3	[[JustForFun/TheOneWith The one where]] [[Creator/BernardCribbins Wilfred]] shows up a few decades early.

5	''Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.'' is the 1966 sequel to ''Film/DrWhoAndTheDaleks''. The film follows in its predecessor's footsteps: Creator/PeterCushing is Dr. Who, the Daleks are being nefarious and the whole thing is in colour!

7	Just as the first film was a remake of the TV story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks The Daleks]]", this is a remake of the second Dalek story [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth "The Dalek Invasion of Earth"]]. In it, the Daleks have invaded Earth and are planning to excavate the core and turn the planet into a giant spaceship. Luckily, Dr. Who is on hand to save the day with help from his granddaughter Susan, his niece Louise, and a policeman named Tom Campbell.

9	Has nothing to do with ''VideoGame/Earth2150''.

11	----
12	!!''Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.'' provides examples of the following tropes:
13	* ActorAllusion: The original trailer describes Creator/RayBrooks as "The boy with the knack". Brooks starred in ''Film/TheKnackAndHowToGetIt''.
14	* AdaptationalWimp: Louise is significantly less badass than Barbara was in the TV story, with some of Barbara's most impressive moments given to the rebel Wyler.
15	* AlienInvasion: Guess who!
16	* AlternateContinuity: Let us count the ways!
17	** The character of the Time Lord known as The Doctor has become the human scientist called Dr. Who.
18	** He has a niece as well as a granddaughter.
19	** Susan is prepubescent.
20	** His ship is known as ''Tardis'' (note the lack of the definitive article) and looks like a jumbled mess inside (even moreso than the canon TARDIS).
21	* ApocalypticLogistics: The {{Black Market}}er Brockley exchanges food for valuables left in the abandoned towns, never mind that the latter would be worthless.
22	* CardboardPrison: Invoked by the Daleks as an intelligence test for captives.
23	* LesCollaborateurs: Susan and Wyler meet two women living near the mine who do work for the Daleks. The women take them into their home, but betray them to the Daleks in exchange for extra food.
24	* CompressedAdaptation: From six 25-minute episodes (174 minutes) to one 81-minute film. And the ending introduces us to the new companion. One notable effect is that the Doctor and David are able to walk from UsefulNotes/{{London}} to Bedfordshire in the same time it takes the Daleks' spaceship to fly there.
25	* DoomAsTestPrize: The Doctor escapes a Dalek cell only to discover that the opportunity to escape was provided to test whether he was intelligent enough to be turned into a Roboman.
26	* DressingAsTheEnemy: David dresses up as a Roboman and leads a group of rebels aboard the Dalek Saucer in a TrojanPrisoner gambit.
27	* FailedASpotCheck: Our heroes walk out the door, closing it behind them to reveal a message written on the door.
28	* FoodPills: The Robomen are fed something like these.
29	* HandGagging: Happens to Louise several times in the movie. The [[EuropeansAreKinky Italian advertising]] even added an image of a Roboman doing it to her onto the poster.
30	* HandWave: See the explanation for the TARDIS interior in the last movie? The Doctor manages to out-BS ''that''. Space, of course, cannot be the "fifth dimension" because space is already the first, second and third dimensions!
31	-->'''Dr. Who:''' Just as time should be considered the fourth dimension, so Space should be the fifth dimension, for Space knows no boundaries and is timeless.
32	* HeyYouHaymaker: At the end of the movie, Tom taps the driver of the getaway car on the shoulder through the open window, then punches him the face and knocks him out when he turns round.
33	* HighlyConspicuousUniform: The Robomen, dressed in drab jumpsuits on television, wear shiny black latex jumpsuits and crash-helmet things.
34	* LookBehindYou: Dr. Who uses this to distract all the Daleks in the room.
35	* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Tom has to pretend to be a Roboman. Played largely for laughs.
36	* ProductPlacement: Sugar Puffs helped finance the film. '''It shows.'''
37	* PromotedToLoveInterest: Inverted. As a consequence of Susan being a little girl in this version instead of a teenager, the movie drops the romantic subplot and David becomes just another rebel.
38	* ResistanceIsFutile: "PEOPLE OF LONDON. SHOW YOURSELVES IN THE STREETS!"
39	* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Brockley leads the Daleks to the hut where the Dr Who is hiding, then has an OhCrap when only one Dalek escorts the prisoner away while the remainder remain pointing their weapons at him. He flees into the hut [[AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade which is easily destroyed]] by the lethal fire extinguisher thingies.
40	* RockBeatsLaser: During the assault on the Dalek saucer, Wyler knocks out a Roboman who is armed with a laser by hitting him in the head with a brick.
41	* SlasherSmile: Creator/PhilipMadoc's character has one.
42	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Louise and Tom replace Barbara and Ian.
43	* ATasteOfTheLash: The Robomen use whips on the slaves working in the mine.
44	* TrojanPrisoner: David [[DressingAsTheEnemy dresses up as a Roboman]] and leads a group of rebels aboard the Dalek Saucer disguised as a group of prisoners.
45	* WhipOfDominance: The Robomen are the main enforcers to the Dalek invaders, and carry whips to both control the enslaved population and as weapons when dealing with the rebels during the assault on the saucer. Ironically the Robomen themselves are SlaveMooks who went through UnwillingRobotization.
46	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Creator/PhilipMadoc's character is "rewarded" by the Daleks with extermination.
