Dr. Who (Dalek Films)

Dr. Who is a character based on the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. Although based upon the character of the Doctor from the television series, the character is fundamentally different, most notably in being human.

The character, portrayed by the actor Peter Cushing, appeared in two films made in the 1960s by AARU Productions, Dr. Who and the Daleks, which was based upon the televised serial The Daleks, and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D., based upon the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Plans for a third film, based on The Chase, were abandoned after the poor box office performance of the second film.

Cushing made no mention of the character or films in his autobiography.
