Notes[]
- This film is alternatively titled Dr. Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., which redirects to this page.
- Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966), and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) also redirect to this page.
- This movie was filmed in 84' Techniscope. It was shot at Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England.
- This film loosely adapts "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" storyline, which ran through episodes 4-9 of season two of the original Doctor Who series in 1964. Those episodes featured William Hartnell as the First Doctor.
- The Daleks were created by regular series writer Terry Nation. They first appeared in the season one episode "The Dead Planet" in 1963.
- One of the biggest differences between the film version of Doctor Who and the one seen on the television series is that Cushing's Doctor is an eccentric human Earth scientist. The Doctor from the TV series is an alien from the planet Gallifrey, who possesses two hearts, and can regenerate into a new physical form upon suffering a fatal injury.
