Notes[]
- As later made even more explicit by Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe, the description of the five "castes" of the Paradigm refers to the Eternal Dalek as a singular being, rather than a variant with many individuals like the other four.
Continuity[]
- The Anti-Dalek Force investigate the lead-up to the New Dalek Paradigm's creation. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)
