Doctor Who Radio Times Cover
In this week’s Radio Times – on sale today – when asked if the Doctor will face his most dastardly opponents again, Steven Moffat says:
“Oh yes, the Daleks. Actually, they aren’t going to make an appearance for a while.” What? “Yes, we thought it was about time to give them a rest. There’s a problem with the Daleks.” How come? I thought they were invincible.
“They are the most famous of the Doctor’s adversaries and the most frequent,” explains Moffat. “Which means they are the most reliably defeatable enemies in the universe. They have been defeated by the Doctor about 400 times. Surely they should just see the Tardis approaching, say, ‘Oh. It’s him again’, and trudge away.”

July 5th, 2011 - 3:53pmWell it has been done many times before, and to be honest, I agree with him. I mean, back in ‘Dalek’ I was afraid of the Daleks, but now, they’re only good because of their clever plans. Giving them a rest is a good idea, as it means that when they return, it will be all the more awesome.

June 4th, 2011 - 3:29amthey’re not axing the daleks. It’s becoming a bit annoying every single series with the daleks.
It’ll be a great story line for series 7 too.

June 2nd, 2011 - 11:00amYes we are, although not neglecting rather being very selective. Our visitor numbers are double this time last year and our severer package cannot handle any more traffic, its crashed after every episode this year and we are exceeding our bandwidth every month. We will be upgrading soon to a much more expensive package which will allow us to do much more in the future. The amount of info on the site is now huge (and will soon get a lot bigger) As i have said before for that reason we have decided for the time being to concentrate on merchandise and site features just for the moment as there are plenty of news sites now who all post the same thing. we simply cannot do everything at the moment and have to make choices but that will change as soon as we can
