First appearing on BBC's Doctor Who television series in December 1963, the Daleks were an instant hit. A wave of "Dalekmania" swept across England, with toys, games, books, and other ephemera being snatched up by the children of the day. Film producer Milton Subotsky, never one to ignore a popular trend, quickly bought the rights to bring the Daleks to the silver screen, pitted against a somewhat different time lord - Doctor Who, played by Peter Cushing. This country-of-origin UK Quad from the film's first release in 1965 features the impressive, colourful artwork of Bill Wiggins and was only ever used for this British release.
