Did you all not know the Daleks were coming back?
I heard a rumour at the end of the last season that the Daleks were not dead.
It was confirmed at the end of last weeks show when playing the preview. You saw someone getting shot and dying like a Dalek had shot them. (Green light / skeleton etc etc).

Funnily enough i don't like Fish and Chips
I don't like Fish and Chips that much either but that was a great episode for a series finale. I did find it inevitable the Daleks would be returning but I never knew the commander would. This may be a confusing question but how many of you think that the brown sphere in the episode resembles the 1990s BBC1 globe but without the "1" or the smoky continents?

I have got a dumb question to ask about the epi two weeks ago starring Marc Warren (Elton).
For most of the episode, Elton was addressing the camera directly because he was filming a documentary. He kept giving camera directions/ instructions to Ursula (often addressing her by name). At the end of the epi, she was seen to be just a face in a paving stone.... so how would she have been able to walk around carrying a camera, filiming Elton at roughly the same height?
I presume the 'documentary' wasn't all filmed in one go, but at different times?!
Call me dense, but it has got me confused?

This is the storyline I have been waiting for, ever since I was child. I often wondered what would happen if the two most vengeful aliens of the Doctors would ever meet, now I know. I can't wait for next weeks episode.
On another note, its just a shame they can't finish the series on a cliff hanger, knowing that they have already got the greenlight for the third series - or does the Christmas Special spoil the cliff hanger effect!!!!
I honestly do not like these cybermen from the alternative universe - on another note wouldn't the appearnce of these cybermen alert the cybermen in our universe??????? Still prefer the old style cybers, i.e. the ones that can be destroyed with gold being scratched on the chest unit.
Although not seen since the last series, still love seeing the daleks and I could watch any dalek story over and over again. The best aliens ever created for any sci-fi series (non-sequential fact - the BBC wanted the daleks to appear in the season 2 finale of Blake's 7 but Terry Nation refused the use of them - shame - I wonder if his estate would allow the use nowadays if Blake's 7 was ever re-made????????)
WIth this time-rift open does this mean that the Timelords could actually make a re-appearance on Doctor Who and that time can be changed so that the race wasn't killed off during the Time War - just like the daleks??????

The nice thing about Dr Who is that objects featured at the start tend to come in handy later on! Just a theory...

How many times did Davros get killed before coming back?And they could say there's still surviving time lords that could turn up when he runs out of regenerations.He does something for them,they give him 13 new regenerations.

The thing is daleks were destroyed in 'our' universe but these have come from another remember where they won't have been.

Actually I think it was the other way around - Terry Nation created Blake's 7, and wanted to use the Daleks, but the BBC didn't want to do the crossover (so says Wikipedia, anyway).
I had what I thought was a good theory, until someone spoiled the contents of the Dalek's Genesis Pod for me. Remember the Emperor Dalek said that he hid in the "dark space", or something like that? I thought it might be him in the pod, from a time before Parting in the Ways, and now he's come back out with 200,000 years to prepare for their eventual invasion of Earth. Not very likely I suppose...

off topic but...
Terry Nation did create Blake's 7 but he had left the show by the end of the 2nd series. He had fallen out with the BBC (it was also the same period of time when the Daleks were not even being shown on Doctor Who) and therefore he became very reluctant for the Daleks to be used by the BBC for any use.
That reluctancy is still around today with his estate being very prtective of the Daleks - look how long it took for a settlement to happen between Terry Nation's estate and the BBC for the daleks to appear in series 1. They even had to get special permission for this 2 part story, as well - but it does seem that Terry Nation's estate were a bit more warmer to the idea - the estate have to scrutinise the scripts before allowing permission of the use of the Daleks, so as not damage their image.
