I love how when he says, “hello boys” you just hear the most British “Hello” come out of one of the Daleks. That’s comedy gold.

Imagine a sitcom based in the Dalek rec room. They all have normal voices. The daily challenges of life as a Dalek
Oh yes please
"Would you like some TEAAAA?"

Undercover boss skit like kyli wren on the star killer base might be nice too

WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?
imagine an episode of doctor who where the daleks are voiced by their operators
*THIS*
"Hi Graham!"
As much as I love Nicholas Briggs, he's the PERFECT voice for Daleks, when he eventually has to leave, I suggest we fit modulators into the Dalek props so they can be voiced by the operators.
Now I have this image in my head of an actual Dalek trying out its tank for the first time:
Dalek: (Gliding across the floor) This is most enjoyable. Whee!
Dalek viewers: THIS DALEK UNIT APPEARS TO SHOW EMOTIONS OTHER THEN HATE, HE IS A FAILURE AND IN NEED OF EXTERMINATING!
They actually had something like that in Patrick Troughton's run, the Evil of the Daleks.
Three Daleks with a "human factor", chasing each other around. "Diiiizzy? Diiiiizzy!"
There is nothing funnier than going up to three Daleks, cheerfully saying "Hello boys", and the three Daleks responding just "Hello!" Just as cheerfully
3:16 the human harvest will commence: meanwhile cool jazz plays in the background
Anyone notice that the dialogue fitted in very well with the music?
Yes
truly imagine how painful the 1960's Daleks were compared to these mechanical, dome rc controlled Daleks
Gonna be honest, that looks really, really fun to do.
Got that would be badass to be inside of. If only they could control the movement as well, it'd be like driving a go kart
The guy inside does move it around with his feet, but I doubt it would be like driving a go kart. And they reckon it gets pretty hot inside them, especially after an hour or so of filming.
I remember when they first appeared all those years ago, as a youngster, I found the Daleks very scary....especially in the confines of those metal corridors.
i admire any actor or actress who wears a suit like this as their job. the long hours . this in cluded the lost in space robot and the person who wore the orignal godzilla suit too.
I actually thought that inside was all robotics and was controlled by remote
I'm sure when they need alot on scene maybe they do
When it's not cgi
the resolution dalek is fully animatronic because it's so tiny
They were designed in 1963 robotics were impractical then even in the 1980s it would have been too unreliable so they just carried on the tradition.
K-9 was fully "robotic" in 1977!
“Ah, I’m switched on, yes.”

Who else wants to be a dalek
Iv been waiting for me to turn into a dalek since I was about 4 yrs old
+Cole Curtis sadly they don't accept recruits. Cybermen though...
Cole Curtis ME!
Me!!

I love how the advanced weapons Dalek is missing a head.
That's the Dalek Supreme
I never knew daleks had such a cool life.
GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
For a moment I read that in the Dalek voice. It took me another to realize it was the doctors that I should have read it in :)
Oh my god this must be the coolest job to have on the Doctor Who set aside from being the Doctor himself!
I mean, maybe being the master could top it
I would love to own a full size Dalek.
if there's ever a plumbing problem, do you just take one of the dalek arms to the toilet?
@@medicalbird9970 that's the joke, you must be fun at parties
I got to operate one at a Doctor Who Con, and it is really dark in that casing, but it’s really cool to actually control a Dalek.
I’ve always wanted to have an actual dalek so I can go in there and travel around the streets
That has to be the coolest job title ever. "What do you do?" "Oh, I'm a Dalek operator."
I wonder how the mutant feels as he has to have a human resting him on its lap, assisting with scenes it finds hard to perform.
I've decided. I want to be a darker operator when I'm older.
I'm sure you'll make a really scary "Darker"! 😂😂😂
Huh. I just finished S2 and I was curious about how they did the Daleks. Now I know!
I'm really surprised they aren't using total R/C models by now. However, this is definitely in the top 10 kick-ass jobs of all time...
It'd probably be too complicated and expensive, considering they actually blow Daleks up on set instead of using special effects. They'd have to stop shooting, replace the r/c dalek out for a hollow one, then blow that up.
@@charleenlangley8709 true, but hey a nerdy middle aged fan boy can dream can't he?
@@Administrator_O-5 I'd say it's a bit of a bad dream, since pure robotics/cgi in any film will make it quickly outdated. I mean, scientific inaccuracies aside, have you seen how well the Jurassic Park dinos hold up? Those were a mix of robotics, people in suits, and cgi.
@@charleenlangley8709 thanks for pissing all over a person's dreams for the sake of being the "expert" in the comments section...🖕💩🤡
@@Administrator_O-5 I didn't claim to be an expert, I only pointed out how pure cgi usually causes a downgrade in quality, and how a mixture of cgi, robotics, and puppeteering is a safer bet for a show. Also, you're middle-aged and salty someone pointed out a fair point as to why it won't go full-blown cgi? Get out of your mother's basement.
They are awesomely made.I loved it
I remember my parents taking me to the Ballarat Drive-in to see Dr Who and The Daleks back in the sixties. First time I'd seen a movie (or film), I was 5 or 6 and was absolutely terrified by the Daleks.
They should have a camera setup inside the Dalek suit in order for the operator to see in the proper way, I wonder why they don't have that kind of setup.
I've operated a dalek in the past for fan videos or for public festivals and it does get hot and cramped but fun to do.
When i thought about daleks I always thought they were remote controlled robots
My university had a Dalek, which they were apparently wanting to kit out with computer vision and other such things so they could drive around autonomously. It was painted up bright red (the university's brand colour) and had IBM and "I
Daleks talking in a normal voice messed with me
Looks pretty fun just gliding around in a dalek
That plunger still slays me 😂
If I was on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and the question was what's inside a Dalek, I never would have said a human. I've always thought it was robotic.
I got to meet in person those operating the Daleks, at a Montreal comicom. Still have the pics.
Amazing the general Dalek design hasn't really changed since the '60s.
that would be sooooo amazing to be a dalek!
I love the daleks i allways wanted one stood in the corner of my room when i was a kid.
God Bless Terry Nation a genius
My favorite show of all time, but for the last couple of years it seems they want to test that. Minimal damage so far, the foolishness of political correctness will fade.
I love these. 🤩❤️
You'd think now they could build in a monitor system and a small camera to see where they were going.
Apart from playing the doctor himself, this is my dream job.
"Anyone for Dodgems?"
This is the best job ever 😍
(Daleks beginning to test the reality bomb)
(Jazz music playing)
Exfoliate! must have smooth skiiiiin!
its only the lights and the dome which are controlled by remote in fact in the peter cushing movies they got ballet dancers in the daleks thats why they moved so quick in those movies
That looks like so much fun! How many arms do they need to operate it?!
they frightened my as a kid and still do and i am 63
I now live in a dalek thanks doctor
This is cool. They are aweson
I want to have a life-sized Dalek, like the prop shown in this video, but you can move it from your own :)
There is probably a lot they have to do in there like move around, move the head time the lights and move the arms
They throw Boo-Blay around like he's a proverbial rag-doll!
'THIS IS ALL PROPER-GANDER WE ARE THE DALEK'S'.
O.O The daleks are assimilating! ;) I could die happy if I could just be a dalek operator for a little while. XD
You know, I always wondered how the got in.
The Daleks are my favourite and I want one😊
Just imagine being stuck inside the dalek
best job ever
Lads...
I've located the best Halloween costume...
What I'd give to be a Dalek operator!!
Huh. I really just assumed that the modern ones were remote controlled and not puppeted. Neat.
I love these sort of live action props because they are real they are physical and whilst you can do some awesome cgi work unfortunately it’s really telling when someone is talking or interacting with a CGI or inanimate object whilst trying to believe that there is say a giant hull in front of you
I wish I was a dalek and just ride everywhere
you gotta hand it to these blokes they make it look easy makes you wonder how much of a pain in ass it was with the very first Daleks it was probably a right godawful nightmare.
Hello operator? I believe my party's been Exterminated.
I am your soldier. ( Good episode👍)
"Come with me" "and you'll see, a world of pure domination"
2:42 Thought he said the Thal one at first xD
He didnt?
Just found my dream job!!
If only the real dalek suit opened up as it does in the show
Hydrate! Hydrate!
It’s funny how the emperor dalek has no head
“The in-dalek entertainment system
"Put it in the Curry!"
Best. Job. Ever.
So there are 2 “pilots” the guy inside the dalek moving the laser arm and plunger arm and the rc guy
This is what Dalek Operators put up with. ;)
You mean egg beater and toilet plunger?
Would love to work as a dalek.
I want to see a Dalek dance with R2-D2.
Their plans to conquer the Universe were thwarted by stairs.
The darlex must survive
I'm a massive fan of Marvel and star wars and im kind of a fan of doctor who.
I'd love to see a battle between the Chitauri and the daleks. Who would win? Id say the Daleks because the probably have better fire power over the Chitauri, however if thanos was there then its rip daleks
Im 54 and they still give me the willies!!!!
did he just say fantastic?
that's so cool
That’s blown it, thought they were real
Darlek goes to Mac Donald and ask for a big Mac and a drink. The Darlek takes the order and says I OBEY I OBEY.

I am still shitting my pants, when i see one of these!
ID LOVE TO DO THAT AS A JOB
even the operator is named nicholas lol
Imagine if an actual dalek came to earth and everyone thought it was a costume...
The one with the higher voice sounds inoccent ngl
'Ello Boys
'Ello Greame
What do the people inside the dalek do? And what is remote controlled?
So do they move with pedals inside that thing, or do they get around Fred Flintstone-style?
