While I await the new Dr Who stuff with interest, I doubt the Daleks, in today's technological age, would work for viewers. Robotics are well established today, yet in the 1960s, when the Daleks were first created, effectively unheard of. Whilst you could have robotic "monsters" today, they would need to have full vertical and horizontal manouverability. How you transfer that from the wheeled 1960s concept I don't think can be done. Better to start afresh with something else that can get a new generation hiding behind the sofa.
