I have a goal for life. To save the unwanted Daleks of the world. Any size any condition and I will look after them. Use them or lose them and never abuse them.

For those of you who have followed my
#Davros
journey.
I have never broken cover before but today I feel like I must say something that's truly from the heart and I can't do that unless you know who I am and what makes me who I am.
This may well be a very long post.

It's very hard to sum up this moment for me. Building this
#Davros
has been the challenge of my life. Everything worked, nothing broke and he is ready to take on the Universe.
Emotional and exhausted but I couldn't be happier.

Davros has personally saved my mental health. It has brought me and those who have met him joy that I could never adequately explain, but he means the Universe to me.
I will not go quietly into the night.
I will continue
I AM DAVROS!

I've had a rest day today, I've done nothing at all. It's a weird experience but I think I needed it.
So many thanks for all the kind words and support for

Here's another little video of last night in Cleveleys. I'll be posting them all week... sorry.

Evil comes in all forms, all races, all genders, all abilities, and all disabilities.
We cannot stand by and allow the cancellation of something for fear of offence that actually doesn't exist.
I know very few of you made it this far into my rant, but I'm nearly done.

This particular change, however, comes in response to an issue that just doesn't exist. This rewriting of Davros is an attempt to fix the portrayal of a character who was not problematic in the first place.

Loved because he is very much a part of the history of the show and his appearances are always special.
Not once have I met a disabled person who was offended by me.
So many have simply said I want a chair just like that.
This "associating disability with evil" is all in his head

"Davros is a wheelchair user who is evil"
Well firstly I can argue all day that his life support module is not a wheelchair because it isn't. Just for argument sake let's say it is.
In a bizarre quirk of fate I work in disability

that "time, society, culture & taste has moved on." If there's one thing that is clear to me, it's that all these things have got worse. There is more hate and division, worse taste & precious little time to do anything about it. More and more we live in a world where we are told

The Russell T Davies interview regarding his thoughts on Davros and I feel compelled to speak. Even if my words do not reach many and do not change anything, I can't simply ignore what I fundamentally disagree with. In the interview he states

In my many appearances in public, I have also met loads of disabled people, and whether it be through the work I do or the events I attend, I always get the same response. Sometimes fear, very often shock but always joy. Not because Davros is nice but because he is loved.

A hastily done video of
#Davros
. Whilst not yet finished it's almost there.
It's a landmark day though because he is driveable and everything works.
I'm mentally shattered but elated. Stay tuned this week if you want to see him for real in Cleveleys during testing.

How to think, how to act, how to live your life by people in positions of considerable privilege that have precious little idea of what it's like to actually do it. They tell us what the world should look like to further their agenda of making a world that exists on their terms.

On a daily basis I help disabled people to lead the more independent life they desperately want to have without pity or favour. I understand what they go through and due to my particular understanding of Davros the subject has a tendency to come up quite regularly.

The Children in Need special to me was a delight. A small mini episode of another way to see the Genesis of the Daleks bringing back Julian Bleach in a semi comedic way was both amusing and dark. Julian certainly stole the show and I really enjoyed it. I have subsequently seen

A bit like Davros, I suppose you could say.
I believe Davies approach to writing this "new" Davros comes from a place of compassion. Inclusivity in art and media is something that should be encouraged and celebrated.

#Davros
has finished the prototype.
Not quite as I imagined but pretty close. The burning question is do I spend the next year or so building the full size real thing that in my mind is the most challenging thing I'll probably ever attempt?
Your thoughts please

The human world is not always the easiest place to travel.

would just like to ask those of you who may work in planning to be somewhat more considerate.
We need wider doors and flatter surfaces so we can EXTERMINATE you more efficiently.

wanted to thank everyone who interacted this weekend with my and others' comments. You can't fix anything without a conversation.
People will be cruel regardless of the existence of Davros.
People are the problem.
Always have been.
Always will be.

Here's a picture of
#Davros
from his first ever event.
I was terrified
I needn't have been
It was amazing, and everyone who saw me either had a great big smile on their face or a look of terror followed by a request for a picture.
Davros brings joy, that's all.

Boring,
Go away amateur,
Looks ridiculous,
I would rather watch my cat take a dump on my couch,
A bit dated,
Lame,
Looks like Priti Patel.
These are just a few of the nice comments I've received about my new
#Davros
on various platforms. How would you describe him?

This is my Dad with me and my brother
He passed away this morning and I'm glad he didn't suffer too long.
Spare a thought for him today if you can or anyone in the same position and feel free to LIKE because it's hard to know how to react to these things.

has loosely added the bigger panels to his model and thought you'd like to see.
1:5 in scale for reference.
56 armoured domes still to attach and some more work on the top but he's starting to get the look I wanted.
Full scale will be much better

My very first

event.
This is when I first felt that I was a small part of a bigger community. It made me so happy, and everywhere I turned somebody smiled at me.
I still maintain that these two cheated after challenging me to a race.
#Davros
brings joy, that's all.

Thanks to all who've said something nice to me about

. To be clear I'm not upset by the bad comments but merely amused at the lack of intelligence shown by some (the vast minority by the way).
I'm strong enough to take a few poorly chosen words.

#Davros
has decided he will continue despite some recent doubts.
I could talk all day about it, but I've decided enough is enough, and I will go forward with my nonsense and building my machines for as long as it's possible to do so.
ALL HAIL DAVROS!

Electrical connections and lights are the next plan.

This my final post of the Test drive I did in Cleveleys with my new

I met David Boyle last night, he used to manage the Doctor who museum in Blackpool and many other great events. He looked at me with a passion and enthusiasm I have never seen before in anyone. Please RETWEET this so his family might see it and pass on my thanks and admiration.

It's
#Davros
day.
Tonight 9.30pm Cleveleys Victoria Road at the tram tracks to the Promenade.
If you live nearby ‐ Blackpool, Fleetwood, Poulton or further afield why not come and see his very first test drive.
Personally I'm terrified.

More footage of
#Davros
in Cleveleys. He's just arrived back at the Sanctuary ready for the final jobs I have to do to get him 100% ready for conventions.
I haven't considered where to take him yet but I'm open for suggestions.
Any ideas?

For the record in my opinion
I do not drive a wheelchair.
"Evil" is not a word I define myself with.
The incidents in my life are what define me and I celebrate who I am without shame or apology.
I am not disabled I am

The full episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed is available on iPlayer, but we thought it was important to share Russell T Davies’ comments on accessibility and the portrayal of Davros.

I've just got out of

Firstly,

hopes everyone enjoys it tonight.
I was really looking forward to it.
I just can't help feeling like all my friends are going to a party and not only was I not invited but I was actually told I wouldn't be welcome.

In a week of firsts for

he went outside today for the first time.
He's a little more unstable than I'd hoped and I'm still not sure how driveable he is but I'm committed now so there's no turning back.

6 days work and more than a few technical issues but

I hope you like it.

#Davros
had to give Davros a few driving lessons before letting him loose on the unsuspecting public.
He did a great job but has a little way to go before we go for Strictly auditions.

After some considerable thought

WORLD PREMIER ANNOUNCEMENT
Saturday 17th of July
I'll be testing my new

This is the most important aspect of my

Without this I can't get to the events at all. It was destroyed at my last event
