DID YOU KNOW?:



Happy Days Are Here Again, heard on the radio at the start of the episode, was written in 1929 by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen. It was a hugely popular song in the 1930s and remains well known to this day.



On average, the Empire State Building is struck by lightning a hundred times each year. Due to efficient lighting conductors and other precautionary measures, the vast majority of strikes occur without incident - unless, of course, there's additional solar flare activity and a Time Lord clutching onto the mast.



Solar flares are violent explosions in the atmosphere of the sun. They travel at a million kilometres an hour and have energy equivalent to a billion megatons.



Although this is the first time Daleks have appeared on stage in the TV series, the metal mutants are no strangers to trundling the boards. Three major theatre productions have featured the Daleks over the years: b (1965), Seven Keys to Doomsday (1974) and The Ultimate Adventure (1989)



CLASSIC CONNECTIONS:



We first learned about Dalekanium, the powerful metal from which Dalek cases are formed, in the classic 1964 story The Dalek Invasion of Earth.



Daleks measure time in Rels. The term was first heard in the Peter Cushing Doctor Who films of the 1960s. It was not until Doomsday that Daleks used Rels in the TV series. One Rel appears to last just over a second.



Daleks acknowledged the advantage of defining the 'Human Factor' in The Evil of the Daleks. One human, Theodore Maxtible, was converted to think and act like a Dalek. Dalek Sec's experiments took the process far further, changing the very nature of the human DNA.



The destruction of Skaro was engineered by the Doctor in Remembrance of the Daleks. He tricked the Daleks and their creator into using an ancient Time Lord weapon to trigger the obliteration of their world.



Remembrance of the Daleks featured a Dalek battle computer, similar to the one that Dalek They became the heart of. In Remembrance of the Daleks, the core of the device was a young human girl.



Daleks abhor anything that is genetically different from themselves; so much so, that variations in Dalek DNA have been known to cause civil war to break out between differing Dalek factions (see Revelation of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks).
