How about their own series - 'The Only Way is Skaro' ?

A Skaro based story with Davros is probably overdue now.

I was thinking about the Daleks in bed last night


It's the bumps, isn't it?

I feel it in my Plunger
I feel it in my Bumps
Death is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go,
So you will obey me
Come on and let me Exterminate You

You know I'll Kill you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning,
There will be an end
'cause on your death you can depend



So we can have an ethically unsound scientist operate on the Daleks so that they sing all the time instead of speaking and the next Dalek story can then be a Musical.

They definitely need to scale down. The best Dalek episodes are the ones where they are a real threat. Claustrophobic and deadly, like the episode "Dalek".

Destroying millions of Daleks per episode reduces their threat level to laughable.

I agree, Destroying millions of Daleks every now and then is good, It lets us know what the Doctor can do, but after the power demonstrated by a single Dalek in "Dalek" ( I really wish we had more stories from Rob Shearman.) It cheapens them to regularly take out large numbers and disregards the obvious tactical abilities of each individual Dalek.


Still, I like to see them in large numbers, whether being destroyed or not, and I think a new Dalek Civil War would allow for that without disempowering them...

Blow them up in their millions but have them doing it to each other and have the internal division that stems from their fascistic tendencies be the mechanism by which the Doctor defeats them

Joking apart. How about the Doctor intervening between the Daleks and some other alien race - and trying to prevent the war? The alien race are saved and the Daleks carry on (as they do!)
It'd be better than the usual 'destroy the universe' claptrap! We've seen the 'End of the Universe' so many times - or 'Taking over the Universe' - it's a bit boring now!
Whatever happens - the Daleks will carry on....as will the Doctor!

How about the Doctor saving the Daleks from an alien invasion of Skaro. That would be a nice twist.

What I'd LOVE and said on here before is to explore Davros before he became so injured and scarred. Let's meet the scientist before he became the maniac.

It would be an awesome 2 parter with the Doctor realising who he is as the cliffhanger to part 1.

Please make it happen!!!

There's a multipart Big Finish serial covering that territory, which is actually quite good, though it's told without the Doctor.

I enjoyed the Big Finish one but they couldn't really do a Doctor Who episode without the Doctor and I can't really see how they could use the Doctor in a story about a pre-Dalek Davros without Davros finding out about the Doctor and, therefore, compromising the fact that he didn't know about him in Genesis.

Oh no I want the Doctor in it. As for the compromising part....just throw in a bit of timey wimey BS! It's just a bit of fun...I'm sure they could get around it somehow.

Otherwise make is Doctor lite like in Blink.

I just feel it in my gut there's a great 2 parter story to be had here.

I disagree that you couldn't do an episode without the Doctor, there is a precedent for it that goes right back to 1965 (Mission To The Unknown).

But you're spot on with the Davros backstory business...

Everything before Genesis was written over so from the Daleks' perspective their interactions with the first three Doctors didn't happen exactly as we saw them.

Throwing in a few audios for good measure (You can take em or leave em unless anyone can point out any major contradictions with the new series in them), I think this is pretty much the Dalek chronology that still stands...

AUDIO: “I, Davros” series
Genesis Of The Daleks
AUDIO: Lucie Miller/To The Death (8th Doctor)
Destiny Of The Daleks
AUDIO: Enemy Of The Daleks (7th Doctor)
Resurrection Of The Daleks
AUDIO: Davros
Revelation Of The Daleks
AUDIO: The Davros Mission
AUDIO: The Juggernauts (6th Doctor)
(COMIC: Emperor Of The Daleks)
Remembrance Of The Daleks

The Night Of The Doctor (for continuity's sake)
The Last Day/The Day Of The Doctor

Dalek
The Long Game/Bad Wolf/The Parting Of The Ways
Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday
Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks
The Stolen Earth/ Journey’s End
Victory Of The Daleks

(GAME: City Of The Daleks)
The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang
Asylum Of The Daleks
The Time Of The Doctor

Moff missed a trick with Amy leaving. Instead of over using the Angels and having her live to a ripe old age he should have had her exterminated by the Dalek's in the pre-titles sequence. Massive shock to everyone and the Daleks are shown to be scary and powerful, all in 3-5 minutes. The main episode would then have been the Doctor & Rory solving whatever foul timey wimey scheme the Daleks had made, with Rory saving the day by sacrificing himself ala Adric in Earthshock as he couldn't bear to be without Amy.

Next time the Doctor meets the Daleks he's even more annoyed with them as he killed Amy and forced Rory to kill himself to save the World, all the while the fans are like "those Dalek's are evil bastards arn't they?"

Oh how I'd love to stick a Dalek on Big Brother or I'm a Celebrity... and let it exterminate till its little heart is content. Its about time we got a chance to root for the Daleks!

I was thinking that!

How about adverts?

Radiation Poisoning? Eight out of Ten Daleks prefer it.

Daz Dalek Doorstep challenge?

Tesco-Every Little Extermination Helps......

I don't understand, when was Genesis written over?

If you mean the Time War, I think Genesis was essentially the start of the Time War. No reason to assume that the Daleks reversed that, though. I always got the impression that their development was delayed but not stopped. Daleks are a bit like cockroaches. It's almost impossible to stamp them out completely!

If you mean Clara and the GI, there's no reason to assume that Genesis turned out any differently due to their actions.

If you mean the universe reboot after the TARDIS exploded, I thought the assumption was that the Universe was put back pretty much the way it was.

I'd like to see a new dalek shell; maybe a War of the Worlds tripod type device.

Just something new and sinister to house the mutant within, perhaps for specific missions/purposes.

It wasn't, I said eveything "before Genesis" was written over ...

Genesis is set before the Dalek stories of Doctors 1, 2 and 3 but after the events of Genesis that future is altered...

If you mean the Time War, I think Genesis was essentially the start of the Time War. No reason to assume that the Daleks reversed that, though. I always got the impression that their development was delayed but not stopped. Daleks are a bit like cockroaches. It's almost impossible to stamp them out completely!
Exactly, this is part of what I'm saying.

If you mean the universe reboot after the TARDIS exploded, I thought the assumption was that the Universe was put back pretty much the way it was.
It's nothing to do with either of these, It's to do with the Dalek stories from Genesis onwards not fitting with some of the older ones.
