The Evil of the Daleks Reconstruction

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/cd/dalektin/
One of my earliest memories is of the climatic battle at the end of this story. It is such a bummer that this story was wiped by the beeb; but then again wiping it has certainly helped to give Evil of the Daleks a kind of mystique that otherwise it would have. It is also a great tribute to David Whittaker and has his usual carefree attitude to science (time travel using mirrors and static electricity and mind control via 'steam')There is a strange and rather pointless run around in episode one; perhaps it only seems pointless to us who listen to it now. In it's original TV context it probably made sense to spin the story out for as long as possible, which is why I think so many of these earlier episodes are so long. Pity only the second one survived extermination.

Cheers, you should check out my other uploads for more in the same vein. I am at the moment working on an upgraded version of this video. It will include the last 7 minutes of the 7th episode of The Evil of the Daleks. So watch this space and subscribe!

Too bad nobody actually has a TARDIS. :) Just go to the BBC and grab the episodes before they can be wiped and come back to announce "Missing Doctor Who episodes found!" :)

Grab "At last the 1948 show" too while you're at it.

Yeah, what you describe ties in with what I can remember (but I would have been either two or three at the time so hard to say how much I can remember). I can remember screaming hysterical Daleks and the foam. It was scarey and exhilirating at the same time; I think also I can remember a voice, probably the emperors, but I couldn't remember what he was saying. Until I listened to the audios years later.

Cheers. You ought to check out my other vids, esp the other Evil reconstruction and Reddy for Anything.

Yes, it does a superb job, especially with the use of the original audio.

BTW a disturbing aspect of the original "Evil," were the death throes of exterminated Daleks. The hapless Daleks would spin manically as lots of foam issued from their headless casings. Striking too was the dark, gloomy setting of the Dalek City, against which the bright flash of exploding Dalek turrets made a startling contrast.

Great homage to the finest Dr Who tale "in the history of the Universe."
