10 Craziest Doctor Who Time Loops
3. Dalek Paradise (Eve Of The Daleks)
For a species that loves nothing more than to exterminate everything in front of them, time loops are absolutely perfect. Stuck in one place with the same helpless victims, slaughtering them over and over and over again?
It's a Dalek's favourite sport!
The 2022 New Year's Day special Eve Of The Daleks was exactly that, with the universe's least-favourite pepper pots stuck inside a time-looped storage facility, alongside the Thirteenth Doctor, Yaz, Dan, and a couple of cannon-fodder civilians.
Well, actually, this is that rare episode where everyone is cannon fodder - even the Doctor and her companions - since the whole point is to use each "loop" to gather information on how to ultimately break it.
Cue a lot of exterminating, a lot of dying, and not much New Year cheer, with these ruthless Executioner Daleks putting their (frankly rather awesome) gatling-style laser guns to very good use. Indeed, Eve Of The Daleks doesn't exactly break new ground with these iconic villains - but watching them wreck shop for an hour or so is undeniably quite enjoyable.
