How each Doctor responds to the Daleks for the first time reveals something about them...
Pearl Mackie was announced as the new companion for Doctor Who Series 10 back in April, with a specially filmed clip broadcast during Match Of The Day's Fa Cup semi-final. Aside from befuddling Gary Lineker, the purpose of a trailer like this, as opposed to a press release or a lavish announcement programme, is to show a character in action, and there was really no better way to define the character of Bill Potts than to show how she acted in the face of the Daleks.

The Daleks are almost as old as the show itself and different Doctors respond to them in different ways. In some eras, Dalek stories have been an early fixture of a new Doctor’s run,...

We’re all too aware that this year is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, but 2013 is also the centenary of actor Peter Cushing. Most famous for his regular appearances in the Hammer Horror Films he also dabbled in Science Fiction with both appearances in Star Wars as the chiseled cheekboned ‘Grand Moff Tarkin’ and rather than just simply appearing in Doctor Who he went one better, portraying the Doctor, or rather ‘Dr. Who’ in a pair of big screen adaptations of ‘The Daleks’ and ‘The Dalek Invasion of Earth’. To celebrate both of these landmark birthdays Studio Canal is releasing the two movies ‘Dr. Who and the Daleks’ and ‘Dalek Invasion Earth 2150 Ad’ in glorious, newly restored high definition, with cinema releases to follow later in the year. The Blu Rays will feature higher picture and sound quality than ever before as well as new and exclusive special features.

As the latest series of Doctor Who got under way tonight on BBC1 and BBC America, a new study by a Cambridge researcher claims to have the answer.
Since Doctor Who first aired in 1963, the series has become internationally recognisable thanks to one of the most ridiculous space-creatures ever conceived; a master race of intergalactic pepperpots, armed with a sink plunger and an egg whisk, who are hellbent on conquering the universe.
For more than 45 years, the Doctor's archenemies have been striking fear into young viewers with their chilling war-cry of "Exterminate!".
Like the Time Lord himself, they have become an icon of British culture. Now, with the new season of Doctor Who upon us, a Cambridge University academic has turned his mind to...
