The Emperor Dalek, from the left. The image shos a larger, static Dalek with hexagonal patterns and a ring of large black spheres around its skirt. It has no arms; only a single eyestalk. It is connected to triangular wall grid by a series of tubes and pipes.

Have been doing #DoctorWho Evil of the Daleks research. The Emperor Dalek appears in film sequences at Ealing for shots of the Dalek Civil War. There are tons of gorgeous phtographs from this shoot. Note the triangular bars above the Emperor and the two tubes attached at his lowest level. 1/
