REVIEW
By Brandon Gantt
Dr. Who & The Daleks: The Official Story of the Films is a title that I have eagerly looked forward to since it was announced. Filmmaker and author John Walsh has the golden touch (or pen) when writing definitive guides on classic cult cinema. He’s done it thrice over with his tomes, Harryhausen: The Lost Movies (2019), Flash Gordon: The Official Story of the Film (2020), and Escape From New York: The Official Story of the Film (2021), all for Titan Books. To say my expectations were high would be an understatement. Consumers and reviewers highly regarded all three previous titles, and all were nominated for Rondo Hatton Classic Horror awards!
Luckily Dr. Who & The Daleks: The Official Story of the Films lives up to Walsh’s previous titles and my lofty expectations! John takes control of TARDIS and drops us effortlessly back to the swinging sixties, where Dalekmania was running wild, culminating in the two 1960s Doctor Who film adaptations, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. John does an admirable job of painting a vivid picture of the making of these two films, drawn from lots of archive material, interviews, unseen artwork, and gloriously restored and colourised photos by Clayton Hickman. The book examines the complete production process for both films, including production, design, casting, and distribution, all accompanied by a cornucopia of illustrations, behind-the-scenes photos, posters, and props that I’ve never seen before. The overseas promotional campaigns are always fascinating, as Doctor Who had yet to become the worldwide phenomenon it is today.
This book is a must-purchase. Whether you are a fan of Doctor Who or just cinema, John Walsh has done a magnificent job capturing the excitement and enthusiasm of 1960s Doctor Who.

David Tennant Confirms Doctor Who Will Be Bernard Cribbins' Last TV Performance
David Tennant Confirms #DoctorWho Will Be Bernard Cribbins' Last TV Performance
Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor actor, David Tennant, has confirmed not only that Wilfred Mott will appear in more than one episode of the 60th anniversary specials, but also that it will be, as suspected, Bernard Cribbins’ last TV performance. While at last month’s GalaxyCon, Tennant explained: “‘Can we get Wilfred back? Can grandad be back on set?’ He was getting old and a little bit infirm but…

I really need to get into Doctor Who already, but I am so tempted to start with the universally derided Peter Cushing movies first.
This just encourages me further.

'David Tennant and Catherine Tate pay tribute to Bernard Cribbins after his posthumous appearance in Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special, "Wild Blue Yonder." In the special, Cribbins briefly reprises his role as Wilfred Mott, the grandfather of Donna Noble (Tate) and longtime friend of the Doctor (Tennant). Sadly, Cribbins passed away on July 27, 2022, making his return as Mott his final TV appearance. He first began portraying the character in 2007 alongside Tennant's Doctor, which adds an emotional layer to their 60th anniversary reunion.
While appearing on Doctor Who: Unleashed, Tennant and Tate paid tribute to their late Doctor Who 60th anniversary co-star following the premiere of "Wild Blue Yonder." Tennant describes how "delighted" they were when they learned Cribbins was returning for the special, while Tate explained that she and Tennant had grown up watching Cribbins' works as children. Check out their statements below:
Tennant: We were beyond delighted when we knew that Bernard was going to be able to come back. It means so much to me, personally, and I think to the show as a whole, really, that he was there. That character meant so much to so many people.
Tate: Bernard will always, obviously, hold a very special place in my heart, because he always did, even before I knew him, because David and I kind of grew up with watching Bernard on TV, and he was the voice of the Wombles and loads of stuff that would define our childhood. And so having him play my grandad was amazing.
Bernard Cribbins' Doctor Who Legacy
Cribbins left behind quite a legacy following his decades-long career, in which he appeared in notable works such as The Railway Children and Frenzy. Additionally, as Tennant described, he held a special place in the Doctor Who universe. His experience with the franchise actually began back in 1966 when he starred in Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. The film wasn't canon to the Doctor Who TV series, but it was inspired by the show and marked Cribbins' first stint as a companion of the Doctor. Little did he know that over 41 years later, he'd become an official Doctor Who companion.
Cribbins first appeared in Doctor Who as Mott in the Christmas special "Voyage of the Damned." He was running a newspaper stand in London and was revealed to be one of the few residents remaining in the city over the holidays despite all the extraterrestrial happenings. The Doctor teleported away then, leaving Mott perplexed. However, that wasn't the end of the story. He returned in Doctor Who season 4, episode 1, "Partners in Crime," where it's revealed he is Donna's grandfather. With his interests in astronomy and alien conspiracy theories, he wholeheartedly supports Donna's desire to travel the world with the Doctor.
Occasionally joining their adventures, Mott fought Daleks, made daring escapes, and later helped save Donna's life by ensuring she wouldn't remember the Doctor. However, he was drawn to the Doctor again in "The End of Time" and became his temporary companion. Ultimately, the Doctor sacrifices his life to save Mott, a decision the Time Lord never regretted. "Wild Blue Yonder" brings Mott's story full circle as it's revealed his faith in the Doctor never wavered. His Doctor Who story ends with his reunion with the Doctor and his hope that the world will be saved again.
Note
Showrunner Russell T Davies has confirmed Mott will be mentioned in the final Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, but he won't appear onscreen as Cribbens only filmed one scene.'

Remember this post?
While researching for another post, TIL I'm not the only one to have had this thought, connecting Louise to Brax and Maggie.
From Simon Guerrier, in Bernice Summerfield - The Inside Story:
["Oh, and we should have called Maggie in The Empire State (p.255) "Louise" - the name of Dr Who's niece in the 1966 film Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D."]
Silly thought I just had writing the tags to that last post... does the existence of Dr. Who's neice "Louise" in Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. imply the existence of an "Irving Who"?
Or for that matter, another niece other than Maggie in the main timeline, either via Brax or by some other sibling, like Ulysses and Anne's half-Time Lord/Human daughter?

Speed-running Doctor Who - The Eighth Doctor and Other Non-Series Doctors
A quick and dirty guide for those who want to get into the show, but don't want to watch everything from the beginning.
The Eighth Doctor
Plot Important Episodes
Entrances, Exits, Enemies, Lore Drops, and Character Development
The Enemy Within - The Doctor Who TV Movie (The Eighth Doctor's introduction)
The Night of the Doctor - Minisode (The Eighth Doctor regenerates)
Bonus
Not actual episodes but things you might want to watch anyways
Shada - Webcast (one of the many animated versions of Shada, but this one stars the Eighth Doctor instead of the Fourth)
The War Doctor
Plot Important Episodes
Entrances, Exits, Enemies, Lore Drops, and Character Development
Scream of the Shalka - Animated Mini-Series (this story features what may or may not be a young War Doctor. It also features Derek Jacobi as the Master for the first time)
Day of the Doctor - 50th Anniversary Special (The War Doctor's proper introduction and his only official episode)
Bonus
Not actual episodes but things you might want to watch anyways
The Curse of Fatal Death - Minisode (a Doctor Who parody made for charity that, at the time, was treated as an actual episode but is no longer considered canon. Worth a watch just to see how much the short predicted the New Series)
Alternate Universe Doctor
Back in the 60s, Doctor Who got two theatrical film adaptations staring Peter Cushing. There's much debate over where he fits in the continuity of the show, if at all, but he literally has more screen time than either McGann or Hurt so there's no reason not to include him.
My personal favorite fan theory is that he is a 10.2 Meta-Crisis Doctor grown old. It explains why he's human, why his last name is actually Who, why he had to build his tardis in his backyard, where his two granddaughters and niece come from, why they're named after past companions and family, why Ian and Wilf have alternate universe version of themselves, and why the Doctor is seemingly repeating his past adventures all over again.
Plot Important Episodes
Entrances, Exits, Enemies, Lore Drops, and Character Development
Dr. Who and the Daleks - Movie (first story featuring Peter Cushing's Doctor)
Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. - Movie (Final story featuring Peter Cushing's Doctor)
Bonus
Not actual episodes but things you might want to watch anyways
At the Earth's Core - Movie (This has even less to do with the show than the Dalek movies, but Cushing's character here is basically the same as his portrayal of the Doctor and is even called 'Doctor' through out the film. So fans of his Doctor have considered this an unofficial third movie)
(NOTE: THE FUGITIVE DOCTOR WILL BE COVERED DURING THE 13TH ERA BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL OF HER APPEARANCES ARE)
(disclaimer: no spin-offs or extended universe stuff were considered when making this list beyond filmed appearances)
Up Next: The Ninth Doctor

For some reason, Dr. Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. does not play on Xbox. It's cool with PS5, though.
This proves that PS5 is the superior 9th Gen Console.
#I honestly almost exclusively play movies on my Xbox#I put this in and got a weird 'can't read' earning#then put it back in and it loaded but the menu had no play option#I had to put it in my PS5#Worked there

Time Ram thoughts: what will become of the Peter Cushing Dr. Who films once The Daleks and Dalek Invasion of Earth get Rammed elsewhere? They might simply cease to exist, of course, but that would be boring. The more interesting answer would be that they were made about whatever episodes end up replacing them (could be fine if it's, e.g., Victory of the Daleks, could be slightly unhinged if it's Eve of the Daleks, knowing how the Ram works, it'll probably be Aliens of London/World War 3 or something.)
The most interesting answer, of course, is that the stories remain the exact same, but the films were made around a couple years after wherever their inspirations get rammed into. Matt Smith gets Dalek Invasion of Earth, and a couple years later, Benedict Cumberbatch stars in Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.
Could be a nice eventual Time Ram Christmas Special!
