Dalek Variants in Films
Capitalising on the wave of 'Dalek Mania' gripping Britain following their initial appearances in the Doctor Who programme, two films featuring the Daleks were produced; Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD (1966). The storylines for these movies are essentially identical to the first two TV serials in which the Daleks were seen, with the primary exception that the protagonist is portrayed as an eccentric human inventor with the surname "Who" rather than an alien. Consequently these Dalek appearances and variants exist in a continuity unique to the film series.

Famous quotes containing the words variants and/or films:
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
