OTT
Number Two: Colonel Archer
OK, being exterminated by a Dalek hurts. I get that. Having
every single one of my cells disrupted by a laser is not high on my list of
ways I would like to die. Mind you, that list is quite short, consisting solely of the word 'Never'.
The Dalek that kills Colonel Archer in
Resurrection of the Daleks must have had a black-market gunstick enhancement designed
to cause more pain. It’s the only way to explain why Archer twists and contorts
like his interpretation of a geography teacher attempting Madonna’s Vogue. Whatever his intention, he successfully redefines the boundaries of experimental dance. I quite like the soldier who appears to die by slipping on a banana skin too.
However, you have to hand it to actor Del Henney. In a story
with a huge death toll, his end is the most entertaining and memorable.
