Dalek films (series)

"Dalek films" is a common fan term referring to a series consisting primarily of 2 films featuring Peter Cushing as "Dr. Who", an eccentric human scientist who invents Tardis, as opposed to mainline Doctor Who 's "the Doctor", typically depicted as a Time Lord, or at the least, non-human who stole "the TARDIS"; at the time of the films' initial release, the Doctor was typically considered human across all media.

Since release, the films have often fallen into a state of "non-canonicity" in the minds of some fans. However, various later pieces of media have attempted to explain his co-existence with the Doctor in various ways. Additionally, TV Century 21 's The Daleks ' ending attempted to follow into the second film, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D..

The films have also received various adaptations, the first being adapted into the comic Dr. Who and the Daleks as well as the short story The Story of the Film, and the second being adapted into the comic Daleks, invasión a la Tierra año 2150. Elements of the series have also been integrated into not only occasional sequel stories but also parody series such as Doctor Who? and The Daft Dimension, both of which are set in parallel universes.
