Doctor Who: 10 Worst Things The Daleks Have Ever Done

9. Dark Eyes - The Dalek Time Controller Plot

Big Finish's sixteen-part epic Dark Eyes, starring the Eighth Doctor, sees a unique kind of Dalek take centre stage: The Time Controller. It would not be over exaggerating to say this is probably one of the worst Daleks out there.

Having made various appearance in Big Finish before this story, the Dalek Time Controller has already proved a force to be reckoned with; another such instance will be touched upon later. But Dark Eyes is their big moment.

Using the Doctor's companion, Molly, who had been infected with Retro-Genitor particles, the Time Controller planned to undo the past of the Time Lords, wiping them out. Thankfully, due to a paradox, this does not succeed in first set of the series, however, the Time Controller still vows to wipe out the Time Lords.

After these events, this unique model is exiled from the Dalek Empire, and allies himself with the Master. In the end, the Time Controller seeks out the origin's of the Eminence, a psychic force, a comparable threat to the universe as the Daleks, wishing to become one with it.

Again, thankfully for the Whoniverse this plot is foiled by the Eighth Doctor and his companions, but had he not, the Time Controller could have wiped out the Time Lords before the Time War had even began.

If there is one Big Finish series you get into, it's this one!
