 | THIS JUST IN: Daleks back to fight Doctor Who
From the BBC: The evil reputation of the Daleks has endured. Doctor Who's arch enemies the Daleks are coming back to the series after a lengthy dispute between the BBC and the creator's estate was finally settled. The estate of sci-fi writer Terry Nation had originally blocked their return to the classic BBC One show. |
But the BBC said an agreement had been reached ensuring that the Daleks - voted the most evil Doctor Who villains of all time - would be back.
Doctor Who returns to TV in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston in the lead role.
"I am absolutely delighted that the Terry Nation estate and the BBC have been able to reach agreement on terms for the use of the Daleks in the new Doctor Who series," said Tim Hancock, agent for the Terry Nation estate.
"We look forward to working closely with the production team in the forthcoming months." Click here for the full story
