No Daleks in Series 6?

Steven Moffat has been asked whether the Daleks will appear in Series 6 of Doctor Who and it doesn’t look good for the Doctor’s oldest enemy.

In an new interview with Doctor Who Magazine (out tomorrow), his response is largely the same as before – don’t count on it happening, “…unless they pop up in episode 13. Maybe as a guest moment.”

Moffat elaborates: “There’s always a danger that the Daleks are a diminishing return. They are the Doctor’s most reliably defeatable foe. How do you stop that being the case?

“We will bring back the Daleks eventually, but I want them to come back in a really brilliant way.”

Moffat previously said that the Davies-era Daleks will return despite their apparent demise. There is also a rumour that they will actually feature in this year’s Christmas special.
