hope for one that this is the case. I agree that the Daleks have always been a hierarchical society. The problem I have with a Dalek parliament is that parliament is essentially a debating and decision making chamber. This seems at odds with a totalitsrian society. Unless it is just paying lip service to democracy... Nope, still doesn't sound like Daleks to me. It's three smashing seires openers out of three for Mr Moffatt. I'm not sure this was THE BEST opener he's produced, did it mach the giddy, magical 'newness' of Smith's opener? Or the sheer excitment and ambition of The Impossible Astronaut? Possibly not quite, but it was very, very good Doctor Who. I had a few problems with the story. The Asylum itself was incredibly atmospheric but somewhat underwhelming. This could have easily been stetched-out to a big Die-Hardish two-parter with loads of running down corridors and fiendish puzzly set-pieces. And to be honest, I spotted maybe 2 pre-2005 Daleks, not the EVERY DALEK EVER that we were promised. But I'm old and I miss things. Repeat viewings, here I come... One or two possible plot-holes can be explained, if that's important to you. I don't think the ending of Victory Of The Daleks was necessarily abandoned. Yeah, at the end of that story there were only 5 new Daleks, but when they escaped they could have travelled anywhere in time and space. There could easily have been hundreds of years between the end of Victory and
