The trailer for next week's Doctor Who

If you were at the Mitch Benn session at Eastercon last week, he was good-naturedly taking the mickey out of people who build their own Daleks, and right up until now I'd have been with him. Who needs their own Movie, or Imperial, or RTD Dalek, after all?

But a olive green drab Dalek with Union Flag insignia and webbing? WANT!!

(EDIT- see below for grabs from the trailer)

Is it cheating to ask how a Dalek gets stuff out of its webbing pockets?

I was actually wondering that but the whole WW2 Dalek idea is wonderful enough that I'm suspending my disbelief.

Perhaps the daleks can form into pairs for extracting objects from each other's webbing pockets ? It sounds a bit like one of those party games with balloons though.

There's precedent for armed forces needing to be paired up. Pup tents are issued as half kits and are no fun at all to sleep in without a partner:
