Dalek at a Glance
The Daleks () are a fictional race of extraterrestrial mutants from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Daleks are organisms from the planet Skaro, integrated within a tank-like or robot-like mechanical casing. The resulting creatures are a powerful race bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse. Various storylines portray them as having had every emotion removed except hate, leaving them with a desire to purge the Universe of all non-Dalek life. Very occasionally they are shown as experiencing other emotions, including fear, although such occurrences are rare.
Collectively they are the greatest extraterrestrial enemies of the Time Lord and series protagonist, the Doctor. Their famous catchphrase is "Exterminate!", with each syllable individually screeched in a frantic electronic voice ().
The Daleks were created by writer Terry Nation and designed by BBC designer Raymond Cusick.Briggs (1961), p. 422 ? Designer Raymond Cusick said that he got the idea of their appearance 'whilst fiddling with a pepperpot' and had them produced in fibreglass, at a cost of under £250 each. They were introduced in December 1963 in the second Doctor Who serial, colloquially known as The Daleks. They became an immediate and huge hit with viewers, featuring in many subsequent serials and two 1960s motion pictures. They have become as synonymous with Doctor Who as the title character, and their behaviour and catchphrases are now part of British popular culture. "Hiding behind the sofa whenever the Daleks appear" has been cited as an element of British cultural identity; and a 2008 survey indicated that 9 out of 10 British children were able to identify a Dalek correctly. In 1999 a Dalek appeared on a postage stamp celebrating British popular culture, photographed by Lord Snowdon.
The word "Dalek" has entered the Oxford English Dictionary and other major dictionaries; the Collins Dictionary defines it rather broadly as "any of a set of fictional robot-like creations that are aggressive, mobile, and produce rasping staccato speech". The word and Dalek image have been copyrighted by the BBC, whilst the rights to the Dalek concept reside with the (Terry) Nation estate. The term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe people, usually figures of authority, who act like robots unable to break from their programming; for example, John Birt, the Director-General of the BBC from 1992 to 2000, was publicly called a "croak-voiced Dalek" by playwright Dennis Potter in the MacTaggart Lecture at the 1993 Edinburgh Television Festival.
