#exterminate!

The exterminators are here -- The Daleks, supplement for the Doctor Who Role Playing Game (Jim Holloway cover art, FASA, 1985) Holloway didn't often leave a visible signature, but occasionally worked his name into a scene like here where his name is on the discarded pilot's helmet.

Broke: Doctor is facing Daleks. Again.

Woke: Doctor is facing Daleks again!

Happy International Dalek Appreciation Day!

On December 21 1963, the DALEK first appeared on the second story of Doctor Who and immediately became a sci fi legend.

(Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman, and William Hartnell as the First Doctor are in there too)

Whatever your opinion of the Daleks, they’ve been an icon for 56 years... not bad for a giant tin pepperpot that originally had a whisk and a plunger for weapons! (no, seriously, that’s what they used to make the first Daleks.  The BBC didn’t have much in the way of a special effects budget)

The Daleks were the brainchild of producer Verity Lambert (who says women can’t write scary shit?? Go read Frankenstein you troglodytes!), who naturally nearly got fired over it (to be fair, the executive producer said from the start he ‘didn’t want any bug-eyed monsters in the show) but talked her way out of it.

So cheers to Verity Lambert, too!

If you’re in the mood to get seriously smashed, raise a Exterminator cocktail (or two???) to celebrate!
