Thread Name: BS: The Daleks are back
Subject: RE: BS: The Daleks are back
Daleks always struck me as animated dustbins with a bad attitude - and an equally bad case of boils. Mind, the aggressive attitude was at least understandable. There they are, minding their own business, not actually intending to dominate the universe. just looking for the bloke who invented the staircase.

Somebody mentioned a Dalek Morris side. I always thought the Cybermen would have been ideal for that. They even had the compulsory melodeon-like device stuck on their chests, and I can just see the Doctor and inappropriately clad female companion surrounded by a circle of Cybermen, closing in on them. Cut to frightened faces..... Fade out end of episode to crescendo of slightly ridiculous electronic music...... Start up new episode with close up of leading Cyberman grasping the sides of the aforesaid apparatus and pulling it apart, then striking up a Morris tune as all the other Cybermen start dancing round and hitting each other with sticks covered in silver paper while the Doctor and companion scream in terror.
