There's only one Dalek in the 2011 series. A very brief appearance in the last episode, but it's there.

The point, however, is that this is a time travel series. From the Doctor's personal timeline he first met them long after their genesis, but later was in at their creation. So even if the Daleks were completely wiped out and assuming that they could not somehow come back, the Doctor could still encounter them elsewhere on their timeline.

BTW the multicoloured Daleks go way back, although not in the current bright primaries.

Here's a wall I remember seeing back in the eighties and it's still touring the UK

Couldn't find the sidecar one, but there's this http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=9775

Now if only I could find the film of the bloke in England who used to ride the wall of death with a lion (yes a real live lion) in the sidecar.

Why blame the makers of Rambo III for that bias? The US government were providing the Afgans with arms. In the early part of the current action in Afganistan US troups were facing an adversary that was still using US provided arms.

Well the last time I got threatened in Sheffield it was with a cricket bat and a pickaxe haft. Have the dee dars gone soft these days. Threatening people with a football indeed. You'd get laughed out of Manc for that sort of behaviour.

Y'know it's odd but there's a huge difference in what is expected in a halloween costume on opposite sides of the pond. Over here we expect them to be scary.

I think what really highlights how dangerous that stuff is are the injuries they are left with. I've seen any number of modern circus types acts do stuff that doesn't impress because there are no injuries. IOW you know it's just an illusion, just a variation on the old catching a bullet in your teeth sort of trick. These guys OTOH are bleeding real blood.

@thelibrarianne actually after all that the lady judge is may favourite part full stop. Forget the look of horror, she is lovely.

And when Bagpuss goes to sleep...

This is no dumber than most of the patents being used by tech companies to fight each other.

@Sarah O. the fact that the "doctor" is transgendered is relevant to the story. Simply because the biggest market for these "treatments" is among transgendered individuals.

@christine what do you have to back up your statement? Bear is mind that this sort of thing is surprisingly common and well documented.

In all seriousness this is an indiction of how screwed up public bodies have become.

Where I work whenever an accident occurs somebody has to fill in an accident assesment form. One of the questions is "What should be done to prevent similar accidents in future?".

Note that it doesn't say "Should any thing be done...." or "Could anything be done..." it starts from the assumption that not only can something be done, but it must be done. And why? Because the organisation are trying to cover their own butts.

Can you imagine if the motor vehicle didn't already exist and somebody invented it today? It would never make it to the roads because of all the risk assesments that would have to be carried out.

Look at the crushed car and note that there is no evidence than it is a Ferrari. Then look at what's in the coffee table. A few crumpled panels that don't seem to resemble anything in the photograph of the crushed car.

It might be nice to imagine that what we have here is a whole crushed Ferrari, but I'm more inclined to believe that the table contains a few crumpled panels from a completely different car. Maybe just the panels left over from a crash.

Given that a whole crushed Ferrari would weigh over a ton it would take some effort to het into your living room.

How much does a coffin actually cost though?

Lucas really would sell the rights to anybody with ready cash wouldn't he?
