Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. Cinema Trailer

Cinema trailer for the Amicus/Aaru production of "Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D." released in 1966 starring Peter Cushing.

Fun Facts:
This film was one of the first Doctor Who releases on VHS/Betamax in the very early 1980s alongside the first film "Dr. Who and the Daleks" through Thorn EMI Home Video.

This trailer is sourced from the "Dalekmania" documentary tape form 1995.

This film was shown a few times on Australia's pay tv platform Foxtel - it has since not been seen since around 2004.

This film was shot at Shepperton Studios alongside the James Bond film "Casino Royale". "Casino Royale" wasn't released until the following year.

This film did not do so well at the box office as it's previous film "Dr. Who and the Daleks" and thus a 3rd film based on the BBC TV Doctor Who story "The Chase" or "Dr. Who's Greatest Adventure" was scrapped.

This film was one of the first "product placement" films from Great Britain. Sugar Puffs cereal put up partial funding in return for film advertising (it's funny seeing wall ads for the cereal in a decaying London in the year 2150) and cross promotional events.

Heh, remember seeing this loads of times on BBC TV in the early 80s. On a Summer Saturday morning, they showed this and loads of other old films after the shortened kids programme finished. I used to dismiss them as 'old crap', but now wish I had watched them and appreciated them then. You don't see this stuff on TV any more.

Funny how the Dalek ship looks like a mutated yellow submarine :)
