“Daleks!” comes out this November as part of the fun “Doctor Who” multi-platform story according to BBC Studios. This was the final piece fans have been waiting for in the “Doctor Who Time Lord Victorious” news. A five-part CGI animation will be weekly on the Doctor Who YouTube channel. Just to add to that good news, the viewings are free!
The exciting new animated series will feature stars such as Nicholas Briggs (voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who) Joe Sugg (YouTube, Strictly Come Dancing), Anjli Mohindra (Bodyguard, The Sarah Jane Adventure), and Ayesha Antoine (Holby City). Each shared their excitement with BBC America.
Nicholas Briggs said: “This latest, fantastic, thrill-packed venture into the world of animation, with the Daleks as the stars of the show, is something so many of us have been craving for years. And for me it’s been a marvelous challenge, as usual playing every single Dalek in action, but with the added excitement of portraying some beautifully written, leading Dalek characters. It’s been a blast, and I can’t wait to see the finished production.”
Joe Sugg said: “I’m super excited and thankful to have been invited to play a role in this new animation. I’ve been a fan of Doctor Who from a young age so to be a part of it is a dream come true.”
Anjli Mohindra said: “When I saw that this series was about THOSE iconic villains I knew it was going to be one hell of a ride and I couldn’t wait to sign up!! I had so much fun being thrown into the wonderfully weird world of remote recording and so thrilled that I was able to be part of something that feel so special!”
Ayesha Antoine said: “I have never been more fascinated to see the final product of a show. To be a part of the animated story of these iconic baddies is really special. The recording session was a whole new adventure – another surreal moment to add to the growing list from 2020”.
The series is written by James Goss and created by Salford-based animators Studio Liddell. More information about “Daleks!” is expected soon by BBC Studios. Meanwhile, fans are still buzzing over the fact that David Tennant will reprise his role as the Tenth Doctor in an audio drama entitled “Dalek Universe” brought to us by Big Finish Productions. Stay tuned for April 2021 for the first volume, and hang tight for the other two coming out July and October, 2021.
