Series 1, Episode 4 - "I'm a very rare Doctor Who fan who enjoys the show!"

Welcome, faithful podcast fan! In the latest instalment of our deep dive into all things Dalek, your hosts Michael and D.K. return to the console room joined by returning guest Tobi and a brand new face to the pod: Jillian Speed! Not only is Jillian a lifelong Whovian, she also happened to be the Boom Operator on none other than Blink—yes, that Blink. We kick off with the usual banter about Doctor Who firsts and favourites, followed by another raucous round of Hit or Miss, before diving headfirst into a pivotal episode: the 2005 modern series debut of Skaro’s angriest blobs in pepperpots—Dalek. We’ll unpack some behind-the-scenes facts about the genesis and filming of the episode, then give our own takes on the acting, direction, visual effects, and that juicy meta commentary. As ever, we wrap things up with your audience thoughts and our final conclusions and scores—and let’s just say, this one might be heading for the higher shelves of the trophy cabinet. So hit play faster than a Dalek elevating up the stairs, and join us for a wild ride through Henry Van Statten’s Internet and one very cross mutant in a tank.
