Trust us, Daleks are terrifying. They may look a little like washing up baskets with toilet plungers attached to them but Daleks are actually a force to be reckoned with. Just ask Doctor Who – he’s come face to face with the dastardly Daleks more times than we can remember and now, Matt Smith’s Doctor, is about to bump into them yet again. Yikes – rather him than us!
The Doctor returns for a seventh series and the opening episode, Asylum Of The Daleks, looks like it could be a Hollywood blockbuster.
Don’t believe us? Take a look at our sneak peek gallery with snaps from the episode – just make sure you have your sonic screwdriver ready!

Its just a great series for all ages, one of the last great programmes where all the family can sit and watch a bit of fantasy Escapism .. TIMELESS ( excuse the pun)

I think Matt Smith has brung something new to doctor who with his role, and I hope he stays on for much longer. How ever wasn't that keen on Amy Pond or Rory, think Karen is a great actress but too me she never really suited doctor who. And can't wait for the return of the daleks!!! Hope we see a return of Captain Jack and maybe find out more about face of bo. And also another return to new earth!

I rarely tire of the doctor and can remember the first incarnations of the Daleks when as a toddler I used to hide behind my bed for fear of the "jelly hand" ( the dalek inside) creeping up on me......so loved to be scared!. That the series has survived and thrived over the generations is tetament to the storylines and actors/actresses, and how many full blooded yoiung males were not enticed by the doctors assistants?....Of course there have been low points, esp when the series was axed, but the current incumbents are doing a fine job. Just dont like the Rory character as would have liked a romantic affiliation for the doc to have developed with Ami. Oh and who will forget Rose?....ah the joys of parrallel universes. Matt has to stay as the doc cuz he is on his last reincarnation is he not?.

Will the Dr survive the Daleks? Well probably otherwise this will be a very short series! Seriously though, am looking forward to watching this tonight but have to admit I will be glad to see the back of Amy and Rory. I totally agree with Steve Wilson below, Karen is a great actress but the character of Amy just hasn't done it for me, something about her gets right on my nerves! Hope the next companion is a more Rose or Martha style character, loved them both.

" Just ask Doctor Who – he’s come face to face..."
No, just ask THE DOCTOR. If you're going to try to be a Whovian, at least get it right. Jeez. :-P

I think that it's a but sad that for someone who can travel through space and time that the writers aren't more imaginative enough to keep constantly coming back to the Daleks. Matt Smith is relatively new in the role and already he has met up with the Daleks on several occasions. The same goes for the Weeping Angels. Freshen things up a bit please!!! New imaginative writers who don't feel the need to constantly be rolling out the same tired old 'villans'. Watching the pictures in the gallery it just makes me think .... "we've seen it all before".
Thank you for getting rid of Amy Pond and Rory - it will make Dr Who that much more watchable.

''Is the Doctor about to be attacked with a toilet plunger?!'' Lol.
''Now the Doctor is being attacked by two toilet plungers!'' HA!

Dear Me! **** 88 Is a most ignorant and profane man, is he not? The fellow appears to be struggling along on one of the bottom rungs of the evolutionary scale himself, somewhere far below **** Neanderthalis I should imagine!
The current Doctor is somewhat reminiscent of Patrick Troughton’s Doctor, which is good, and as for his appearance, well, he has a suitable alien aspect, which surely is also far better than appearing like ‘everyman’ - isn’t it?
All good luck to the new Dr. Who series, lest we forget the famine of the quite pitiful Michael Grade error - sorry, era! Always loved the Dalek stories, right from 1963!

Still a great shame having to scroll through the pointless and irrelevant spam on here, sad that these people have so little else to do...
Anyway, back to the proper topic!
I have been a science fiction reader all my life, some of it has serious points to make, some of it is just for fun.
So I have watched Dr Who since it first came to the television, enjoyed much of it, but have now stopped watching it at all.
The series which revived Dr Who, in which David Tenant took the part had good, new and clever storylines, and I thought he played the part well, utter fantasy but with a sense of humour, pure entertainment.
Since then, It has unfortunately in my opinion selected bland characterless actors and tried to hold it together with just Daleks and Cybermen, stuff from over forty years ago.
Is it so beyond the current writers to come up with something new?

'Will Doctor Who survive his greatest adversaries in the form of the Daleks?'
Hopefully not....yawn yawn yawn......

Do they still have that bender writing the story lines? I haven't watched it in years as it was getting way too gay for me. The Christopher Ecclestone series was good but under David Tennant is got gayer and gayer. I wouldn't let my kids watch that filth.
