Doctor Who ''Victory of the Daleks'': Ten Teasers

Digital Spy has ten teasers for the upcoming Doctor Who episode ''Victory of the Daleks.'' Written by Mark Gatiss and featuring the character of Winston Churchill, this episode also marks the return of one of the Doctor's most enduring ennemies: the Daleks.

Here is what they revealed:

Doctor Who ''Victory of the Daleks'' Episode Details

Den of Geek has some info about the upcoming episode 3 of Doctor Who Series 5 titled Victory of the Daleks that is set to air on April 17 in the UK.

It takes place during WWII and features the great Winston Churchill (played by Ian McNeice) and Doctor Who returning baddies: the Daleks.

Taking the information from Doctor Who Magazine number 420, available in the UK since April 1 (unfortunately we in North America have to wait 2 months before it lands here), Den of Geek reveals that:

the Daleks are referred to as "Ironsides" and have been developed by the British army as a new weapon. But is there really a "victory" in store for The Doctor's oldest foe? I guess we'll just have to wait and see but both Steven Moffat and Gatiss suggest that the title is literal...

Are we to see the Daleks gaining a victory over our beloved Doctor? Tell me it isn't so!

Also, the BBC Press Office has released the episode summary for the episode:

The Doctor has been summoned by an old friend, but in the Cabinet War Rooms far below the streets of blitz-torn London, it's his oldest enemy he finds waiting for him, as the time-travelling adventures continue. The Daleks are back – but can Winston Churchill be in league with them?
[BBC Press Office]

Over at Life, Doctor Who and Combom, they hypothesise that the old friend could be Captain Jack Harkness. While my own wishful thinking would go completely giddy and mad if it were true, I doubt it since Steven Moffat ruled out returning characters from the Russel T. Davies era for the moment (though River Song IS returning). But the Mof may have a sweet spot for Captain Jack. Guess we'll know when we finally see the episode. [Life, Doctor Who and Combom]

What do you Guys think. Is Captain Jack the old friend? Are you looking forward to that episode?

Doctor Who Series 5's upcoming third episode is titled Victory of the Daleks. Set in WWII and written by Mark Gatiss - who also wrote Series 1's The Unquiet Dead and Series 2's The Idiot's Lantern - the episode features the character of Winston Churchill played by actor Ian McNeice and some little metal thingies called Daleks. I wonder what those Daleks are . . . Just kidding!

Here are some pictures from the episode. Enjoy!

A good little soldier always needs his gear

I want to play with my own little Dalek too! Weeeeee!!


Actor Ian McNeice is Winston Churchill. I'm not sure if he's mad or puzzled or something.

More Churchill and Dalek News for Doctor Who

After hearing Matt Smith's Doctor for the first time, now we have other snippets of dialogue, this time from a Dalek (voiced by Nicolas Briggs as usual) who asks ''would you care for some tea? This question is definitely un-Dalek like and has me much intrigued about the storyline.

As well, we have a few more informations about the characters that will appear in this episode. As previously mentioned, we have Winston Churchill, and a character called the Professor.

Life, Doctor Who and Combom has the exclusive by alun.vega:

As far as I can tell, the story so far is that Bill Patersons character is some kind of Professor, a boffin working for Churchill during WW2. He believes hes invented the Daleks as a new super-weapon, though hes a bit fuzzy on how the idea came to him. The Daleks are stringing the Professor along, playing docile and very British.

Dalek: Would you care for some tea?

Churchill doesn't care where the Professor's "ironclads" came from, only that they have the potential to defeat the Nazis and win the war.

Churchill: Death to our enemies, Death to the 3rd Reich!The Doctor: Yes, yes, and death to everyone else too.

The Doctor is trying to convince the Professor and Churchill not to unleash the Daleks, but they're not taking him seriously (possibly because he seems implausibly young?) hence his growing frustration and anger, as he turns on the playing-it-innocent Daleks:

The Doctor: I sent you back into the void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I am the Doctor, and you are the DALEKS!

The Professor (Bill Paterson) seems to warm to Amy, as they're both Scottish. I believe the Professor says: "Are you from the Islands?" Very sweet.

My reading of this line is, he seems not only to be trying to convince Churchill and the Professor of the Daleks true nature, but also reminding himself of who he is: the Doctor!

Amy Pond is definitely 100% Scottish. She has a soft accent, so her voice didn't carry far, making it hard to hear anything she said.

We glimpsed someone looking very Churchillian from the side, yesterday lunchtime, but didn't recognise the actor

At one point, the professor talks about the Daleks being his ''Ironsides'' (probably meaning a form of weapon against the Nazis.) As well, he claims to have created the Daleks, and these ones answer back that THEY created him.

Hear the Eleventh Doctor Speak!

Well, this is one fantastic piece of news! We get to hear Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor speak for the first time!

It was recorded today (august 28th), in Jacobs Antiques Center in Cardiff, by alun.vega who says ''

''I wasn't bugging them! I was simply standing in the stairwell above where they were recording. There is a open (caged) lift shaft - seen in Love & Monsters - and the sound carried upwards when the actors shouted, as Matt did here.''

On the recording, the Doctor says:

''I send you back into the void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I am the Doctor, and you are the DALEKS''

You can hear the fantastic recording HERE!

I had to listen to it a few times. I find the way he calls the Daleks a bit weird, like he's saying Da -aah -leks. Perhaps this scene was re-shot a few times, and I suppose it needs to be heard and seen in context to make sense of the way he says the word.

In further news, it seems that Winston Churchill may finally make his appearance (it's been talked about for ages, and I know that the book writers were forbidden to use the character, meaning the show had plans to use Churchill) in the WWII-Daleks episode. Life, Doctor Who and Combom has received a scoop from both alun.vega and Scooty. Go here for the story. Remember, nothing is confirmed yet!
