The
Doctor and the Daleks. Fifty years and
seemingly countless stories later and still the two seem inseparable, both in
the mind-set of the general public and narratively speaking at the core of
‘Doctor Who’s raison d’etre. In the post Time War universe of the 21st
Century show the stakes between Doctor and Dalek have been raised as high as
the bar can seemingly go; and the trick of every fresh Dalek story remains the
same: how can you keep Time Lord and nemesis at each others’ throats without
the risk of apathetic overkill?
