Just seen this weeks episode... how the hell did they manage to breath new life into the old pepper pot? I thought the dalek was brilliantly updated with lots of nice touches..like the fully revolving weapons section...and the final self destruction scene/mechanism. Nice to see little touches of humour in there too. The new dalek was sorta Lynchian Dune 'Fighter' type metalwork meets T100 terminator attitude/technology...I thought the show was at least on a par with other contemporary scifi offerings..even to the short comings... but so what.. it's good to see the BBC putting money and effort into scifi again.. Now if they could just produce less episodic story lines that developed the good ideas that are there.. then Dr Who would be a real kick arse show.
