Nonetheless, this tome will right that wrong, promising new interviews and behind-the-scenes details, finally giving the Cushing stories the focus they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the blurb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>Dr. Who and the Daleks: The Official Story of the Films<\/em>&nbsp;is the definitive guide to the making of Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks\u2019 Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. The first and only big-screen adaptations of the long-running TV series, the films, starring Peter Cushing as the titular time-traveller, are beloved by fans \u2013 and the Daleks, in glorious Technicolor, have never looked better.<\/p><p>Author and film expert John Walsh has unearthed a treasure trove of archive material, interviews and stunning artwork, and takes us through the whole process of translating the metal monsters from small screen to big. In-depth information on the production, design, casting and special effects is accompanied by full-colour illustrations, including props, posters, and behind-the-scenes photography \u2013 making it the perfect gift for fans of the films.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Who &amp; The Daleks &#8212; The Official Story of the Films<\/em>, written by John Walsh and published by Titan Books, is
