Love how they made the emperor feel bigger and more imposing than the original footage. I can believe this is the same emperor we saw with 9 in parting of the ways
@@darkhumour741 I know it's the same emperor, I didn't mean it literally. I'm just saying the way it's filmed and how they edited it together compared to the original live broadcast makes him feel just as foreboding as he does in the new series as opposed to how he was just slightly bigger than a dalek in the live action version which is great as the old effects sometimes don't match up with the newer renditions. The original macra for example are poorly made puppet things but the animation made them as dynamic and giant as they are in 'Gridlock'. I was trying to praise the animation on how it improves upon the limitations of the old effects which makes it feel consistent to the new series effects and that just makes the whole universe feel more congruent and fluid. The dalek emperor in the animation looks bigger and has more detail than he does in the original broadcast which is why he feels more like the same emperor in series 1.
The animation of this is absolutely brilliant the Emperor feels very intimidating and menacing. I love how the lights on the emperors neck and dome head all light up when he talks, it is amazing and I hope we get to see an Emperor Dalek again in Doctor who but possibly a design to look more like this one maybe. Idm either way. I’m hoping this means that we can get an animated recreation of The Daleks Master Plan. Which I think would be absolutely awesome 😎. I also think an animated recreation of The chase would be a good one to see and if we had all of those recreated then we would have all of the lost Dalek episodes giving us the complete Dalek episodes. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that we can have this some day xx
Why does one of the Emperor's guards have an eye "pupil"? I am aware that at least one of the "humanised" Daleks in this story had this feature (presumably so the viewer could differentiate it from the "normal" Daleks), but it did not become standard until "Day of the Daleks" nearly five years later. It looks rubbish anyway...the Dalek eyepiece is supposed to be a sort of camera lens, not an actual eye with a pupil and retina, etc...
I was waiting for this comment!! 😂 You're wrong :P. None of the humanised Daleks had it, that was a mistake in the loose cannon recon. The Emperor guard having a pupil is accurate. Also note the static props, there was no actors hired. The Dalek props in this were fitted with new yellow bulbs but they were so hot it burnt out and melted the eye lense. Giving it the 'pupil' appearance, and due to the props domes painted black, there were continuity errors, props having lenses when they shouldn't. Day of the Daleks they all had it. And agreed, not a fan of the pupil
@@dwvideosandreviewsalsothen9174 Interesting...although my mistaken assumption that it was the "humanised" Daleks that had the pupil was based on something I read in DWM years ago. I did actually see "Evil" twice back in the 60s, but I was a small child at the time & I don't remember the "pupil" Daleks being in it at all. I first saw this feature on the cover of an issue of "TV Action" comic some five years later ("Day of the Daleks" had not yet screened here in Australia), and I remember being quite horrified by it. I still don't like it to this day...
@@Nuttybott Okay, now I HAVE to ask this seeing as it's rare these days to encounter anyone who saw Evil of the Daleks in full-fledged originally broadcast live action...how impressive was it back then? I've been blown away by this animation but, of course, being that I wasn't born until 1983 (Doctor Who turned 20 and The Five Doctors first screened on the same month I was born, February! 😅😁) I've never really been able to experience it live action beyond the sole surviving Episode 2. Everything with this animation just looks and feels sooooo perfect, Dudley Simpson's score is suitably iconic, even more so than any of his other episodes, the lighting suits the mood of each scene well, the Dalek Emperor just looks SOOOO incredibly imposing, the fight between Jamie and Kemel while brief is perfectly intense (and I REALLY do love how the two become friends right after that, it really speaks to Jamie's nature ♥️♥️♥️♥️) and I just really can't find one flaw beyond the simple nitpick of them not getting The Doctor's turn to face the Dalek in Episode Two quite right since I've seen how that looks in that one sole intact episode. However, I know that Classic Who's budget didn't always reflect the writer's aspirations so was there anything within the original version that didn't seem to look quite right? Like flimsy props or sets or stuff like that? I'm just really curious as to what the original experience of Evil of the Daleks was like. I presume by saying you watched it twice that means you saw it when it originally aired and when it was repeated between Seasons 5 and 6 when Zoe was introduced following The Wheel In Space, so you got quite the unique experience for sure! 😅😁 Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling, I just really do get curious sometimes about the first-watch experience of these missing serials...😅☺️
@@Nuttybott I guess the main question I have relates to the possible differences between the animation versus the original, like what may have been changed beyond the obvious colourizing and making it 16:9. Like did the animation get any scenes wrong or perhaps if they improved upon any scenes that didn't quite work in the original as well, that sort of stuff...😅
Just imagine how great the original episode was with all Troughton's gestures and mimics...
It's his face at the end!!! I think they've pretty much nailed his in this animation

It's the low camera angles 😉, the emperor in the animation is the exact same size as the original prop! Which I'm so happy about, and indeed
It is the same one? As in, one or more canon sources says so?

@@Solarpanels-ln1ue Ah okay
@@darkhumour741 It is the same Emperor as the one in Parting of the ways and is also the Dalek that shot Davros.
I would love Daleks Master Plan to be animated like this!
It better be!!

The Chase is not a missing serial, all episodes exist within the archive.
Chase isn't lost all episodes are found
This animation is just great
Fuck yeah!
This story was fantastic! Long, but a GREAT watch! It was worth the money!
The Dalek Emperor always makes me think of a giant Ice-cream for some reason.
i can't wait for this to come out on dvd and blu ray its going to be soo good
This is interesting. The 1970s Daleks eyes are on the Emperors guards while the silver daleks have the 1960s, a nice foreshadowing
It's a mixture between the two. The dot on the eye is supposed to represent them being "humanised"
@@JamesMondasian Still, I like to think of all the guards Daleks having the 70s eyeball now
Loved this story!
One question though. Is Dalek alpha still alive since children of the revolution?

The animation really is atrocious. These classics deserve better than this cheap rubbish. Should leave them alone
