10 Times Doctor Who Daleks Appeared Where You'd Least Expect Them

10. The Daleks Check Into The Furchester Hotel

The two Daleks pictured with Elmo in that explosive social media snap first appeared in a Comic Con-themed episode of Sesame Street. The street was hosting "Numeric-Con", a celebration of number-themed characters like he Dark Nine and Cap-Ten Kirk. It also featured Doctor Two, who arrives on Sesame Street in his Twodis, bringing with him a dastardly collection of villains.

Among the aliens that Doctor Two introduces are muppet versions of the Daleks and Cybermen! Before they can cause any more havoc, Elmo leaps into action, dressed as the Dark Nine. Elmo and their friend Leela (seriously) dispatch the Daleks with the power of maths, but they're not completely defeated.

They returned in Sesame Street's transatlantic spinoff, The Furchester Hotel. Furchester is a Muppet hotel that appears to be constantly on the brink of disaster. Staffed by Sesame Street alums Elmo and the Cookie Monster, each episode features various elaborate guests. Two of these guests were a pair of Dalek looking Muppets, who wanted to book the time travel suite. It was a throwaway gag that, judging by the YouTube clip, ended up on the cutting room floor.

However, the Muppet Daleks are still out there. Waiting.
