Dr Who started out in the 60's as a movie 23 August 1965 called Dr Who & The Daleks, & have been his arch enemy ever since. It is like an endless battle between good & evil, so yes, they do crop up in the show quite a lot, but they're supposed too.

it would be fine if everytime they met 'the last one' there was some kind of twist into the doctors history or some sort of loophole but there never is and i know as i have seen that particular episode :)

Actually, Doctor Who started out as a TV series, the first episodes were An Unearthly Child. The second set of episodes featured the Daleks, and were largely responsible for the shows' success. The films came later and were based on the TV series. Incidentally, Bernard Cribbens, who currently plays Wilfred in the series, starred in one of the films.

Thanks for the correction, my point being though was how far back the whole dalek thing goes.

I agree that the daleks are becoming the main evil threat and that there should be a variety of monsters but they do add alot to the show, as they remind of the doctors past and the war between the two races that caused the doctor to become the character as we know him.

that is needed but everytime they appear they only remind , they never add anything to the history or storyline. i am however looking forward to next weeks episode as i was really annoyed at the end of the last one, to be continued, Grr lol

I suppose the gap just adds more suspense to the future episodes but is very frustrating when you want to know what happens next.:)

I do like the Daleks, they're just plain nasty. They have been overused recently, they've appeared in three out of the last four series finales. Back in the 60s and 70s the Daleks appeared a lot, but in the 80s they only appeared once (I think) for the last three Doctors, Davidson, Colin Bakes and McCoy. This was due to the licensing cost I believe.

They're kinda iconic as far as the series goes; not having them around would be like have Van Helsing around in a series with no vampires. I do agree, though, it's time they were rested for a bit.
