talking of the human / dalek hybred, if they had time lord DNA as well why didn't they all regenerate when the daleks killed them?

you've erased the wrong quote box Rolling Eyes

They probably didn't have enough timelord DNA.


your probably right though, not enough DNA

is it me or are daleks really thick?


Well it took them all that time to learn how to fly didn't it (I seem to recall stairs were a problem back in the day)?

Yes, they couldn't fly until 1988.

They could fly even before then - it was referenced in several of the Hartnell/Troughton stories. However, the first time they were seen flying was in Remembrance of the Daleks when the Doctor, trapped at the top of a flight of stairs, watched in horror as a Dalek slowly hovered towards him, chanting that he was an enemy of the Daleks and would be exterminated...

Sylvester McCoy made a comment about how it was done on Doctor Who Confidential - essentially one of the hemispheres on the Dalek's side and the base had had a pole thrust through them, so that it could be crudely guided up the stairs. The glow underneath was composited on later.

Tut tut... Wink Flying Daleks were first seen in Revelation of the Daleks in 1985 - well, okay, one hovered, but I think it's safe to say it could have flown about a bit if it wanted to. Otherwise they could only go "Dalek goes up. Dalek goes down. Dalek goes up..."

Odd touches in the episode: the one Dalek looking over its 'shoulder' when it wanted to conspire with the other, and the Doctor's 'First floor perfumery' quote on exiting the lift.

I don't get this. The human/darlek hybreds were asking why they should shoot the Doctor and a Dalek (Jest?) says 'Daleks do not question they obey.'

If that is the case how come when Sec became half human and was telling the Doctor of his plans for a more compasonate dalek race the other three daleks started to question his motives

I thought Daleks didn't question, they just obeyed Wink

Because Dalek Sec's attitude changed. He no longer had the mindset of a Dalek. He had ideas beyond killing which is against the Dalek's programming,

I loved that shot. I thought it was absolutely hillarious.

Me too. Although it wasn't exactly odd. They can't have people listening in/

It just reminded me of Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough!
