In the Dalek books of the 60's, the dome lights were to "expel surplus energy" or something. In reality, the reason they synch with dialogue is simply so the viewer knows which Dalek is speaking in a scene with two of the pepperpots having a "conversation". Especially important back in the days of mono sound and black and white 405 line TV (how did we survive?)

not a dalek story per se, but something from my childhood i have never forgotten. when i was very *very* young, i lived in a children's home called "the grange" in coventry (uk). the building was massive, standing 3 story's above ground and one below. the front entrance (which was rarely used) had a huge wooden door that must have weighed a good few kilos. the other side of the front door showed off a rather grand staircase and an equally grand entrance hall. somewhat surprisingly, there stood an entrance guard that was none other than a full sized dalek, complete with a hinged door at the rear that opened up to reveal enough room for a full sized adult with a small stool. sadly our dalek didnt have any wheels so we werent able to move it about. years later i found out that it had been used in a few of the doctor who episodes but had needed some repair after falling over, breaking the dome. and so was given to the children's home for some reason? the bbc had replaced the dome and put a hard wooden floor in so that no-one could get hurt should this thing fall over. and to be fair, the bloody thing frightened the life out of me the first time i saw it!!!

Th Kaled people were being affected by the radiation and chemical weapons used in their endless war with the Tharls. Davros original experiment was to take the mutation to its final form, as he believed the mutation was another form of evolution. The Daleks were the result of that experiment, and were considered to be a completely new species, not Kaled but evolved from their DNA. At the end of Genesis of the Daleks, the Daleks turned on Davros because he wasn't a Dalek. Davros kind of missed the whole genius bit in the evil genius thing with that one.

In America, PBS showed Doctor Who and they relied on pledge breaks to fund keeping the program on the air. 2 Huge competitors were Channel 12 and Channel 23 out of Philadelphia and New Jersey. During the breaks, the people who were talking about the show trying to get pledges, had little to no idea what was on the TV. They would read from cue cards or prompts to talk in American English about Doctor Who's foes, The Darleks. Trying to sound British and not having heard the word.

I know SIDRAT, but the Dalek time machine is just the Dalek time machine, end of story. {3} When I was a child, I thought they were called Garlics, but that was because I wasn't use to people with accents. My mother and I joked about it afterwards, 'cause it was still funny. {4} Let's be honest, this is a case of calling a spade a spade. It looks like an egg whisk, and that's just what you end up calling it because it's funny. We all know they didn't start out that way, though, except the plunger. That's iconic. {5} I mean, *of course* special Daleks are going to look different. They have their pomp and circumstance too! {6} People may think they're robots, but the Doctor has always corrected anyone in-universe who thought so. People just don't pay attention. {7} As I understood it, Terry Nation's agreement was that the show should USE the Daleks regularly, because contract negotiations are weird, sometimes. I think the wording is actually that there must be an episode *featuring* the Daleks. Featuring can be interpreted as 'There were Daleks on-screen for some reason.', so that covers any episode in which it wasn't a Dalek-centric episode. {8} Daleks don't NEED Davros as a spokesperson. It's just that, sometimes, you want someone to break up "TALKING LIKE THIS!" with a more eloquent speaker. Davros is the answer to that because Daleks and long speeches tend to get awkward, after a while. You don't want Tom Baker listening to a DALEK going on about the morality of releasing an unstoppable virus across the universe, as Davros did. {9} Their look was not based upon a pepperpot. That is what people equate them to - that and trashbins - after th fact. {10} And finally, Davros is not technically a Dalek, but the Daleks are all - in essence - Kaleds, like he is. Because he is a Kaled mutant and the Daleks are Kaled mutants, the Movellan virus had an effect on him, but not a total one, since he was able to escape in Resurrection of the Daleks. (It's that darned life support system he's got.) What's odd is that the virus has an effect on their poly-carbide armor, making one harken back to *another* virus that is very deadly and has had an effect on plastic (The Andromeda Strain).

However, I do have something to say about 6. The Red Supreme having a third light isn't the only Dalek to have one, so I believe that it is about identifying a higherarchy within the Daleks. In the short online animated series DALEKS, the emperor had 4 lights on its dome. So I think that it was something the Daleks adapted in the Time War as there are other Daleks within there that have multiple lights on the dome, such as the Time Controller Dalek (I believe also has three, don't quote me, may have two double check)

I am a Fan of Dr Who... have been since the William Hartnell era. (If you must know I am 67 at time of writing0. There is supposed to be what is considered the definitive History of the Daleks; but it is by no means the first. I remember getting a copy of a Paperback from a curiosity shop in Blackpool when a teenager that had a partial history of Skaro and the Daleks in particular. I won't bore you with the details; but one relative fact in that book was about the dome "Lights". As was revealed in Genesis of the Daleks; Davros "engineered" the fast mutation of the Kaled race to define the final mutated form of the race. It goes therefore without saying; that there were many stages of mutation. And obviously many iterations of "Equipment" developed. In that book; the author states that the Dome lights are in fact Excess Energy Dissipators. Early versions of the; as Davros revealed, Travel machine when encasing a mutant, didn't have the dissipators. and the mutants back then didn't have all their emotions removed. So when one of these Daleks got really angry; the build up of excess energy resulted in them literally exploding/// FX guys; that would be a one to see. As for the number of Dome lights... The Gold Emperor Dalek has been depicted as having from two to eight of them in various depictions. Some Supremes and Commanders have even had four. So two is not the standard by any means. As epicted in one episode of Sylvester McCoy's Doctor; he managed to make one self destruct just by getting it conflicted enough... so the dissipators may not be infallible. From one of their appearances it also became apparent that the dome lights have other functions too...As sensors. As for them flashing in time to the Dalek speaking... That book described that as purely coincidental. As a dalek is always angry and needs to dissipate excess energy; even when they f=talk. Hope this has clarified things a bit.

Davros is basically a Dalek. A Kelad scientist who hasn't made the full transition. Not the exact same thing, but close enough.

I like them too, they're a cool idea in my opinion, and I like how each color represents the purpose of each dalek. It would have been good if they'd at least had been given a chance to show that, even if they still go back to using the traditional daleks for most episodes.

People these days seem to forget that the Daleks are the Doctor's main arch-enemies, especially since the Master was introduced, particularly when he was brought into New-Who... Also, I think Doctor Who without the Daleks is kind of like Battlestar Galactica without the Cylons... (Hmm, speaking of Cylons (specifically the iconic ones from the original Battlestar Galactica series)... Wouldn't it be rather cool and unexpected if those Cylons just randomly appeared as guest villains after the Doctor initially mistakenly thinks he's dealing with Cybermen... only for the surprise twist reveal..? (In a regular episode and not as a full crossover with BG, except for the classic Cylons appearing as the antagonists/guest villains of this episode.)

Davros is essentially Klaus Schwab isn't he. There's only one letter's difference between Davros and Davos, for a start.

minor adjustment. Davros is technically an unevolved Dalek. the Daleks are supposed to be the Kaleds final evolutionary form.

* Another thing that might have been mentioned perhaps is how people doing impressions of Daleks always say "I am a Dalek". Why would they need to introduce themselves by saying that? Surely it's pretty bloody obvious

Daleks are the end form of the Kaled people as Davros envisioned them - Davros would be a few steps back on a few potential forks in the road. The Thals - though a different race of the same world - never end up as Daleks as they naturally breed and were not created in a lab.

My favorite theory is that is how The Doctor changed the Daleks in Genesis. All the stories before were a timeline where Davros died. The Daleks were powerful. After Genesis Davros saw that he died and saved himself and the Daleks needed him. Since he isn't good of a leader the Daleks were weakened.

I had an acquaintance that tried to "correct" my pronunciation of Daleks by saying it was "Darleks" with heavy emphasis on the erroneous "r". It was either that or they thought I was pronouncing the name with the r and pronounced some even weirder way.
