As I said, The Sun is taking the credit for resolving the complex contractual wranglings between the BBC and Davros’s estate.
Thanks to that story, though, I stumbled upon this, in which MP Bob Russell and a spokesman for the White House both call for the return of the Daleks.
Thanks to Ryan for the excellent countdown clock. Just what the doctor ordered.
…if I’ve done my sums right. Two days and eighteen hours until the geekiest thing I’m doing this month. More on that story later.
I’m trying to find a little digital countdown applet that looks like the clock from 24 to put at the top of the page. No luck yet.
The dispute between the estate of the late Davros and the Beeb has been resolved – the Daleks will return to Doctor Who in 2005. Presumably the estate finally realised that the ridiculous amount of money the stand to rake in offsets not being able to veto every single line of dialogue.
I wouldn’t say I’m overjoyed as I’m not much of a Dalek fan, but it’ll be interesting to see how the new show uses them, and they’ll no doubt help the series get some healthy viewing figures.

Oh, hang on, reading on… Penelope Wilton’s been cast in the new series! Now that’s good news!
