Frank Sidebottom Dalek

"If a Dalek was in the kitchen eating some beans on toast, what would the main ingredients be?", just one of the many references made by Frank Sidebottom, who often showed his love of Daleks during his surreal comedy broadcasts. 

Frank was played by comedian and musician, Chris Sievey, who sadly passed away at the end of last year after his battle with cancer.





In case you were wondering, the answer is bread and beans of course ;)

Dalek Domination

The Nature of Daleks

Daleks, please leaf our Earth alone! (sorry).

7 year old Sam & Rory did an excellent job here, creating a Dalek from nature, in the Nature Detectives Club 'Big Leaf Art' project.

Nature Detectives is run by the Woodland Trust - creating, protecting and inspiring people about woods and trees (and now Daleks too!).

Now Defunct Dalek Sign

It's a real shame this has now gone.

The 'Dapol Dr Who Experience' opened in 1994 in Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales, and contained  props and costumes used in the TV series. It closed in 2003 and the Dalek no longer appears on the sign.
