I wish Terry Nation was alive so I could ask him about Survivors, a post-apocalypse scifi he created in 1975. It's unlike his dalek stories or his show Blakes 7
Interesting wrinkles to it. I don't know if I would call it feminist but it gives equal time to womens' experiences and all the villains are men trying to recreate patriarchal structures
I also think the female actors detected this and fleshed out these threads more than the scripts showed maybe?

"Written by the creator of the #Daleks, #TerryNation, the serial starred Hartnell and Purves alongside an early appearance by #NicholasCourtney as Bret Vyon, Adrienne Hill as Katarina, and Kevin Stoney as Mavic Chen.
"Courtney would go on to play recurring character, #TheBrigadier.
"But the 'dark and gritty' 12-part storyline was ordered to be wiped, and more than half of it remains missing."

If they make a chip for this then a shout-out to Blake's 7 and the writer, Terry Nation, for predicting this with Tariel-cells.
Orac, the greatest computer ever (fictional or not), would come later and be able to wirelessly access any PC with a Tariel cell in it.
Which was all of them.
As well as being incredibly powerful, Orac was also an irascible and arrogant AI.

This week, October's women-in-peril theme continues with another 70s flick. This time, we go overseas for a couple British nurses in danger on a cycling trip in France in And Soon the Darkness.

And now in what might become a series (at least as long as I enjoy doing it) is the opportunity for a deep dive into the first Dalek serial - The Daleks aka The Dead Planet aka The Mutants. And this one you can even watch on iplayer in both black and white and frenetic colour!

21 December is the anniversary of the first appearance of the Daleks in DoctorWho (1963) and the last episode of Blakes 7 (1981)- the latter known as Gauda Prime Day .
Both originally created by Terry Nation.
If there's a Survivors anniversary today, I'd love to know.

@cliffchapman I've been listening/watching it alongside Toby Hadoke's excellent commentary podcast for it. It's one I've realised I've hardly experienced much over the years and as much as I find Daleks a bit dull, it's got a lot to enjoy and Toby is great at, as he puts it, accentuating the positive. #Daleks #TerryNation #TobyHadoke

A great new video by Jon and Gavin at Dalek 63:88 on the creation of the Special Weapons Dalek from 1988’s ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ which reappeared in 11th and 12th Doctor stories… https://youtu.be/pAeqxp0SAbM #DoctorWho #Dalek #BBCTV #RemembranceOfTheDaleks #TerryNationArmy #TerryNation #DalekBuilding #BenAaronovitch

Every day I would look at the roof of this property (It's the 6th form building for Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Penrith) and wonder, was this the inspiration for the Daleks? Did Terry Nation venture into Cumbria, see this rooftop and think, here's a villain for Doctor Who?

Currently listening to The Dalek Invasion of Earth incidental music. There's a lot of drums!

It's Monday morning so before I impart knowledge to some 10 and 11 year olds, a quick moment to slay the sacred cow that is Genesis of the Daleks. Yeah, I'm not a fan...

Another review from ages past on my blog. Through some interesting reasoning, Lance Parkin dates The Keys of Marinus to nearly 50,000,000 BC so I reviewed it early on in my marathon. I do love this silly little quest story. If you do too, we can definitely be friends.
