Dr. Who Dalek movie 4K restorations preview at the BFI

---

Hosted at BFI Southbank in London, this unique event featured a screening of both classic Dalek movies separated by a Q&A session with members of the cast and crew. The venue has hosted screenings of the Doctor Who television series to tie in with releases of The Collection boxsets. It was an incredible thrill for these two iconic movie versions to be given the prominence they rightly deserve. Plus, it is a genuine thrill to see something intended for the big screen on the big screen. Even more exciting to see a full-size bright red movie Dalek in the foyer!

Q&A

Joining fans at BFI Southbank to see both films were special guests Roberta Tovey and Jill Curzon, as well as Anthony Waye (the assistant director of both films). After Dr Who and the Daleks had been screened, a Q&A session covered both films. Although the memories had faded slightly, there were plenty of enjoyable anecdotes.

Roberta Tovey had had difficulty completing her study sessions during recording breaks with Roy Castle down the hallway playing his trumpet and tap dancing away! Jill Curzon spoke of the Sherlock Holmes-inspired tweed ensemble with yellow suede boots with two zips on the front. The footwear wasn’t entirely suited for all the running required during the film! Similarly, Anthony Waye spoke of the difficulties of trying to coordinate multiple Daleks! Although it transpired that the panel were unfamiliar with the current incarnation of the television programme, their insight into their original productions was riveting.
