A '''Dalek''' is a member of race of [[cyborgs]] featured in the internationally-popular [[BBC]] TV show [[Doctor Who]]. Externally they are pepperpot-shaped metallic killing machines with a single eye-stalk, a gun, and a utility arm, but internally they are controlled by an amorphous reptilian creature.

A '''Dalek''' is a member of race of [[cyborgs]] which hail from the planet Skaro. They are featured in the internationally-popular [[BBC]] TV show [[Doctor Who]]. Externally they are pepperpot-shaped metallic machines, with a single eye-stalk, a gun, and a utility arm, but internally they are controlled by an amorphous Kaled mutant. The Dalek race is fiercely resistant to malign outside influence, and the purity of their race is of the utmost concern to them. The liberal [[BBC]] paint these characteristics in a most negative manner since the Daleks are essentially a conservative race. Indeed when Terry Nation first came up with the concept he modelled them after a right of centre political entity. In the new series of Doctor Who the Daleks are shown to be religious, instructing the Doctor and his companions not to blaspheme. However, they seem to follow some sort of [[Roman_Catholicism|heathen emperor worship cult]] rather than a [[Protestant|genuine religion]].
