Episode 116 - We are back talking Daleks but not the ones you were expecting! To celebrate the publication of The Evolution Of The Toy Dalek-Collecting Through The Ages we are joined by author Alex Storer and contributor (and fellow Victorian!) Mark Dunne who talk about how the Dalek toys evolved from the halcyon (and out of proportion) days of Dalekmania being manufactured by companies such as Louis Marx, Pailitoy, Severn Models, Dapol and bring us bang up to date with Character Options.

They discuss how the book evolved from e-book to a physical tome, what new research they uncovered and how the recreation of key scenes used from the program were recreated on a model scale for the fantastic pictures found throughout!

All this plus what was used to build out the Dalek army on the planet Spiridon and find out how a Palitoy Talking Dalek met its untimely end!
