Watching this with modern eyes, I cannot help but wonder what made these creatures so iconic that even today they remain one of the most regular aliens that the Doctor comes face to face with. In the first adventure, they are defeated and in the next one they suffer the same. In my opinion, it is because of their use time and again we are still watching these adventures today in 2023. I even remember hiding behind the sofa when I heard them speak as they terrified me. I also had a Darlek suit which I tried to scare my siblings. Note I wrote "tried". On the whole, I think that the Daleks owe their place in our minds due to terrifying and exciting the minds of many young children.
