Mal Young, BBC Controller of Continuing Drama Series, and Tim Hancock, agent for the Terry Nation Estate, have announced that the infamous Daleks will return in the new series of ‘Doctor Who’, currently in production for transmission on BBC One in 2005.
Hancock said: "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.
"We look forward to working closely with the production team in the forthcoming months."
Young added: "As well as coming face-to-face with a number of new and exciting monsters, it's good news that the Doctor will also do battle with his arch-enemy the Daleks in a series which promises to surprise and entertain a new generation."
Starring Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, the Doctor's companion, the new 13-part series is currently filming in Cardiff and London for transmission in 2005.
