"Dalekmania" is the name given to the craze or "mania" among children in the United Kingdom in the 1960s for all things associated with writer Terry Nation's creations, the Daleks,[1][2] who were then regularly appearing in the BBC's television drama series Doctor Who.

The documentary is the main Special Feature on the Dalek movie DVD release - although the introduction sequence is omitted.

The actors give interesting personal accounts of the filming of these movies including anecdotes about the tough porters who were brought in from Covent Garden Market to play the male Thals and their shock when they learned that they would have to shave their chests and arms and wear wigs and make-up to get into character.

They recall fond memories of working with cast members who have since died, including Peter Cushing and Roy Castle.

There are also contributions from fans of the films, in the form of Gary Gillatt and Marcus Hearn, editors of magazines concerned with Doctor Who.
