At Home with the Daleks
Christopher Barry’s children are sharing items from a remarkable archive on the pages of DWM. Here they pay tribute to their father, a director who made a huge contribution to Doctor Who between 1963 and 1979.
The MUTANTs (AKA THE DALEKS)
In 1963, Christopher Barry played a key role in defining Doctor Who’s most enduring enemies.
THE RESCUE
Recently discovered documents from Barry’s second Doctor Who production reveal his meticulous working methods.
THE ROMANS
Christopher Barry’s next assignment presented him with a very different challenge: directing a black comedy with an historical setting…
THE SAVAGES
Christopher Barry gave The Savages a lot of care and attention. Maybe we should too.
THE POWER OF THE DALEKS
As the director who had done so much to launch the Daleks, and therefore Doctor Who itself, Christopher Barry was the obvious choice to oversee the creatures’ return in the series’ most ambitious relaunch…

FEATURES
THE DÆMONS
Christopher Barry channelled his enthusiasm for archaeology into a story now regarded as a classic of the Jon Pertwee era.
THE MUTANTS
In 1972, Christopher Barry pushed the boundaries of available technology and oversaw the most complex special effects shot yet seen in Doctor Who.
ROBOT
Christopher Barry was entrusted with another of the series’ landmarks when he directed the 1974-75 story that introduced Tom Baker’s mercurial Doctor.
The BRAIN OF MORBIUS
In 1975 Christopher Barry was initially reluctant to direct yet another Doctor Who story, but applied his customary vigour to a notoriously troubled script. The result was a Gothic masterpiece.
THE CREATURE FROM THE PIT
The last Doctor Who story that Christopher Barry directed was plagued with difficulties, not least of which was the realisation of its titular monster.
DOWNTIME
Christopher Barry revisited the world of Doctor Who with Downtime, an independent production first released on video in 1995. The story’s writer, Marc Platt, has fond memories of working with the director.
