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 character of "Doctor Who" (his on-screen name) is portrayed as being an eccentric human inventor rather than an alien. Consequently these Dalek appearances and variants exist in a continuity unique to the film series.
