Doctor Who Series 7: 10 Reasons Why You Must Watch

2. Daleks! Daleks! DALEKS!

I am a bit of a Dalekophile. I grew up loving the Daleks and I€™m sure I€™ve mentioned before about my ill-fated attempt to turn my tricycle into a Dalek with A4 paper as a child. (Note €“ you need more than one ream of A4 paper to attempt this). So you can imagine my face when I saw the title for the first episode of the series, €˜Asylum of the Daleks€™. Not only do the Daleks make their return, but we also see every type of Dalek that has ever appeared. It€™s like all my Skaro Christmases have arrived at once in a Mark III Travel Machine! There€™s also some interesting concepts in this episode, the idea of a Parliament of the Daleks (how that works with a Supreme Dalek, one can only wonder) and that the Doctor has been summoned by the Daleks to control their asylum €“ that the Daleks are unable to do this themselves should concern us all. There€™s also the rumour that Skaro is finally returning, or that the Daleks have turned another planet into New Skaro.
