I'm a big WHO fan, but the daleks were totally unconvincing and boring...as were the bloody cybermen.

The only Dalek story that works is the excellent Genesis of the Daleks, written by Nation himself, however this story couldn have worked equally well with purpose-created monsters, the Daleks just fitted the jigsaw nicely.

Doctor Who will manage ok without them. Some of my fave stories were in early to mid eighties, when the Daleks were not even used at all.
