description: In the (rather unlikely) event of an invasion by the most feared creatures in the galaxy, then make sure you have a copy of The Dalek Survival Guide to hand (or are in easy reach of a staircase). This slim, handy volume tells you everything you need to know in order to stay one step ahead of Dr Who's most diabolical enemies. Similar in style to the popular Worst Case Scenario series it features the history of the Daleks, detailed schematics of Dalek machines, their weaponry and cities, plus handy hints on to how to use whatever is to hand, should you find yourself cornered by one. Likely to be of even less use realistically than the far-fetched Worst Case Scenarios The Dalek Survival Guide will still be a hit with Dr Who fans, mixing seriously in-depth facts and a healthy dose of humour that would even raise a grating-giggle with the most exterminating-obsessed of Daleks. A good gift, but should the pesky pepperpot invasion actually occur, it still won't be as useful as a flight of stairs. --Jonathan Weir
