Due to a dispute between the BBC and the estate of the late Terry Nation over editorial control, the Daleks will not feature in the new series of Dr Who:

Let me guess, in the years since we last saw the Doctor, there has been a peace treaty between the Daleks and every other species in the known universe, and in fact a Dalek now serves aboard the Tardis as tactical officer.

I can see why Mrs Nation didn't fancy it.

It begs the question though, if they don't let the Daeks appear in Dr Who, what else are they going to do with them? Sounds like the Nation estate has cut off its nose to spite its face to me.
