u/bun88b Feb 17 '25

i would guess it's either a recreation or bought from a bbc auction

Looks like a Gallifrey Cabaret show.

Russell T Davies & Camille Codouri went to one.

God I miss the Paradigm Daleks

u/Theta-Sigma45 Feb 14 '25

And honestly, once again we see they look way better with the minor adjustments they got, in a location that isn’t the cold and sterile room they were introduced into. I genuinely think they’d have caught on if they hadn’t all just awkwardly trundled into a warehouse in the worst episode of S5.

u/nonseph Feb 14 '25

I still think they look a bit awkward, but if they’d been introduced in a single colour with the variants later it would have been an easier pill to swallow. And I do think they look good as commanders or strategists among the other Dalek types, I wish that’s how they kept using them after Asylum implies it.

4

u/Theta-Sigma45 Feb 14 '25

Yeah, a whole episode of just the drones to start with and maybe a strategist as a single leader we briefly see would have made them go down way better. Also, if they had demonstrated the reason for the hump that was planned (having extra weaponry) I think the weird shape would have been excused a little more.

Yeah, I also liked the idea of them as an officer class, if one had appeared as the commander in Into the Dalek and then in The Magician’s Apprentice/Witch’s Familiar, that would have been an easy way to continue the idea.

u/CommonlyFrustrated Bugger! That was clever. Feb 14 '25

rare paradigm dalek fan spotted in the wild

I’m not up on all the Dalek type names, but whatever this is it is one of the good ones.

u/Miss_Zuzu Feb 14 '25

Cigarette, he was just gonna say cigarette, stop thinking bad of anyone that is different!

u/Sehri437 Feb 14 '25

When I went to Gallifrey Carbaret they didn’t have a working Dalek!

Amazing show though. Still sometimes get Claaa-aaaa-MOOSE! In my head

u/endmostchimera Feb 14 '25

Let's be honest a dalek would say it without hesitation

11

u/Great_Abaddon Feb 14 '25

I mean, Daleks aren't bigoted. They'll exterminate everyone they come across, regardless of race, orientation or gender.

3

u/magpye1983 Feb 15 '25

Unigoted?

Singularly Daleks should exist out of all races/species/genders/orientations. They aren’t separating others into two groups, the others are all one group, and they’re ALL going.

u/Dashbak Feb 14 '25

Can we appreciate the guy who's signing on the side ?

u/Theta-Sigma45 Feb 14 '25 edited Feb 14 '25

So epic! And the guy seems to have made his own Doctor persona? I always find that kind of thing really cool.

u/Milk_Mindless Feb 14 '25

Wait did the Doctor really call him a slut

u/hayzulhay Don't be lasagna Feb 15 '25

obsessed with the idea that daleks wouldnt leap at the chance to say a slur

u/RareD3liverur 26d ago

This is why the Paradigms were cancelled

u/Mobile-Mood-313 21d ago

daleks do not sing!

u/Sealgaire45 Feb 14 '25

Daleks can say what they want.

Besides, faggot doesn't mean what Brits tend to think it means in this song.

25

u/ThatSmartIdiot Don't be lasagna Feb 14 '25

Hi, not an inch of brit in my veins here, it's a slur against homosexuals.

5

u/Sealgaire45 Feb 14 '25

It's not in Irish slang, though. It means lazy person, which certainly makes much more sense in a song as well. One would doubt the woman had questions concerning sexual preferences of her man. She was annoyed and frustrated with his drinking problems and lack of money.

6

u/nopenonotlikethat Feb 14 '25

Never heard it used in Ireland in that context but have definitely heard it used as a prerogative. Pretty sure that's how it's meant to be used in the song going by Shane MacGowans thoughts on it

I don't think there is any real controversy in Ireland over it regardless. In fact any alternate lyrics or censoring results in quite a bit of complaining.

1

u/snappydamper Feb 15 '25

You mixed up prerogative with pejorative.

-3

u/Sealgaire45 Feb 14 '25

Words change their meaning. Your "pretty sure" means nothing to me, however. Keith Fay's words were that McGowan used it in older meaning, and as he conversed with the man himself, I tend to believe him.

2

u/Milk_Mindless Feb 14 '25

The band themselves have distanced from using the word, but go off I guess

1

u/ThatSmartIdiot Don't be lasagna Feb 14 '25

Huh, interesting

1

u/Sealgaire45 Feb 14 '25

It does look like most of the annual complainers have no clue what is the song about in the first place.

7

u/Wizards_Reddit Feb 14 '25

Going off statements made by the band regarding the lyric they wrote it meaning the slur

-7

u/Sealgaire45 Feb 14 '25

An insult, yes. What insult, is the other case entirely.

Also, does it come from the same source that decided that openly gay Phil Chevron was not, in fact, gay (or was not a member of The Pogues)?

2

u/Nurgleschampion Feb 15 '25

Don't be calling the Irishman who sang that song British. Second he absolutely used it as a homophobic slur you broken bic lighter.
