Dr Who vs the Daleks (lost 'Doctor Who' fan film, 1966)

Dr Who vs the Daleks was a 1966 fan-film directed by Orville Bannister and produced by Oscar Hardy (1932-2005). It is notable for featuring Carole Ann Ford and Jacqueline Hill reprising their roles as Susan and Barbara and with Clive Dunn of 'Dad’s Army' fame as the Doctor. It was meant to capitalise on the Dalekmania craze of the mid 60s.

It was an urban myth in the Doctor Who fandom, most believing mentions of it in newspapers as typos for 'Dr Who and the Daleks', a surviving Dr Who film starring Peter Cushing until 2008, when more-detailed listings for the film appeared on fan-sites, listing Clive Dunn, Carole Ann Ford and Jacqueline Hill, who didn’t appear in the Cushing film along with a low-quality newspaper picture of the films Daleks.

It is infamous for causing a lawsuit with the BBC, which resulted in all known prints of the film being destroyed in 1969.

Bannister was interviewed in 2010 and he provided promotional pictures of the film. Clive Dunn and Carole Ann Ford held 16mm clips of the film in their show reels until they were destroyed in 1989 and 1978 respectively. Bannister posted a trailer to YouTube in 2016 and multiple clips featuring Barbara were uploaded in 2018.
