Description

This picture illustrates a scene from the Patrick Troughton Dr Who story- The Evil of the Daleks. The Doctor has been forced to work for the Daleks who have stolen his TARDIS and holding it hostage. Whisked back in time to 1866, the Doctor has manipulated his companion Jamie into going on a mission to rescue Victoria Waterfield, the daughter of the man responsible for kidnapping the Doctor and Jamie from 1966. Whilst on this mission Jamie has supplied the Doctor on the elements that make up the Human Factor. He has then transplanted this Human factor into the embryos of three Dalek creatures. When they are activated they behave like children and want to play trains with the Doctor (yes indeed) scooping him up on their fenders as they whiz around the parquet floor boards, whistling like demented kettles.

The Doctor gives these three Daleks names-Alpha, Beta and Omega and because he is a clever clogs draws little Greek symbols on each of their casings. “ALPHA! BETA! OMEGA!” chirp the cheery little pepper pots.

Little does the Doctor know but while he is doing all this, the Daleks are secretly working out the Dalek Factor- that which makes Daleks the uniquely evil things they are, so that they can transplant that into the minds of every Human Being in the Entire History of Earth. (Now what could possibly go wrong with a scheme as evil as that you say?

The orginal story had the Doctor going back in time with Edward Waterfield to study an actual cave man, i.e. to really get to grips with the human factor. But that was never translated to screen sadly. The serial itself was wiped a few years after broadcast, although it has now been recreated as a full length animation a couple of years back.
