The Daleks are back in Doctor Who, but something’s changed
The Daleks are back in Doctor Who, but something’s changed.
The new look Daleks were exclusively revealed on the Radio Times website, you can see a whole host of images on their site Here.
BBC newsbeat also have a few new images from Victory of the Daleks Here
Coming this Saturday from The Doctor Who Site – Victory of the Daleks – The Game…
In this week’s Radio Times:
Election fever has reached Radio Times: The Daleks are back in technicolour and this week’s Radio Times has three different Dalek covers – red, blue and yellow, like the three main political parties.
Writer Mark Gatiss explains his fascination with Daleks and explores their timeless appeal.
Plus, Radio Times takes an exclusive first look into the BBC’s online archive to find out its top Doctor Who secrets
An online BBC Archive project allows the first ever access to audience research reports on previous Time Lords from John Pertwee to Sylvester McCoy. Radio Times went to find out more.
And an interview with Gordon Brown including a quickfire round of questions about topics such as Doctor Who:
Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet?
“Hamlet [with David Tennant]. I saw it recently.”
John Pertwee, Tom Baker, David Tennant or Matt Smith?
“I think you know what I’m going to say here. Yes. David Tennant is the best.”

I think the new skittle daleks (as i like to call them) are awful. I think we should go back to Terry Nation’s original Daleks

When I saw the episode Victory to Daleks it was a bit of change of those robots.
Posted by: dylan May 18th, 2010
In my opinion, the new daleks are great. But it does’nt look like the new team (producers etc…) are as good as RTD and julie (whas her name). But i do love the new series!!
Posted by: Dalek Icecream April 25th, 2010
The new dalek colours are all right although i would of prefered them to use mettallic paint but the new design is soo bad!!!
Posted by: philb100 April 24th, 2010
It looks to me like the new Daleks can be made by vacuum forming plastic I assume to cut costs. the problem is they look like vacuum formed plastic, cheap and nasty and to add insult to injury the proportions are all off. they look awful to me.
Posted by: Paul Morris April 20th, 2010
What a spoiler. On Wednesday the RT comes out. So its no suprise they appear on Saturday. Stupid idea to have them on RT cover. New Dalek tubbies, are terrible.
Posted by: Mr Nostalgia April 20th, 2010
Just compare them over the years: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9019/dalekdesign.jpg
It’s quite clear in comparison that the new ones are utterly, utterly dreadful.

@Last of the Timelords
yes but in any 1 episode there has only really been a 1st in command (maybe a 2nd in command too) and then the army but now there are more like a tatical squad which dosen’t make sense as daleks are the same so a drone dalek should be able to do the job of a strategist in exactly the same way and vise versa so there is no point to them. Also I liked it when they were all gold, it showed that they were supreme while showing that they are emotionless and all the same creature.
Posted by: Eorann April 18th, 2010
I wish the old version of David and the Daliaks.The new ones are rubbish.
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 17th, 2010
Why doesn’t everyone calm down, the Daleks have come in so many colours over the years:
Silver and Blue
Dark Grey and Black
Light Grey and Black
Silver and Black
Black and White
Gold and Black
Red and Gold
Black
Bronze
Khaki
Black, Silver and Blue
Black and Blue
White and Gold
There are loads…so just cool it!

I really wished two things about those big “boxy” coloured Daleks.
1: That they dont exist or will not be appearing in the actual episode and are not actually real or canonical.
2: That if by such great misfortune they are appearing in the episode, which I will be seeing tonight, that I hadnt seen this page, bit of a spoiler. Ahh sigh.
Posted by: sylar sec April 17th, 2010
I Hate them.Why would a species that hate anything with emotion have coloured daleks anyway? and yes I know it is for their ranks but why not just have different tags and I thought all daleks were the same so shouldn’t any dalek be able to think on their own without relying on a rainbow team of daleks. Seriously one emperor should be enough for their army and wouldn’t daleks that were created by davros himself be more pure than a load of freak daleks and why change a thing everyone loves to stupid freak that looks like it cost them 5p to make.
Posted by: booboo April 17th, 2010
I know how you feel we got slated for out Dalek drawings but as people can now see they 100% accurate.
Posted by: CG April 17th, 2010
And all the apologies can start to roll in now. If only you lot know what it is like working down here in Cardiff.
With the shouts of F### RTD its mine now and my vision. Charming I can tell you
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 17th, 2010
I’ve just watched the episode, and they look brilliant. There are no more “old” Daleks. Those new ones exterminated them. Not exactly fair.
Posted by: koquillion April 17th, 2010
@ CG
I don’t theorise on these things as it’s pointless to try and second-guess what the writers have come up with. Based on the facts I know about these ‘nu-daleks’(a few stills in a few TV listings mags), I can’t form a proper opinion and can’t until I see them on screen, but I do agree that from what I’ve seen they look a bit odd. Not bad, odd. (Odd is the new good for me the Moff era) They still look very much like Daleks though and it is good to know that when they do invade, they will be busy mowing down and suckering the faces off people who just laugh at them, giving me time to be on my toes to safety!! Thanks for making the ultimate sacrifice.
“especially in this day of advanced kids who expect more then a leap in to the past.” Just who are these terrifying super beings who are unable to accept history and why are they bothering to watch an updated version of a TV show from 1963 if it doesn’t meet their digitally enhanced expectations? The “advanced kids” in my family have been nothing but complimentary about the first two episodes of Moff’s era and love Matt as the Doctor (“he’s the best since Tom” says one 9 year old, bravely ignoring his owns generation inability to see past the present and leaping to a past he was not even part of to form his own valid 21st century opinion now). I firmly believe that it will take more than a few jelly baby coloured Daleks and a St.Johns Ambulance badge to change that.

@CG
im 14 and ive luved dr who since i was like 3. i have to admit that i was more of a fan of old who in the RTD era. many pepo i know who have watched old who are more of a fan of that than RTDs who
those who became fans of the show in the 21st centuary only became a fan because it came back in 2005
also dr who has many meanings and one is dr who= change
Posted by: CG April 16th, 2010
To Koquillion
No i would not (and did not) say that back in 2005. Who HAD to change then to be in with a chance of working. RTD did and made the right choices, by looking at things like Buffy and other shows that Who needed to compete with (on a world wide scale)and making Doctor Who into the huge hit it is today.
Things have to progress, regressing to the past can be a dangerous thing to do, especially in this day of advanced kids who expect more then a leap in to the past.
With these new Daleks I have a theory that they will be the ‘leaders’ of each division, and that the ‘RTD’ gold Daleks will be the fighting force. At least that is what I hope. If i saw one of those coloured ones heading my way I think I would laugh. They do not look threatening at all. Now the gold ones on the other hand you can beleive and see the menace in them.

@koqullion
good point
also the peter cushing movies were one of my favourite things of dr who
at the end of the day doctor who is doctor who, nothing drastic changes.

@ CG,
“Moffat is intent on making this new series a rehash of the Cushing movies. TARDIS exterior first and now the Daleks. What next?”
not so long ago would you have posted:
RTD is intent on making this new series a rehash of the Cushing movies. Tardis interior (with police box doors visible on the inside, just like the movies) and now Bernard Cribbins flying about in the TARDIS. What next?
I’m not being petty here, just pointing out that elements from the movies have been used before and will probably be used in the future. Like using a movie Dalek in “Day of the Daleks”…..
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 16th, 2010
On the point of the slats not being there. If you look back to the original Daleks, they never had them. It may be because of them only being able to run on metal back then but still.
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 16th, 2010
On the point of the slats not being there. If you look back to the original Daleks, they never had them.
Posted by: dr what April 15th, 2010
the daleks can travel without slats because they have bigger base like the 60s daleks
Posted by: TC April 15th, 2010
But the ratings aren’t declining. They were down from the week before but it was still the most watched show of the day with an AI index of 86 (excellent). Just because the total number of viewers might be lower doesn’t mean it’s declining. You have to look at it as a whole.
Posted by: Cushy Dalek April 15th, 2010
I love the designs. Anyone resiting this 1960s back-to-basics fun approach can stop moaning or stop watching,
As for the declining ratings, the BBC arent concerned with the ratings for DW these days.
Posted by: CG April 15th, 2010
To evitc
Thanks for the apology. I only ever put down facts on these things as i know how petty people can get sometimes.
Facts are facts. Undeniable and true.
They still look crap though. Moffat is intent on making this new series a rehash of the Cushing movies. TARDIS exterior first and now the Daleks. What next?
Posted by: The Hub April 15th, 2010
I thought the slats were supposed to be the Daleks solar power source, perhaps they have a new idea now.
Posted by: TC April 15th, 2010
So, the new colors are indicative of their position: Supreme, Scientist, Strategist, etc. Makes sense.
@ derek:
Who says they have to have slats? Their technology can advance and improve. Heck, before 2005′s “Dalek” they didn’t have personal force fields, nor could their entire top half rotate.
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 15th, 2010
For all those who want to know, the colour schemes goes as such:
Red Daleks=Drones
Orange Daleks=Scientists
Blue Daleks=Strategists
White Dalek=Supreme Dalek
Yellow Dalek=Eternal Dalek
Posted by: geoff April 15th, 2010
ha ha ha…..chubby daleks….
Posted by: derek April 15th, 2010
Has any one noticed the lack of slats?
I think the design looks cool.
But how can the daleks have complete mobility without slats????
Thats just confusing.

To be fair this did look like i was an election mock up at first, many people have taken some convincing that these colours are genuine.
Posted by: evitc April 15th, 2010
i deeply apologise to CG for accusing you of lieing i have seen the magazine and its pretty clear that they are going to be in it i think it was just my way of refusing to admit the daleks were going to look like this sorry.
however there will only be 5 of these desighn daleks to begin with.
Posted by: Alfie April 15th, 2010
They must be in the episode, as the white version was seen in the trailer.
And I agree about the Daleks looking like Power Rangers, red, yellow, blue, green and white. Did they ever do a season with that color arrangement?
Posted by: the 1st doctor April 15th, 2010
I think the (as I call them) ‘Power Ranger’ daleks are good weather or not they are in the episode.

Posted by: Jazpyy April 15th, 2010
Disscusions and opinions are almost just as important than the actual show itself in a way, fan speculation, anitcicpation, dissapointment,thats why websites like these have comment sections. I agree that people need to see them in action first, but its not the actual episode its the visual impact of the reveal, and there is no denying that they look very different. People are not happy and some are.
Posted by: booboo April 14th, 2010
CG, there is no need for scans, I have seen the coloured Daleks and not from any magazine, unfortunately you will never convince everyone because of the way the RT have gone about showing them, this argument is going on all over the internet at the moment.
You know you are right and that’s all that matters really
I think we need to leave this alone now.
Posted by: CG April 14th, 2010
Right i have scanned the cover of Tv and Satilite week how can i attach it here
Posted by: CG April 14th, 2010
To evitc
Just look at the cover of the latest TV and Satilite week, they are there with Matt Smith. Then you can apologise to me!!!!
Posted by: dr what April 14th, 2010
the red and the blue etc daleks are going to be in the episode
Posted by: booboo April 14th, 2010
No one can show the photos as they are out of bounds until the appropriate time.
The best thing to do is watch the episode, then you will see.
Posted by: evitc April 14th, 2010
to CG when the rest of the world see these images we will beleive you but at the moment with absalutely no evidence im sorry to say it is quite hard to beleive your point, all i have seen is a khaki coloured dalek a bronze dalek and a white dalek dome and three daleks on a magazine which clearly say election special. i am sorry to sound rude but instead of telling us about these images tell us where to find them.
Posted by: booboo April 14th, 2010
No one is forcing you to play it, its just a bit of fun.
Posted by: derek April 14th, 2010
theres also a new series dalek thats colored silver with blue hemispheres like the 60s version.
Posted by: MPfor flydale north April 14th, 2010
… So the Dalek game should be pretty lame, right? I mean nothing on Earth can kill a Dalek (well, unless the Doctor is on Earth), so the game would just be a Dalek going around destroying everything. Which sounds fun for a while, but….
Posted by: CG April 14th, 2010
To evitc
So all the tv listings books showing stills of the multi coloured Daleks with Matt Smith and obviously taken from the epiosde is all one big joke then… Think not. Interviews, pictures from the episode all point to the FACT that the Daleks are being made into a multi coloured hash up…
Posted by: itc April 14th, 2010
9. There are not only army-coloured Daleks, but multi-coloured Daleks too.
the multi-coloured ones are refering to the union jack coloured one which is supposedly appearing in the episode.
Posted by: the 1st doctor April 14th, 2010
I like the ‘Power Ranger’ Daleks
Posted by: the 1st doctor April 14th, 2010
Digital Spy’s ten teasers for the episode:
1. Some time has elapsed between episodes.
2. The ‘Daleks’ are known as ‘Ironsides’ and were apparently the invention of Professor Edwin Bracewell (guest star Bill Paterson).
3. The Ironsides are completely harmless beings and have the ultimate aim of helping the British, under the guidance of Winston Churchill (guest star Ian McNeice), to win the war.
4. Hailing from the 21st Century, Amy knows all about the Daleks, right? Right?!
5. Winston really wants something from The Doctor.
6. “We shall return to *** *** **** and ***** *****.”
7. Amy: “Ever fancied someone you know you shouldn’t?”
8. Star Wars.
9. There are not only army-coloured Daleks, but multi-coloured Daleks too.
10. Mmmm. Anyone fancy a Jammie Dodger?

A well, we will wait till Saturday
I have some picture here that say otherwise and i really wish i could show them to you all but i cant, not at the moment.
The pictures are from a time long before the election was called.
Posted by: evitc April 14th, 2010
the other coloured ones are just to promote the election , its like a little joke with the daleks blowing up london it sort of represents the dissilution of parliment and the general election trust me.
Posted by: booboo April 14th, 2010
As Cg says they are all definitely in the episode Red White Blue Yellow and more you haven’t seen yet.
I saw the Red White and Blue ones weeks ago, long before we knew this would coincide with an election campaign.
Posted by: CG April 14th, 2010
To JR
so how come they appear in stills from the episode in other TV listings books. Notably TV & Satelite Weekly. Also various interviews with Mark Gatiss say that the colur ones ARE in the episode.
Posted by: JR April 14th, 2010
@All.
Only the white dalek will feature in the episode. These colour daleks are not to denote rank, but to denote political affiliation. Red for labour, blue for tory. It’s just an ‘election fever’ thing. The coloured daleks are photomanipulations of the white one. I’m aware that there ARE colours for daleks. But these are just special manipulations for the RT: that is all.
Posted by: CG April 14th, 2010
To evitc, Nope they are clearly seen in stills from the episode. The Daleks are full colour traveties of there former selfs.
I think the last thing on the minds of a race hell bent on domination is a gaudy colur scheme.
The gold daleks looked the part, you could really see the evil intent and brashness of that race in that design.
Moffat is intent on turning the show into the Peter Cushing movies (which are NOT canon)he is quoted as saying that is where the new outer design for the TARDIS was from.
Posted by: booboo April 14th, 2010
I think everything is taking a different direction, to be honest a lot of the changes are no more radical than in 2005, I mean just look how much the Tardis console changed for the classic series. The series needs bold and fresh ideas to keep the interest alive – and its certainly doing that.
I think when we actually see these Daleks in Action a lot of people views views may change.
Posted by: Dalek Pepper April 14th, 2010
I think the doctor who producers are cutting down the cost of production since monsters and props look like they are getting cheaper. Does anyone else agree with me?
Posted by: the doctor’s adventures April 14th, 2010
If that is what the Daleks look like in VICTORY OF THE DALEKS they will be a remade monster like the Cybermen in Doctor Who 2006 when they came back as a remade monster the Daleks look really good on the front of the Radio Times the Broonze Daleks are good but these three look brilliant.
Posted by: Zippy April 14th, 2010
@Joe, not quite a million but you will get a few
Posted by: evitc April 14th, 2010
i have done some research lol and obviously i havent found out much but apparently this new desighn will only feature on one dalek which is the white one and the others will remain the same for now. whether or not this is just to introduce them slowly to see wether the audience likes them but for now there is just the one.
Posted by: Ray April 14th, 2010
Unlike previous Daleks these don’t look man made, they look the real deal.
I just wish they could have held of with the big reveal until sat
Posted by: Lance April 14th, 2010
All i can say if this lot had burst onto my TV screen when i was 12 i would have absolutely loved it, I think they look fabulous and so refreshing to have a complete change. Roll on Saturday
Posted by: here come the drums…… April 14th, 2010
@Anonymous
there is a red, yellow and blue dalek.
they all represnt different sort of ranks like:
white= supreme etc.
and theyre maybe a silver dalek version of the RTD daleks
Posted by: TC April 14th, 2010
@ CG:
And compared to the overall ratings for that day it was still high and had an Appreciation Index of 86, which is considered excellent.
Posted by: Anonymous April 13th, 2010
I think everyone is taking this too far. The “new” daleks are obviously re-coloured versions of the new white dalek for the election. On the link to the radio times page the red dalek cover and the white dalek pic are the same dalek (except for the colour) and it says their “showing their true colours in OUR election special”
Posted by: dr what April 13th, 2010
i think they look great its brining the daleks up to date its beter than those ugly gold ones
Posted by: elliestardis April 13th, 2010
i am really annoyed , i walked into a shop a few weeks ago only to find the new tardis interior on the cover which ruined the suprise and now the new daleks on this cover which has ruined it again for people who want to find out as their watching the episodes lol
Posted by: mjmorgan April 13th, 2010
they look ok but the RTD era ones were better
Posted by: CG April 13th, 2010
to – here come the drums
Only when it is for the better. If it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.
From the Eleventh Hour to the Beast Below it lost 4 million viewers (according to the figures) speaks for itself really!!!!
Posted by: booboo April 13th, 2010
I saw these about 2 months ago by accident so i knew there was defiantly a red white and blue one and had suspicions about a yellow one but there is also another colour, they all defiantly appear in the episode.
I think a lot of people , understandably, thought these were a mock up for the election but there definitely not.
as for the design, it is so different it was bound to cause controversy but they look great the image of the white one I have seen.

OK calm down about Steven Moffat. And today I did see a TV magazine showing a picture of one red, one yellow and one white dalek. I only thought what I wrote before because on the link to the Radio Times website, they said that the covers were designed for the General Election.
Posted by: booboo April 13th, 2010
yes this is them, there is a white one as well (and another colour)

Posted by: CG April 13th, 2010
I think Moffatt is intent on ruining the show. It is like he is saying to RTD ##ss off. Its mine now so s###w the lot of you.
The Daleks remind me of the old toys you used to be able to get that looked like Daleks but wern’t. Terrible terrible choice of design. The RTD era Daleks looked like they could kick ass, these look like they would be better suited with feather dusters instead of plunger and gun!!!
First the mess that is the theme music, now the Daleks, what next!!!
Moffatt you say you are a fan, then stop acting like someone that does not care and listen.

There is apparently a small chance of there being a blue and red one to go with the British theme, but I doubt it highly. And according to this webiste there might be an orange one but I seriously doubt that as well.

that makes me feel alot better if they are only white then i will cope with the wierd shape.
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 12th, 2010
Oh, and by the way everyone, the Daleks that have been coloured Yellow, Blue and Red aren’t actually going to be used in the episode. It will only be the white that will be used. They have been coloured Yellow, Blue and Red because of the General Election. Yellow for Liberal Democrats, Blue for Conservatives and Red for Labour. IT IS JUST THE WHITE ONE!

does that mean lots of dalek action figures like different colours and army one maybe the gold one seen in screen shots =]
Posted by: BooBoo April 12th, 2010
you need to wait till you see them in action, i have heard the story is brilliant.
Posted by: TC April 12th, 2010
Hm, interesting… Not a completely radical redesign, but then the Daleks are one of those icons from the show you wouldn’t want to tamper with too much.
And to those who’ve complained, yes you can have your opinion, but stop to think a minute first.
A) The redesign could from a practical standpoint, give the operator inside more room.
B) This could be a one story deal and we never see these Daleks again. We just don’t know yet.
It certainly doesn’t merit a reaction like ‘Ugh, it’s ruined and I’m never watching again.’

NOOOOO please no, I HATE them. They are tacky, nasty and not nice at all. I have loved the daleks with a passion since I can remember, and now they just died.

Cool! Movie Daleks!
Posted by: Peter April 12th, 2010
Love them or hate them, this episode is going to be fantastic, I predict the best Dalek story since time began
Posted by: YT April 12th, 2010
I think we need to wait and see them on screen, I think they are going to look awesome in action.
Posted by: Last of the Timelords April 12th, 2010
I wouldn’t say they are too bad, the back sticking out is a bit odd but everything in the show is changing, so this is just a futuristic impression on Doctor Who. I like it.
Posted by: Charlie April 12th, 2010
Ergh! They’ve got hunchbacks! Why stray so far from an excellent design?
Posted by: The Yellow Dalek April 12th, 2010
I really wish there had been kept under wraps until the episode airs – unless there is something even bigger we don’t know about
Posted by: ghgh April 12th, 2010
i do actually agree they dont look kothat bad apart from the fact there like really wide and i hate the colours
Posted by: Robert April 12th, 2010
The new daleks are cool yet wierd because they have very thick wepon holders
Posted by: someone April 12th, 2010
some daleks are the ones similar to 2005 but there are new ones as well, how does that work? i guess we have to find out in about 5 days.
Posted by: ghgh April 12th, 2010

Not just the daleks are coming back! the cybermen are too!
Posted by: drwho number1 fan April 12th, 2010
i think davros is coming back. ‘coz when theres a new type of dalek theres davros. davros is the creator of all differnt types of daleks
Posted by: dr what April 12th, 2010
some are new design but some of them are the same
Posted by: Joe April 12th, 2010
I like them. they would be better if they didnt have their back ends sticking out so much. so mixed ideas.
Posted by: AlphaOmega April 12th, 2010
Ooh dear…not sure about these ones…
Posted by: booboo April 12th, 2010
We only did the three.
Posted by: the 1st doctor April 12th, 2010
Wheres the yellow Dalek?
Posted by: SL April 12th, 2010
They look a bit tacky..
I was expecting great things from Victory but to included daleks that look like they have been made on Blue Peter is a gigantic let down, I hope they appear better on screen
Posted by: The New Daleks April 12th, 2010
Oh my, there is a blue one red one white one and a yellow one, they are totally different
Posted by: the 1st doctor April 12th, 2010
The colour schemes remind me of The Movie Daleks from ‘Dr Who and The Daleks’
Posted by: James April 12th, 2010
I cant wait to see them. this all sound awesome
Posted by: AlphaOmega April 12th, 2010
In the words of the Daleks themselves:
“What is hap-pen-ing!?”
Posted by: Davros the 4th April 12th, 2010
Does this mean we are going to get to see the new Daleks?
Posted by: weeping angels April 12th, 2010
