British science fiction television programme Doctor Who, broadcast on
BBC One on 1 September 2012. It was written by executive producer
Steven Moffat and directed by Nick Hurran.The episode features the
alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) being captured by the
Daleks, along with his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur
Darvill), who are about to divorce. They are sent by the Daleks to the
Asylum, a planet where insane Daleks are exiled, to enable the Asylum
to be destroyed before the insane Daleks can escape. The Doctor is
helped along the way by Oswin (Jenna-Louise Coleman), a woman whose
spaceship had crashed on the planet a year ago and has been trapped
there since then."Asylum of the Daleks" incorporates many of the
different varieties of Daleks seen throughout the programme's 50-year
history, and was intended to make the Daleks scary again. Coleman
makes her first appearance in Doctor Who in this episode, before
returning as the Doctor's new companion in the 2012 Christmas special;
her appearance was successfully kept a secret from the general public
prior to the episode's broadcast, as her casting as the new companion
had already been announced. The episode was watched by 8.33 million
viewers in the UK, and received attention on BBC iPlayer and
international broadcasts. Critical reception was positive, with some
critics questioning the circumstances behind Amy and Rory's breakup. Asylum of the Daleks Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
