Message-ID: <118@ulose.UUCP> Date: Wed, 21-Aug-85 10:26:51 EDT Article-I.D.: ulose.118 Posted: Wed Aug 21 10:26:51 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 24-Aug-85 14:22:25 EDT Distribution: net Organization: CADMUS Computer Systems, Lowell, MA. Lines: 21 Having noticed the question of where the name TARDIS comes from, I couldn't resist asking if anyone on the net really knows how Terry Nation came up with "DALEK" and under what circumstances. I realize that this question may have been posed prior to my reading this news group, but I'm curious to know if American fans know the answer. If anyone is interested in "old" DALEK information, I have the original DALEK pocket guide (published by the Beeb) and the first DALEK colour annual. I'd be glad to answer questions by mail. If no one knows the answer to the above query, I'll post the info in about 4 weeks. (As you might have guessed, I've watched the Doctor since the beginning, in black & white on the TV next door, 1 episode every Saturday at 5:15 GMT.) Bob
