as Doctor Who. Lacking the irascibility of William Hartnell.

    There were nice anecdotes from Tovey who was barely a teenager when the first Dalek film was released. She was clearly dazzled by the huge sets.

    The first movie was a big hit and the second Dalek movie went into production with product placement funding from Sugar Puffs. That was not such a big hit.

    This documentary originally released on video looked a bit cheap. There were contributors from Doctor Who magazine who were not even born at the time of Dalekmania.

    It is for Doctor Who fans and at least it provides more background information for these unofficial movies.
