Is the secret of the Daleks about to be revealed?

Producer Mark Wright said: "After some unavoidable time distortion, the Second Doctor, Jamie, Zoe and Raven are back for more cosmic adventures set after The War Games. What a joy to be back in studio with the happy band of Michael, Frazer, Wendy and Emma.

"We felt it was time to bring things to a crescendo - but not a finale - and The Potential Daleks has our time travelling quartet facing a true invasion of time. The three stories in this box set follow a cosmic trail from 19th and 20th century Earth to a lush forest world, before a return to the Vanishing Point for a final reckoning.

"The Daleks have risen and are ready to conquer time itself... Great jumping gobstoppers, as the Doctor might say!"

Michael Troughton, who since 2022 has played the role originated on TV by his father Patrick, said: "Being back as the Doctor is absolutely wonderful. This is the fourth lot we've done, and I feel I fit it now like a glove. About half an hour before the recording, I put on some of Dad's DVDs and have a listen, and then I have my key phrase that I use to get into it, which is, 'Come along, Jamie', and that sets me off.

"I still have that memory in my head as I'm doing it, of being in the studio in the 1960s, and try to do the same as he had done. He was so capable of producing such a wonderful, comedic, real character, a real Doctor who you believed in. He did it just superbly, and I take my hat off to him."

Wendy Padbury, who plays computer genius and TARDIS companion Zoe Heriot, said: "Zoe, in these stories, has got a bit of a brain on her at the moment, she's thinking of ideas. I really like that, because that's how she was in the TV series. She was always saying, 'Don’t worry, Doctor, I'm better than you, so I'll sort it.'

"It's fantastic to meet the Daleks. I never met them on the television. I did in Seven Keys to Doomsday, on stage, and even that wasn’t as epic Dalek-wise as this, even though it was a Dalek story. This is epic Dalek as far as I’m concerned. I love it."
