Size of the Dalek Crucible?

Post by ThePerson5 »

So I was wondering... just how big is the Dalek Crucible seen in Journey's End?

It says on the TARDIS Wiki that it is the size of a planet, but I am not sure if this is true or not.

Well seeing as a planet can be anything from Mercury to Jupiter and Saturn, what do you mean you're not sure?
It looks pretty planet sized to me. Small, but planet sized.
How big are those saucers?

Here is the Dalek saucer compared to stonehenge.

There may be some problems with perspective however.

A good way to scale the Crucible is when a squadron of Dalek saucers land at the end of one of the Crucible's docking arms (one of the saucers was taking in Sarah Jane Smith, Mickey, and a few others as prisoners). The Crucible is comparatively tiny in relation to the first Death Star.

No, but it was an external shot of the Crucible that cut to SJS, Mickey, and others being herded down a corridor by Dalek guards.

I'll try to find it.

EDIT: Um, it was Journey's End right? Because I'm not seeing it.

You can also compare the Dalek saucers with Spitfires. Victory for the Daleks might have some use for scaling.

More difficult, because the spitfires are moving around, though re-watching the scene it seems to be roughly equal with the screenshot I posted.
