To think the new daleks look like Smarties

[agedknees]

With their new colours. Not scary at all. Why have a sofa if you don't have to hide behind it because the Daleks are not scary.

Feel a bit cheated.

yanbu how can an orange dalek be scary?

I liked the rusty Daleks serving Churchill much better than the new ones. Agree with your comparison to Smarties. They're just too slick and shiny! I can see them twirling in front of a mirror admiring themselves. "Tell the Doctor he'll have to wait, I haven't done my hair yet."

I love the orange dalek. I love the new doctor as well, and I was not taken with him at first.

New doctor is good, but new dalek's too pretty.

Bring back the mangy dalek's.

new doctor growing on me, but Amy is beginning to get on my nerves, bit of a know-it-all.

Thought the new daleks looked beefed up. Perhaps the different colours have different powers

I thought they looked as though they had been designed for a Scissor Sisters promo.

Very butch...

They look like Mini Metros. Very mid-eighties colour scheme, but with better build quality, you'd hope.

They should stop feeding the daleks steroids, thats what I say.

I rather like them...

I did expect the doctor to come out with a witty wisecrack when they emerged in all their Technicolour Dreamcoat splendour. But, alas, I was disappointed. Has anyone else notied how soppy the writers are getting these days? All this love will save the world - have they secretly employed J.K Rowling?

The new colours remind me of the colours in the Tefal kitchen appliance range! 'all toasters and kettles available in orange, red, green, yellow and funky blue!! its all a bit john lewis for me!

Think it's obvious, that way you have to buy several daleks to have the set - def a marketing ploy.

I think the new doctor's brow is somewhat too furrowed. I prefer it when his fringe is over his face.

I thought they looked like Teletubbies.

Churchill was great

Have the coloured daleks been in any very old episodes ?? Ds swears he has seen them before.

They were fat daleks.

they had big bums.

They did.Too much smash.

My dad says that the daleks were coloured originally, in the beginning the different ranks were different colours! apparently! Although, surely they were in b+w at first? anyway, thats what he says!

They look like stage props for JLS.

jurisfictionoperative - your dad is both right and wrong. The original Daleks were silvery-metallic and were indeed filmed in black-and-white - first time we saw them in colour on the TV show was 1972. But there were coloured Daleks in the Peter Cushing cinema films.

1960s TV Daleks

1960s movie Daleks

I just knew you were a Dr Who fanboy as soon as I saw your name!

I want one.

I thought that they looked like a new range for Le creuset
