Evidently the armed Bobbies guarding Parliament has a bit of a scare recently when a remote controlled DALEK trundled up to the building. Gizmodo is linking to the story at the Sunday Mail. The remote controlled robot (which even has its own voice box full of samples Dalek phrases) was owned an operated by Ken Meikle, a 46 year old Whovian. Meikle built the robot to raise money for his brother who has Down Syndrome.
Meikle had been driving the Dalek around London to promote a Dr Who stage production. The police were not amused, but Ken was, "It's not the first time a Dalek has been foiled by the occupants of a London police box... and I suspect it won't be the last."
The Daleks are scheduled to make an appearance in Episode 6 of the new Dr Who series. I watched the first episode about a week ago. It was ok. Not great, but ok. Rose, the new companion, is pretty easy on the eyes. I'm not really fond of the new Doctor. He's not eccentric enough. I don't mind the Northern accent, but in the first episode he dresses like someone out of J Crew. That and the production quality seemed to vary. Parts just looked cheap to me, like the TARDIS set.
