A Dalek from Terry McDonough's biographical television drama An Adventure in Space and Time. Made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the sci-fi BBC TV series Doctor Who, the film explores the creation of this beloved show and William Hartnell's (David Bradley) portrayal of the first Doctor. After producer Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine) convinced creator Sydney Newman (Brian Cox) to televise the Dalek story, the series became a huge success.

This Dalek was one of four used to recreate the aliens' first-ever appearance and has a hollow interior and seat for the actor operating it. Finished primarily in silver paint, the Dalek comprises a wooden upper body, which features aluminium plating; an operable metal, resin and rubber gun stick; an operable plunger arm; and a fibreglass neck frame lined with black mesh, for the operator to see through. The Dalek also has a swivelling fibreglass dome head featuring an eye stalk that moves up and down, and two orange ping pong balls as communication indicators, which have lights inside powered by a 12v battery. These electronics remain untested.

The upper body, which has "No. 4" written on its lower rim, can be separated from the wooden skirt it sits upon. This skirt features the name "Paul" written on its interior and is studded with rows of blue plastic sense domes, with black rubber fenders covering the wheels fixed to its base. A secondary wheeled base frame was added to this Dalek for extra support when filming on Westminster Bridge. The lot exhibits wear from production use and age, including a broken dome, chips, scuffing to the fenders and peeling paint on the plunger.
