There was once a strange telly program called "TV Offal". In it there was "The Gay Daleks".

I am reminded of them now.

It's that little yellow crop-top that does it, sorry

Many moons ago, Steve Wright used to have Dalek and Cyberman sketches. "WE ARE THE DAA-LEKS!" "NO! WEEE ARE THE NO-LANS" "LEEAVE IT!"

The Cybermen were upper class and slightly gay. "Darling, do you know a couple of Daleks have moved in next door?" "Oh yes, terrible oiks the Daleks. Couldn't move in the 80's for them, hand in sink plunger with some pretty girl..."

I still have a 'LEAVE IT' sticker on the front of my stereo from that one.

Definitely the impression I got.

Even the Daleks themselves, frankly. Feels like it's got to the point where they're using Daleks just for the sake of using Daleks, rather than because they've got a decent Dalek story to tell.

ASYLUM SEEKING DALEKS!
(For Ann Winterton)

They claim their planet's dying:
that soon it's going to blow
And so they're coming here - they say
they've nowhere else to go....
With their strange computer voices
and their one eye on a pole
They're moving in next door and then
they're signing on the dole.....

Asylum seeking Daleks
are landing here at noon!
Why can't we simply send them back
or stick them on the moon?
It says here in the Daily Mail
they're coming here to stay -
The Loony Lefties let them in!
The middle class will pay......

They say that they're all pacifists:
that doesn't wash with me!
The last time I saw one I hid
Weeks behind the settee...
Good Lord - they're pink. With purple bumps!
There's photos of them here!
Not just extra-terrestial....
The bloody things are queer!

Yes! Homosexual Daleks
And they're sponging off the State!
With huge Arts Council grants
to teach delinquents how to skate!
It's all here in the paper -
I'd better tell the wife!
For soon they will EXTERMINATE
Our British way of life.....

This satire on crass ignorance
and tabloid-fostered fear
Is at an end. Now let me give
One message, loud and clear.
Golf course, shop floor or BNP:
Smash bigotry and hate!
Asylum seekers - welcome here.
You racists: emigrate!

The Daleks and Cybermen (and all other faceless and masked groups of monsters) are played by only six dancers.

I can honestly say I would like to see the Daleks express their raw hatred through the medium of interpretive dance.

Another thing about the Daleks - I honestly feel, although it's illogical, that their ability to fly diminishes their scariness. Hovering a bit to go up stairs, fine, but somehow they're scarier when they're just relentlessly trundling about the place at no great speed than zooming all over in the air and what-not. The flying Daleks are a bit, "ooh, look at us, we're Daleks and we can fly, so now where can you hide?" Whereas the non-flying ones were more, "We're so fucking bad-ass, we don't need speed and manoeuvrability. So you can outrun us, doesn't matter - we're still going to get you in the end."

It's the Michael Myers effect. He didn't need to run after his victims. He had all the time in the world. He just kept coming.
