1: The Daleks - Dalek Doctor Who: Greatest Monsters & Villains

How exciting! It's me, Joel, and welcome back to this final

instalment of Doctor Who's greatest Monsters and Villains weekend. So

after three nights, thousands of votes, and countless pairs of soiled

underwear, we are finally here at our ultimate baddie.

You're not telling me you don't know what's coming. But before I reveal

your champion, let's just take a quick look at some of those monsters

and villains that didn't make the list.

So here it is. Your number one Monster and Villain. They are the

stuff of nightmares. Their name is synonymous with Doctor Who, and can

be identified with the uttering of one, four syllable word. Hang on a

second... As if they need any more of an

introduction. In first place it is...the Daleks.

Exterminate. Would you care for some tea?

I have no understanding of the word. These creatures are pure hate in a

life form, Who were a genetically-modified creation of the

evil scientist Davros. My remarkable creations. Is he any relation to

Bobby Davros, or is that Davro? Whatever. Anyway, the Daleks are the

sworn enemies of the Doctor, first appearing way back in 1963. And the

rest, as they say, is history. Slash present, slash future.

That is the real Dalek creature inside. It is a mutation. The Dalek

race were genetically engineered. With all emotions except hate being

removed, the Daleks evolved to become the perfect machines of war.

Great big alien death machine defeated by a flight of stairs.

Everyone has their Achilles heel. Superman has Kryptonite, I have

reading, and Achilles...has his heel. And so what? The Daleks have

stairs. But do you really think a planet conquering race like the

Daleks would be stopped by something as simple as stairs? Think again.

Elevate. It may sound silly now, but the toilet plunger, trash-can

hybrid, coupled with that chilling electronic shriek, struck terror

into the hearts of many of our parents, and their parents before

them. And as such, the Dalek is now a part of television folklore. And

if your parents are to be believed, part of that folklore is that the

mere thought of the Daleks would send them running for cover behind

the sofa. This tells me two things. One, the Daleks truly are the most

terrifying things in the galaxy. And two, people's houses were a lot

bigger back then, if their sofas were anywhere but up against a wall.

Exterminate. Coming up, the Doctor comes face to face with the last of

the Daleks, who is being held in a secret bunker by a collector of

alien technology. But how deadly can a captive Dalek be? Let's find out

as we watch your greatest monster and villain in...Dalek. Laters.

ROSE: So what is it? What's wrong?

I don't know. Some kind of signal, drawing the Tardis off course.

Where are we? Earth. Utah, North America.

About half a mile underground. And...when are we?

God, that's so close. I should be 26!

they must've spent a fortune on this.

That's the mileometer from the Roswell spaceship.

That's a bit of Slitheen! That's a Slitheen's arm -

The stuff of nightmares, reduced to an exhibit.

I'm getting old. Is that where the signal's coming from?

Nah, it's stone dead. The signal's alive.

If someone's collecting aliens, that makes you Exhibit A.

'Attention all personnel. Bad Wolf 1 descending, Bad Wolf 1 descending.'

On behalf of all of us, I wanna wish you a very happy birthday, sir.

What is your name? Goddard, sir. Diana Goddard.

So where's the English kid? Sir, sir!

I bought ten more artefacts, Mr Van Statten. Let me see 'em.

In-tru-da window, that was funny! THEY LAUGH OBEDIENTLY

Bring them in. And tell Simmons I want to visit my little pet.

Simmons, you'd better give me good news! Is it talking?

Is that any good? DRILLING RESUMES

Paid $800,000 for it. What does it do?

I really wouldn't hold it like that. Shut it!

Is it dangerous? No, it just looks silly.

You just need to be... INSTRUMENT HUMS

It reacts to the smallest fingerprint.

I'm the Doctor. And who are you? Like you don't know(!)

We're hidden away with the most valuable collection

of extraterrestrial artefacts in the world,

and you just stumbled in by mistake(?)

Pretty much sums me up, yeah. Question is, how did you get in?

53 floors down, with your little cat-burglar accomplice.

Quite a collector yourself - she's rather pretty.

And who's he when he's at home? Mr Van Statten owns the internet.

So you're an expert in everything, except the things in your museum.

I know how good I am. Yet I captured you right next to the Cage.

You tell me. The Cage contains my one living specimen.

What's that? Like you don't know. Show me. You wanna see it?

Blimey, you can smell the testosterone.

Goddard! Inform the Cage we're heading down.

Go and canoodle or spoon or whatever it is you British do.

Inside? Inside what? Welcome back, sir!

I've had to take the power down - the Metaltron is resting. Metaltron?

Although I'd much prefer to find out its real name.

Don't open that door until we get a result.

Look, I'm sorry about this, Mr Van Statten might think he's clever,

but never mind him. I've come to help. I'm the Doctor.

MECHANICAL VOICE: Doc...tor...

Let me out! EXTERMINATE!

Sir, it's going to kill him! It's talking!

The great space dustbin. How does it feel?

What does that mean? I am a soldier.

Well, you're never gonna get any. Not ever.

They're never gonna come. Your race is dead. You all burnt.

All of you. Ten million ships on fire.

The entire Dalek race wiped out, in one second.

I watched it happen. I made it happen.

Oh, and I caught your little signal.

But there's no-one else coming cos there's no-one else left.

You're right! Yeah, OK! You've got a point.

DALEK SCREAMS Have pity!

I saved your life. Now talk to me. Godammit, talk to me!

I am Henry van Statten - now recognise me!

Mr Van Statten sort of lets me do my own thing,

Spacecraft, aliens, visitors to Earth.

That's amazing. I know it sounds incredible.

But I honestly believe the whole universe is just teeming with life.

And you do what? Sit here and catalogue it? Best job in the world!

Travel amongst the stars and see it for real.

Yeah. I'd give anything. I don't think it's ever gonna happen.

Not in our lifetimes. Oh, you never know.

I think they're nutters. Yeah. Me too.

Sorry, but...yeah. I can't help it - I was born clever.

When I was eight, I logged onto the US defence system.

Nearly caused World War Three. What, and that's funny, is it?

You should've been there. Just to see them running about. Fantastic!

Are you and him...? No, we're just friends. Good.

So, wouldn't you rather be downstairs?

You've got these bits of metal and stuff,

but Mr Van Statten's got a living creature down there.

Yeah. Well, I did ask, but he keeps it to himself.

it doesn't take long to patch through on the comms system.

It's just like this great big pepperpot.

The metal's just battle armour. The real Dalek creature is inside.

Every single emotion was removed, except hate.

Genetically engineered? By whom? By a genius, van Statten.

By a man who was king of his own little world. You'd like him.

It's been on Earth for over 50 years. Sold at private auction,

moving between collections. Why would it be a threat now?

Because I'm here. How did it get to Earth?

burnt in its crater for three days before anybody could get near it.

And all that time, it was screaming. Must have gone insane.

The only survivor. You talked about a war?

The Time War. The final battle between my people and the Daleks.

But you survived too. Not by choice.

This means the Dalek isn't the only alien on Earth, Doctor.

There's you. The only one of your kind in existence.

Two hearts. A binary vascular system!

Oh, I am so gonna patent this. So that's your secret.

You don't just collect stuff, you scavenge it.

This technology has been falling to Earth for centuries.

All it took was the right mind to use it properly.

Oh, the advances I've made from alien junk -

you have no idea, Doctor! Broadband? Roswell.

Just last year, my scientists cultivated bacteria

from the Russian Crater, and do you know what we found?

Why sell one cure when I can sell a thousand palliatives?

D'you know what a Dalek is, van Statten?

It does what it was born to do, for the survival of its species.

Listen to me! That thing downstairs is gonna kill every last one of us!

But it's woken up! It knows I'm here! It's gonna get out!

Van Statten, I swear, no-one on this base is safe.

My name's Rose Tyler. My friend can help. He's called the Doctor.

What ya gonna do? Sucker me to death?

It's killing him! Do something! Condition red.

You've got to keep it in that cell! Doctor, it's all my fault.

I've sealed the compartment. The lock's got a billion combinations.

Rose, get out of there! GUNSHOTS

De Maggio, get the civilians out alive. That is your job, got that?

We're losing power. It's draining the base.

Oh, my God. It's draining the entire power supplies of the whole of Utah.

Sir! The entire West Coast has gone down!

It's not just energy. That Dalek just absorbed the entire internet.

The cameras in the Vault are down. We've only got emergency power.

Kill it now! All guards to converge on the Metaltron Cage immediately.

Agh! GUNSHOTS

Tell them to stop shooting at it. But it's killing them!

They're dispensable - that Dalek is unique.

I don't want a scratch on its bodywork! Do you hear me?

That's the Cage, and that's the Dalek.

Rose is down there. I won't let that happen, got that?

It has to go through this area. What's that? Weapons testing.

Stairs! That's more like it! Hasn't got legs - it's stuck!

Now listen to me. I demand that you return to your Cage.

If you want to negotiate, Mr Van Statten will be willing to talk.

I accept that we imprisoned you, and maybe that was wrong,

but people have died, and that stops - right now.

The killing stops. Have you got that?

I demand that you surrender. Is that clear?

I thought you were the great expert, Doctor.

If you're so impressive, why not just reason with this Dalek?

It must be willing to negotiate. It must need something.

If the Dalek gets out, it'll murder every creature. That's all it needs.

The Dalek's got a force field. The bullets melt before they hit.

Aim for the dome - the head, the eyepiece. That's the weak spot.

Thank you, Doctor, but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot.

It was looking at me. Yeah, it wants to slaughter us!

So? It's just a sort of metal eye thing, it's looking all around.

I don't know. It's like there's something inside,

Open fire! VOLLEY OF SHOTS

Except there's no power to the helipad, sir. We can't get out.

Steel bulkheads... Not enough power! We've got emergency power,

And nobody knows this software better than me. Sir...?

Extrapolating the biomass of a time-traveller

regenerated me. What's your next trick?

I have been searching for the Daleks.

Downloading the internet. What did you find?

I scanned your satellites and radio telescopes.

And? Nothing.

You're just a soldier without commands.

Then I shall follow the Primary Order.

The Dalek instinct to destroy. To conquer!

Why don't you finish the job and make the Daleks extinct?

Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just DIE?!

I can leech power off the ground defences, feed it to the bulkheads.

You've got to keep moving. The vault is being sealed off up at level 46.

Can't you stop them closing? I'm closing them.

I can't wait, and I can't help you. Now for God's sake, run!

Done it! Power to the bulkheads. The Dalek's right behind them.

We're nearly there - give us two seconds!

Doctor, I can't sustain the power. The whole system is failing.

Rose! Where are you? Rose, did you make it?

Remember that, OK? It wasn't your fault.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Exterminate! ELECTRICAL PULSE

I said I'd protect her. She was here because of me, and you're sorry?!

I could have killed that Dalek in its cell, but you stopped me.

Worth all those men's deaths? Worth Rose?

Mankind goes into space to explore. To be part of something greater...

You're about as far from the stars as you can get.

What d'you expect? Daleks do not fear. Must not fear!

You were quick on your feet, leaving Rose behind.

I'm not the one who sealed the vault!

Open the bulkhead or Rose Tyler dies.

I thought you were dead. Open the bulkhead!

Don't do it! What use are emotions,

if you will not save the woman you love?

What do we do now? You bleeding heart, what the hell do we do?

Kill it when it gets here. The guns are useless,

and the alien weapons are in the vault. Only the catalogued ones.

Mr Van Statten tends to dispose of his staff and wipe their memory.

I kept this in case I needed to fight my way out. You, in a fight?

I could do! What you gonna do, throw your A Levels at 'em? ..Oh, yes!

I'm begging you, don't kill them. You didn't kill me.

I wanted to help you, I just... I don't know, I was trying to help.

I thought if we could get through to you, could mend you...

I'm so sorry. I swear, I just wanted you to talk!

Don't do it! Don't kill him! You don't have to do this any more.

There must be something else, not just killing. What else is there?

I never thought I'd feel the sunlight again.

Rose, get out of the way, now! No! Cos I won't let you do this.

That thing killed hundreds of people.

It's not the one pointing the gun at me.

I've got to do this. I've got to end it.

The Daleks destroyed my home, my people. I've got nothing left.

It's the sunlight. That's all it wants.

But it can't... It couldn't kill van Statten, it couldn't kill me.

It's changing. And what about you, Doctor?

Take him away, wipe his memory and leave him by the road someplace.

You can't do this to me! I am Henry van Statten!

By tonight, Henry van Statten will be a homeless, brainless junkie,

living on the streets of San Diego, Seattle, Sacramento -

Little piece of home. Better than nothing.

Is that the end of it? The Time War. I'm the only one left.

Maybe some of your people did too. I'd know.

Well, then. Good thing I'm not going anywhere. Yeah.

We'd better get out. Van Statten's gone. They're closing down the base.

I'll have to go back home. Better hurry up, then.

Next flight to Heathrow leaves at 1500 hours.

Adam said that all his life, he wanted to see the stars.

Tell him to go and stand outside, then. He's all on his own, Doctor.

So did you. What are you talking about?! We've got to leave!

Plus, he's a bit pretty. I hadn't noticed. On your own head...

She wasn't joking - we're gonna get sealed in!

What are you doing standing inside a box?

The fourth great and bountiful human empire.

Kronkburger with cheese, kronkburger with pajatos.
