"Photo Blow-up" Dalek! What nonsense!! The Dardis interior clearly suffered from dimensional instability causing some occupants to appear 2D.

Such a clever design! A shame the realities of production didn't quite realise it effectively, but I love the ambition

When the TARDIS lands in the haunted house amusement, there's a shadow on the police box door.  It steps away from the light before the door opens.  I was hoping that might get a mention.

I find it crazy that the most story-driven and most-appearances prop looks the cheapest, While the best looking props (the mechanoids) only appear for one episode and a bit.

This channel is what other behind the scenes channels should aspire to be.

Didn't the story also feature the prototype "Special Weapons Dalek", which looked suspiciously like a BBC studio camera??!😃

I always marvelled that the Dalek operators managed to get into the DARDIS (reasonably) smoothly. Looks tricky.

It's really obvious from this - for the first time - that the DARDIS was meant to be a more ambitious illusion outside than its chief inspiration. So it's doubly disappointing it didn't come off and wasn't even revised for its obvious successor: the prison ship in 'Doomsday'.

8:38 Missed an opportunity to say "I'll explain later."

The DARDIS is like a magic cabinet used on stage to make a person vanish from the audience's view and reappear later elsewhere.  

A quick consultation with the Magic Circle of Great Britain would have discovered a couple of ways to do this well, possibly using a device that already existed, using mirrored doors to create an empty space within the DARDIS frame.  

The idea was used later, with Daleks appearing from a simple cabinet with a moving rear panel in a second Doctor story, this employing the 'Time Corridor' technology that links two objects or places with a similar location in another time, which the Daleks use often over the run of Doctor Who.

I enjoyed your forensic examination.  But.  Honestly.  8-10 year olds in 1965 watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it.  And the surreal look of the 'Dardis' worked beautifully, fitting with the  emerging psychedelia of the time, and of course, those always amazing opening titles.

The Daleks time machines were awesome in trillions of ways

Brilliant!

You'll end up as a couple of burnt cinders floating around in Spain!

The House of Horrors stair statues (Weeping Angels?) can be seen in an early Black and White Steptoe episode.

The idea behind this prop is really clever, if only it’d been executed more carefully.

Excellent video, raising issues about The Chase that has never occurred to me before. The poor old grams operator in Journey Into Terror had a rough time, missing several sound effects. I find the fifth episode something of a botch up in the direction stakes, until that glorious scene where the Daleks rallies their forces for the final attack, a beautiful piece of choreograph and with only one gliding camera.

Even in the 90s , when I first saw these episodes, I was fascinated by the Daleks TARDISes, so I suppose on some level they actually succeeded!

Fascinating. I've always wondered why the DARDIS concept has never been revisited. I always liked the idea that the Daleks have made a rival "bigger on the inside" dimensional time ship and are just as competent technologically as the Time Lords. Makes them out to be a much more crafty threat, and one that could appear anywhere, and at anytime. Instead, later serials make reference to "Time Corridors," which are described as rudimentary time travel at best. It's a shame. I think it would be awesome if the writers at Doctor Who decided to give the DARDIS a proper comeback.
