DW: Victory of the Daleks

If the BBC bring out a 12" radio-control model of the WW2 Green Daleks I am so buying one. Especially if the pre-programmed phrases include "WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF TEA?"

Not at all sure about the Village Daleks, although (as confirmed in DW Confidential) it's nice to see a nod to the Peter Cushing Who movies. But surely the ur-Dalek is the one from Genesis of the Daleks rather than an overblown Mattel monstrosity?

As for the plot - well, as I said to [livejournal.com profile] swisstone afterwards, Russell T Davies may have taken his Total Bollocks Overdrive with him, but Stephen Moffat has plugged in his Utter Bollocks Hyperdrive and carried straight on.



EDIT Now with appropriate userpic!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought it was UBH. Suspension of disbelief finally broke down with the 10-minute Spitfire refit. :(

I know, it would have been so easy to have made a reference to a Spitfire already being modified using Dalek-tech, that was then rushed through to completion
