- Asylum of the Daleks introduces us to many new aspects of Dalek lore, including the Parliament of the Daleks and its mysterious leader, the Dalek Prime Minister. But what is the history of this unusual Dalek leader?

Now I can firmly say that yes, former Dalek Prime Minister, we know who you are.
This got a hard chuckle out of me
LOL
😂
I found the idea of a Dalek parliament with an elected prime minister as ludicrous as the Doctor apparently did. But the idea of an over-the-top ritual where thousands of Daleks are made to assemble in one place, receive their orders, then just repeatedly shout the orders at each other seems totally in character.
Dalek Dalek, former prime minister.
[in comedic british accent]
We KNOW who you are!
@@JimmyBlether 'comedic British accent' that's a new one.
@@TheBlackcredoThey’re speaking monty python.
@@paladinboyd1228 still, there is no such thing as the British accent.
Yes, we know who you are.
Started out as Dalek for flydale north & now look at him
Davros would be so proud
I love the idea that the daleks have elections and go through all the party vs party chaos
Dalek Speaker: ORDAH! ORDAH! (in Dalek voice)
Since the Daleks as a species are like, neorologically programmed to be like, space nazis, do you think that they have a dalek tory party who are like normal fascist types and dalek labour party who are like, strasserrites? Like, they're still genocidal racist supremacists but they want more rights for like, working class daleks? That would be funny.
Dalek Bumps for Dalek Prime Minister 2024.
MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.
The existance of a Dalek Parliament and Prime Minister implies that a Dalek Shadow Cabinet and Leader of the Opposition, which is hilarious.
The Dalek prime minister had a very interesting first interaction with the doctor, and the idea of it going insane after it's intro episode about the asylum is deliciously Ironic. But all the same that episodes ending really did stunt its potential along with the rest of the paradigm. Would've enjoyed seeing it bud heads with the white supreme Dalek perhaps in a similar vain that Davros did the Red supreme.
"It dashed itself against its glass casing"
Just imagining the dalek prime minister mutant throwing itself around it's casing and all the other daleks just watching silently like
🤨 🤔 🫥 🙁 😕 🫤 🤔 🤨
Dalek supreme: 🤨embarrassing
I had the same thought 😁
Dalek Supreme: "And that's when I started blasting!"
Dalek Eternal: LoLoLoL!!!
"TOTAL EXTERMINATION OF THE UNIONS!"
"Yes, Prime Minister"
Dalek for Flydale North, concerned with cottage hospitals
I would love to see Dalek parliamentary debates
Dalek speaker: Order order!
"DO NOT FIGHT IN HERE! I SAID, OBEY!"
It’s my headcanon that We Are the Daleks actually has a bit of time wibliness going on, and that the 7th Doctor is fighting the New Dalek Paradigm (a reverse of what happens in Prisoner of the Daleks, where the 10th Doctor fights pre-Time War Daleks). Thus, the Prime Minister is indeed Celia Dunthorpe, and the ravaged Skaro with a giant Dalek-shaped building at the beginning of Asylum of the Daleks is the same ravaged Skaro with a giant Dalek-shaped building from the end of We Are the Daleks.
As for the cover art of We Are the Daleks… I’m just ignoring that tbh XD
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Something i think we have to accept is that the cover art is just designed to sell a story and perhaps aid those who lack imagination to visualise things themselves. The imperial daleks have been increasingly more used lately as the standard 7th doctor dalek type. This irks me as the story does not reference this at all. One thing that irked me was on Sullivan and Cross's "scream of the daleks" it boasted the first ever cover art officially of the imperial supreme! And guess what...the daleks in the story seem more like Chase Daleks. Experimenting with time travel and dimensional engineering. And there isnt even a supreme specified in it! This has become more common lately in big finish dalek art. False advertising. Oh look our fancy new black time war commander in gallifrry war room..
Will we specify this dalek and describe it? No? Then it may for all intents and purposes just be another bronze nsd. But the art looks pretty and makes people want to buy it...only to be dissapointed that not only do the daleks barely feature but theyre just bog standard!
I feel sorry for the Dalek MPs that have to sit directly behind the Prime Minister’s dias in the Dalek Parliament. They must have a really bad view.
the Dalek Backbenchers
Imagine if some day we get a Dalek Minister of interior
Dalek minister of education.
Dalek minister of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
"His house looked like shit..."
The idea of a Dalek Prime minister is a bit silly, but the design is very cool - an interesting evolution on the static emperor idea. I like the idea of it being plugged into all the information and stimulus coming from the dalek pathnet too.
While I do like the idea of a mental battery made up of high ranking Daleks to help their leader think of new ways of winning battles and all, I do wish the prime minister of the Daleks hinted that these Daleks were doing something different like they actually embraced democracy instead of having an emperor as having an emperor a single leader had lead them to failure in the past and they were testing to see if a new way of leadership would ensure Dalek supremacy. Might have been a good bit of lore for the Daleks to show they are not one note and are willing to think outside the box a little bit.
The fact that the Daleks operated some form of democracy always seemed so bizzare to me.
I still don't understand how the daleks could forget the doctor existed just from having data erased. They're not robots; they still have organic brains!
Yeah it’s a bit of a plot hole and makes no sense as nothing suggests daleks have a hive mind.
They have a battle computer that is linked to all Daleks like the land warrior project we had.
Even if the files were deleted their physical memories would be fine.
I think it's probably related to how their cases function. In "Into the Dalek" we see the casing that the Dalek's reside in is actively suppressing memories that might lead the Daleks into developing emotions beyond "hatred". In Rusty's case this was the memory of a Star being born
I never realised The D in Enterprise D stood for Dalek (saucer crash) 😅
The saucer section of the starship enterprise D in the movie Star Trek Generations crash landing scene at 3:23 😂
i dont think Celia Dunthorpe is the dalek prime minster, but i think she is the origin of why the daleks tried dalek version of democracy, with all the failures they wanted to try different approach
Definitely a lot more to talk about the Prime Minister and the Paradigm as a whole with Victory of the Daleks!
After watching this video and hearing about how the Dalek Prime Minister used the Dalek Pathwep to analyse the Dalek timeline makes me realize that it's similar to my Dalek strategist Supreme where it basically analyses every defeat and victory that the Daleks had and basically uses them as a way to make new plans by seeing what worked and what didn't work. Then adapting Dalek strategy to remove what didn't work. It even has a similar things with the pathwep that the Dalek Prime Minister uses where it can basically receive information from Dalek unites and analyse what they do on the battlefield. Also the whole idea of the super computer is sort of similar as the Strategist Supreme is essentially a super computer.
Could it be the paradigm Eternal?
Or do we think that would be incapable of having it's memory of the Doctor erased?
Crazy this thing snapped when it relearned of The Doctor…
A fantastic insight into a fascinating character indeed.
I always found the concept of the Dalek Parliament strange since democracy isn’t known to the Daleks, they always follow an Autocratic structure to their empire.
However, as an adult it now makes more sense to me since the Paradigm had lost their emperors (since we see two different designs) so needed a new command structure to maintain order in the Dalek empire. The Daleks must have seen other species governments and attempted to implement something similar to their own.
Can I request a video topic for you to cover? I was wondering if you could do a video on how you think the Dalek progenitor device works.
It’s one of my favourite lore elements to the Daleks but it’s never explained how it was able to create brand new Dalek casings for the paradigm. My theory (head canon) is that the Daleks during the time war had stolen/learned Timelord science and implemented it into their own technology such as the progenitor device.
Do you agree? Xx
People always talk about what Aragorn's tax policy was, but I wanna know what the Dalek Prime Minister's was
I'd love to see a dalek election. Do they have dalek political parties? Dalek politics? Are the dalek conservatives ruining their empire too?
5:06 Sorry? dashed itself? as in, it threw itself against its glass casing? I just find that hilarious for some reason.
ah, the dalek prime minister. ive been following his career since he started out as a paradigm dalek strategist, and he did brilliant work representing the empire as a dalek litigator.
in all seriousness though, i think its clear were not going to explore the paradigm dalek reign on tv again, so what id like is an audio/comic/novel series that goes into detail about the prime minister's era more
Awesome vid
happy 900th episode
The question is: who would last longer, the Dalek Pm or the lettuce?
Yes , we know who you are
This would've been cool to have been shown onscreen
Some people might say that a dalek parliament is stupid but i think it fleshes out dalek culture. Often we just see it from the outside perspective of their enemies whilst in war and not how the daleks live and act themselfs
Could you do a video on all of the weapons the daleks have used? Mainly the versions of their main gun.
Not the best Dalek concept we’ve seen IMO.
I wish we’d kept the Supreme as leader or brought back the emperor or time strategist.
I also think it would have worked better as the supreme council chamber rather than a parliament, with lots of blue strategists and no bronze Daleks.
The bronze boys would have still made an appearance in the asylum and later on in the series in Day of the Doctor set in the time war. Then we revert back to the paradigm design who are ultimately destroyed in Time of the Doctor…
Since becoming a frequent viewer and subscriber of your channel, I've noticed there are multiple times the Daleks have come into contact with the Sontarans. I already knew both were part of the Alliance to trap the Doctor in the Pandorica, but then there was the Flux, the Eternity Cage, and Master of the Daleks; all three of which have the Sontarans defeat the Daleks in one way or another. I wanted to ask if there were other notable times where the Daleks and the Sontarans encountered one another?
6:00 Dalek Leadership: A Measured Response. That confirms it, the Dalek Prime Minister is hbomberguy.
Really cool video! Where is the information of the death of the prime minister from?? I haven't heard it before!
🐙
Who is the dalek prime minister? Why he’s the metaltron! And Dalek Caan. And also Rusty I guess
?...
Metaltron died, Prime Minister died, while Rusty wants every Dalek dead.
@@robotx9285 I’m talking about how they all use the same prop mould
@@NigelTheDalek Oh
This wouldn't have happened with Dalek Prime. Empire's not what it used to be. #NotMyEmperor
He removed the paradigm from doctor who. Instantly my least favourite character
The Dalek Prime Minister is what remains of Dalek Khan . Because Dalek Supreme the White Paradime Dalek needed to be on the field , on Dalek had to stay and coordonate... clean the house while he was out exterminating. Davros made the Daleks but Davros was never Dalek so Khan was elected as prime minister. He saw everything in time and saw the Dctor as beautiful Devine Hatred
I don't like the character. Firstly I find the name dumb Prime Minister? Was that the best they could come up with?
Secondly it's just a Dalek in a glass casing.
Thirdly it seems kind of pointless having a new type of Dalek to outrank the Supreme (why not just bring back the Emperor?) It's sort of like the problem Eric Saward had with the Cyber Controller in Attack of the Cybermen.
Finally there's little to no backstory in the series.
That said I would like it if it came back under a different name and as a member of the Supreme Council. Equal to the Supreme and both answer directly to the Emperor.
I always assumed it was some sort of Intelligence gathering controller using the Parliament to gather data.
You know the idea that the daleks can have a parliament is an interesting idea. Divorces the idea of the fascist inspiration of the daleks from the apparatus of autocratic goveenment. Essentially they go from being very specifically space nazis to the space british empire. Nominally democratic, just as bigoted, hateful, and genocidal, using capitalism as a weapon of war instead of the usual fascist fare of mere cooperating with capitalists to maintain both of their power. Just because a genocidal monster uses democratic systems to get what it wants doesn't mean what it wants isnt evil.
