Death To The Daleks on DVD- An Assault On Your Sanity Out Now!

It's NOT CONFIRMED of course, but this is either the DVD cover or I've fallen for buying magic beans again...

I like it, but they've still got time to get the painting on Jon better. In fact, this probably is a fan made hoax, isn't it?

**Dirk Gently** · 5th Mar 2012, 11:56 PM

I hope so. It looks a bit 'cartoon like' for my tastes.

**J.R. Southall** · 6th Mar 2012, 5:50 AM

That looks like the real thing to me!

**Si Hunt** · 6th Mar 2012, 9:36 AM

It looks more exciting than the story!

I don't think it's real. They haven't tried to cram on Bellal, the Exxilon city, the 'Root', Sarah Jane Smith, the Dalek spaceship, the mysterious symbols, or even Galloway and Tarrant. How will people know if their favourite companion is in it or not?!

**Dave Tudor** · 6th Mar 2012, 12:26 PM

I don't know - it's got just the right obscure photo of The Doctor and alternative version of a well-known image (the Dalek exploding) to be a real cover!

true, yet it just feels season 11 stories have taken so long to finally all get released.

It's also got the concentric circles pattern so beloved of Mr Hickman. I reckon it is real, and I rather like it! They've taken a leaf out of the book cover design (for pun's sakes!), and gone for simplicity over completeness, and good for them!

Eta: this is not one of the many covers I tracked down and chose from when I was assembling my complete DVD-R collection a couple of years or so ago, so if it is a fan design, it must be relatively recent - and most of the recent fan covers have been new series.

Looks like a Lee Binding to me, similar style to The Face of Evil cover.

**SiHart** · 11th Mar 2012, 11:42 AM

From Lee Binding on Twitter this morning...

Home alone today. Time to finish up the #doctorwho Death to the Daleks sleeve.

So this possibly isn't actually the cover.

**Dirk Gently** · 11th Mar 2012, 12:21 PM

May be it was a rough draft?

**Si Hunt** · 11th Mar 2012, 5:07 PM

I bet the actual sleeve won't be as good!

Si.

**J.R. Southall** · 12th Mar 2012, 5:17 AM

Ah, so it is a Lee Binding then!

According to something Clayton Hickman once said, it seems the artists themselves are responsible for 'inserting' the artwork into the template ... perhaps that's what Lee means?

Or maybe they're just aware that this cover has leaked early, and he's tweeted that for a bit of fun, knowing that people are already talking about it...

No Joy Harrison then!

Epic fail, again.

Si.

On the Set of Dr. Who and the Daleks - Behind the scenes on the first Dalek film in 1965.

Oooo - now this seems interesting!

**Antony Cox** · 29th Mar 2012, 12:16 PM

Unfortunately this strory is a bit thin on the ground with regards to surviving actors, but a big YAY! for Arnold Yarrow - bless!

**Dave Tudor** · 29th Mar 2012, 2:07 PM

I'm convinced I read of his death in DWM many years ago! Still, good to get him on board, though as far as I can make out, Joy is still around (even if her last TV appearace was 'Silent Witness' in 2003) so they should have tracked her down!

**SiHart** · 29th Mar 2012, 2:17 PM

Perhaps they did and she didn't want to be involved?

**Si Hunt** · 29th Mar 2012, 2:23 PM

Or perhaps, as is usual when there is a choice between a dull fan clever-dick and an interesting botoxed old bag, they didn't even try.

Si.

**Rob McCow** · 10th Apr 2012, 9:05 PM

Hmm - not sure if I like that cover or not!

**Nyder** · 10th Apr 2012, 9:42 PM

The frills are nice. They'd have been better on the Dalek though :-)

**Dino** · 10th Apr 2012, 11:47 PM

Great balls of fire! I was right! (Looks out of window to check world isn't ending)
Wouldn't happen again in a million years!
