After a season of all things brand new, from the Doctor herself to companions to monsters, Doctor Who brings back a classic to ring in 2019.

Graham: Anywhere exciting?
The Doctor: Sheffield

There are classic Doctor Who monsters, and then there's the classic Doctor Who monster, the one everyone knows, even if they've never seen the show before: the Daleks. The series bills them as the Doctor's oldest enemy, and it's not wrong. These alien creatures were initially conceived alongside the Doctor before the show premiered. Their first appearance was in the Doctor's second-ever adventure of the first season, where they are revealed to be an evil race of fascist individualists (a.k.a Nazis). Each sports their own armored tank to exist within, the ultimate in fear-based apparel in the famous "pepperpot" design, with the ping-pong ball eyestalk, and the kitchen'n'bath eggbeater and plunger arms.
