Giving Daleks so much dialogue was clearly a bad idea. Good Dalek banter can be written. You just have to make them the cattiest bitches ever who have massive egos. Daleks can deliver one liners.

Burke and Hare case is a dark and sordid tale, but I can see why it was remade as a dark comedy. Brits by nature just have the potential to do both at once.

I somehow knew the basics of the whole Burke and Hare murder stuff through cultural osmosis I guess. I don't think I ever saw a movie or documentary about it.
I somehow got that Burke was executed cause Hare turned evidence on him. But Hare ultimately didn't get away with it. Dr Knox survived rather scathed but still working in the doctoring sphere. I just thought he went on to not be an asshole after this... but everyone involved in this was shit.
