Daleks Return to Dr Who

Posted by Zonk on from the killllll-the-doktoooooorrrr dept.

Jim Hall writes "An article on the BBC says that a Dalek will return to Dr Who, in an episode titled simply 'Dalek'. The Doctor discovers that a Dalek has been collected by an unsuspecting billionaire. Many of the perceived weaknesses of the Daleks have been addressed: Stairs have not been a problem for Daleks since 1988, when they first levitated towards Sylvester McCoy in Remembrance of the Daleks. The new Dalek can also spin its torso independently of his head, so creeping up from behind is no longer an option. Its trademark 'sink plunger' attachment also reveals a terrifying new function. 'Dalek' is on BBC-1 on Saturday, 30 April."

    First it was a new Doctor Who that quit after one episode. Hey a new Doctor Who! Now they bring back an old enemy, the Dalek, now with fewer weaknesses so it doesn't suck so bad. Who knows, maybe Daleks run Linux now as their core OS and have a better vocabulary now?

    I wonder if the black suits are at the door now because of your dissent? I had a laugh anyway so remember that in jail when bubba is stroking your hair!
