As to the Daleks. I'm glad that Moffat has returned the Daleks to their racial purity master race roots. I liked the concept of the half-breed Daleks, but it had run it's course. But what have they done to their design? I really dislike the primary colour thing (apart from the white one) and I'm pretty sure that this is the first time that they have ever changed the dimensions of the Daleks, I just feel that they now look inelegant and clunky which is quite against their original concept.


This is the biggest and most radical change to the Daleks' design (although it's chicken feed compared to what they've done to the Cybermen over the years), but they have been this big before, in the two Peter Cushing movies in the 1960s. Also, with the exception of the bizarre Orange Dalek, the colours are all ones that have been used before as well.

Whilst I'm not a fan of the lack of detailing on the new Daleks, their size is much more imposing and threatening. The Doctor and companion being significantly taller than the Daleks in the past always reduced their threat level somewhat (especially the pretty tall Jon Pertwee, who was almost a full head taller than them), whilst these new ones feel more like tanks.
