Victory of the Daleks is the third episode in the fifth series of
British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Written by Mark
Gatiss and directed by Andrew Gunn, it was first broadcast on BBC One
on 17 April 2010.In the episode, the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his
companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) arrive in London during the Blitz,
where Winston Churchill (Ian McNeice) has employed "Ironsides", a
scientific creation from Professor Bracewell (Bill Paterson) to be
used as weapons in the war effort. However, the Doctor recognises the
Ironsides as his archenemies the Daleks, who plan to destroy Earth by
activating a device located inside Bracewell, an android.Wishing to
incorporate the popular Daleks into the series, showrunner Steven
Moffat instructed Gatiss to write an episode about Churchill and the
Daleks. The episode introduces a new "Paradigm" of Daleks, which were
designed by Gatiss to be bigger and more colourful than the previous
variant. "Victory of the Daleks" was seen by 8.2 million viewers on
BBC One and BBC HD, placing second for the night it aired. Critical
reception was mixed; both McNeice and Paterson's performances were
praised, but some felt that the episode was too rushed and would have
worked better if it was spread over two episodes. Victory of the Daleks Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
