My personal opinion: Dr Who is not Dr Who without the Daleks

Daleks to return to Dr Who?
The Daleks are set to make their return to the new Dr Who TV series after all.
Fans feared a legal wrangle between the BBC and the estate of the late sci-fi writer Terry Nation would scupper the Daleks' return.
Nation created the Daleks and owned the copyright but writer Russell T Davies told TV Plus: "The negotiations are going well and I expect a positive result.
"The estate is protecting an important property, after all, and I can appreciate why they are being so careful. I'd like to think my estate will be equally well-protected after I go."
An announcement on which actors will play the Doctor and his female sidekick is expected next week.
And it's possible the Timelord may well develop a healthy interest in the physical side of life.
Davies said: "Don't assume that the Doctor can never have sex. I'm not saying anything and you will have to wait and see how he develops. But he can always change. We shouldn't assume the character cannot change in some ways."
