Plot

Characters

References

The Doctor introduces Ralph as Peri's great, great (etcetera) grandfather and tells her he can see the resemblance, especially when she frowns.
Terry Nation comes in the USS Tax Exile to patent all the rights to the Daleks before he'll allow them to make their first appearance.
Peri believes the creator of the Daleks to be Davros.
The Doctor and Peri observe that once the Daleks had their plan to steal the Earth's magnetic core in order many other races such as the Cybermen and Sontarans also came to Earth to steal it.
According to the Doctor, the science fiction writers' handbook defines the stealing of the Earth's magnetic core as "the great cop out".
The Doctor notes that the aliens were eventually defeated thanks to the formation of the Neolithic Union of Mineworkers.

Notes

The title of this story as well as its basic plot are references to the film Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. which featured Peter Cushing as Dr. Who.

Continuity

The Eleventh Doctor also visited the dawn of human civilisation. (TV: Hide, COMIC: Short-Change)
The First Doctor previously afforded the BBC production team access to a time machine and knowledge of the Daleks. On one occasion, some of the team were exterminated on Skaro. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary)

For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.

Sontaran stories

For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories.
