10 Lost Doctor Who Episodes That Need To Be Found

6. The Evil Of The Daleks (1967, 6 Out Of 7 Missing)

Out of all the missing Dalek episodes, this is the worst. Of course, that€™s not saying much, since Dalek stories are usually the highlights of most of the Classic Doctor Who eras. Surely, a lot of interesting things happen here. Viewers see the debut of Victorian companion Victoria and supposedly witness the end of the Daleks, because their creator (not Davros, but the far more evil Terry Nation) was trying to sell them to the Americans. While the number one Doctor Who villains do eventually make their return six years later during Pertwee€™s era, many fans still believe that this is their actual end within their timeline. However, this seems implausible. While one enjoys seeing, or rather hearing, happy go-lucky Daleks suddenly impregnated with human emotions, it€™s not as if all of them had been changed. Surely, the inventive, malicious mechanical mutants would have found a way to deal with this minor inconvenience. After all, receiving human emotions was mostly their own doing. Unfortunately, the show€™s writers never bothered to actually shed light on this topic. That being said, The Evil of the Daleks remains an important and highly entertaining episode. For all his joyfulness, fans see Troughton€™s Doctor at his darkest. He deliberately manipulates Jamie into a trap, relying only on his trust of his companion€™s abilities to get out of it. Of course, this also brings out the best in Jamie, who sadly doesn€™t really get much character evolution after this. His one on one fight with the very large stereotype of a Turk, Kemel, should be a worthy spectacle. The story also marks the first return to Skaro via Victorian time travel.
