Evil was initially intended to be the last Dalek story on Doctor Who. Writer Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, was busily trying to sell the Daleks to American television at the time and it was intended to give them a big send-off from the series. However this was not to be his last encounter with them. In 1993, readers of DreamWatch Bulletin voted The Evil of the Daleks as the best ever Doctor Who story in a special poll for the series' thirtieth anniversary.

Plot

A Dalek checks on the captive Victoria Waterfield.

Taking off immediately from the end of The Faceless Ones in 1966 London, the Second Doctor and Jamie watch helplessly as the TARDIS is loaded onto a lorry and driven away from Gatwick Airport. The trail leads them to an antique shop run by Edward Waterfield, who sells Victorian-style antiques that curiously seem as though they were still new. Investigating the store, the Doctor and Jamie succumb to a booby trap that gasses them.

They wake up to find that they have been transported to 1866, and are in the house of Theodore Maxtible, Waterfield's partner. The two had been trying to invent a time machine using mirrors and static electricity, when the Daleks emerged from their time cabinet. The Daleks then took Waterfield's daughter Victoria hostage and forced Waterfield to travel a century forward in time to lure the Doctor into a trap by stealing the TARDIS. Waterfield is obviously fearful for his daughter's safety and his own, but Maxtible seems to be going along with the Daleks for his own reasons. 1866 (MDCCCLXVI) is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...

The Daleks threaten to destroy the TARDIS unless the Doctor helps them by conducting an experiment to isolate the "Human Factor", the unique qualities of human beings that have allowed them to consistently resist and defeat the Daleks. Once the Doctor has isolated the Human Factor, he will then implant it into three Daleks, which will then become the precursors of a race of "super" Daleks, with the best qualities of humans and Daleks. To that end, the Daleks want the Doctor to test Jamie by sending him to rescue Victoria, who is being kept in the house. The Doctor is strangely co-operative with the Daleks, manipulating Jamie into the rescue mission but not telling him of the nature of the test.

Jamie manages to rescue Victoria, but she is taken prisoner again and transported through the time cabinet. The Doctor, observing how Jamie accomplished the rescue, distills the Human Factor, but continues to harbour suspicions that there is more to the experiment than just this. Once the Human Factor is implanted in the three Daleks, they become completely human in personality and seem almost child-like, although the Doctor says their mentalities will mature quickly. This was the Doctor's intent all along, that the human factor would lead to "human" Daleks that would be friendly to humanity. He christens the three Alpha, Beta and Omega, but they soon return through the time cabinet to Skaro, the Dalek's home planet. Skaro is a fictional planet from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who created by the writer Terry Nation as the home planet of the Daleks and, at times, the centre of the Dalek Empire. ... The eight planets and three dwarf planets of the Solar System. ...

Meanwhile, Waterfield has discovered that Maxtible has betrayed them all to the Daleks, hoping that he will be able to learn the alchemical secret of transmuting base metals into gold. However, Maxtible is discovering just how ruthless the Daleks are and how empty their promises can be. Jamie, Waterfield and the Doctor manage to escape through the time cabinet to Skaro before a Dalek bomb destroys Maxtible's house. Maxtible has done the same earlier, and is tortured by the Daleks for his failure to bring the Doctor to them.

At the same time, the trio have found their way into the Dalek city and are brought before the imposing Emperor Dalek, who reveals the true reason behind the experiments and the capture of the TARDIS. By isolating the human factor, the Doctor has succeeded in isolating the "Dalek Factor" as well. The Daleks will use the "Dalek Factor" — the qualities that make the Daleks mindless killing machines — to reconvert the "human" Daleks. In addition, the Emperor wants the Doctor to use the TARDIS to spread the Dalek Factor throughout human history, turning all humanity into Daleks. The Doctor knows that the Emperor realises that he would die before complying with this order, and so is concerned about why the Emperor seems so confident. The new Dalek from the 2005 series revival There are several variant models of the Daleks, a fictional alien race in the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Maxtible is put through an archway that infuses him with the Dalek Factor, mentally turning him into a Dalek. He hypnotises the Doctor and puts him through the arch as well, apparently converting him. However, the Doctor is feigning his conversion, and secretly plants a device on the arch while the Daleks hunt for the three "human" Daleks. As one still remains to be found, the Doctor suggests that all the Daleks be put through the conversion arch so that the "human" Dalek will once again be infused with the Dalek Factor. Professor Charcot was well-known for showing, during his lessons at the Salpêtrière hospital, hysterical woman patients – here, his favorite patient, Blanche (Marie) Wittman, supported by Joseph Babiński. ...

As the first batch of Daleks go through the arch, the Doctor frees the others. The arch did not work on the Doctor because it was calibrated for humans, and he is not one. The Doctor has also substituted the Human Factor for the Dalek one on the arch so the Daleks that go through will become "human" and rebel against the Emperor. The Emperor calls out his Black Daleks as the rebellion spreads and the city falls into chaos. Waterfield throws himself in front of a Black Dalek blast meant for the Doctor. The Doctor promises that Victoria will be taken care of, and Waterfield dies content. The Emperor is attacked and exterminated by the "human" Daleks. While the Doctor and his companions escape, Maxtible rushes back into the exploding city, screaming of the everlasting glory of the Dalek race.

The Doctor tells Jamie that they will be taking Victoria along on their travels. Jamie, Victoria and the Doctor watch the Dalek city in flames from the top of a hill as the civil war continues. The Doctor pronounces this as the end of the Daleks — the final end.

Continuity

• The first two parts of Evil take place contemporaneously with Part Four of the First Doctor serial The War Machines; coincidently, the First Doctor said that he had the same feeling he had when Daleks were around at the start of that story.
• Fans have suggested that this story is the final Dalek story in the context of Dalek history, although like most things in Doctor Who fandom, this is debatable. The FASA Doctor Who Role Playing Game supported this, placing the story's date 143,350 years in the future relative to Gallifrey's "present." A scene cut from the script of the Third Doctor serial Day of the Daleks would have stated that the rebellious Daleks of this serial were destroyed, however, establishing that Evil was not the last Dalek story.
• The story of the humanised Daleks was followed up on in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip story Children of the Revolution (DWM #312-#317), featuring the Eighth Doctor and his companion Izzy. Like all spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.
• Other versions of a Dalek Emperor would appear in Remembrance of the Daleks (1988) and "The Parting of the Ways" (2005).
• The Doctor's journey to Skaro (via time cabinet) is the first time the Doctor returned to an alien planet visited in a previous story (although scenes on Skaro were featured in The Space Museum and The Chase). It was not until The Monster of Peladon that the TARDIS itself would revisit a world it previously landed on (excepting Earth).
• Human Daleks are seen in the 2007 series, in the two episodes "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Daleks".

Production

• The Evil of the Daleks was wiped from the BBC's archives in the late 1960s. Episodes one to six were wiped in August 1968, episode seven being wiped in September 1969. Only a telerecording of episode 2 remains, returned to the archive in May 1987 after being found at a car boot sale a few years earlier.
• In 2004, analysis of the repeated clip used in The Wheel in Space episode six revealed it to be from episode one rather than episode two as had been long believed, however this only constitutes a few frames of recovered footage.
• The discovery of a behind-the-scenes film, The Last Dalek, made by the special effects team as they worked on the story's conclusion, facilitated the recreation of the climactic battle scenes. This recreation and the entire film have been made available in different forms on various Troughton releases. In addition, tele-snaps exist for the entire story.

The Target novelisation by John Peel

To date it is the last serial of the original series to be novelised (there are presently a half-dozen serials that, due to complex licensing, are unavailable for adaptation).

Broadcast, CD, VHS, DVD releases and stage version

• The story was repeated in 1968 at the end of Season 5. At the end of The Wheel in Space, the Doctor used a telepathic display machine to show new companion Zoe Heriot the sort of monsters she would face if she joined the TARDIS crew, and shows a clip from the end of episode 1 of The Evil of the Daleks. Over the following weeks (bridging the gap between Seasons 5 and 6) the entire story was shown, narration over the opening scene of episode 1 reminding viewers of the reason for the repeat. This was the only time any Doctor Who episodes (other than the first episode) were reshown in the 1960s. Ironically, Zoe herself would never encounter the Daleks on television; decades later, the Big Finish Productions audio story Fear of the Daleks would tell of an encounter between Zoe and the Daleks, set immediately after the Doctor's telepathic re-run.

• A copy of the soundtrack was released in 1992. A second version with alternative narration was released in 2003.

• The remastered soundtrack to The Evil of the Daleks was also in a collector's tin called Doctor Who: Daleks which also included the soundtrack to The Power of the Daleks and a bonus disc with My Life as a Dalek, a documentary presented by Mark Gatiss detailing their history.

• The solitary surviving episode was released on the VHS video Daleks: The Early Years and on DVD within the Lost in Time boxset.

• In 2006, the BBC and the Terry Nation estate licensed a stage version of the serial, adapted for the theatre by Nick Scovell with an orchestral score by Martin Johnson.^[1] It was performed at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth in October.
