When someone walks into an audition wearing a pot on his head, you just never know what to expect. In the case of Martyn Croft’s appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, it means he’s a Dalek impersonator. Oh wait, it gets better. Not only does he imitate the wobbly Dalek voice, he sings a song. He alters the lyrics of Roger Miller’s “King of the Road” to “King of the TARDIS.”
It is utterly fabulous.

Daleks have to keep busy in the off season; they’re not on the set of Doctor Who every day just waiting around to be filmed. They actually spend their free time helping humanity with these soothing new age relaxation tapes.

Using 328 hours and 157,460 separate Character Building Bricks, four people built a 2-meter-tall Dalek which will be unveiled at this year’s Toy Fair. Hit the jump to check out a time-lapse of the creative process.
The Addis family of Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire has a Christmas tradition that involves using thousands of LEGO bricks to create festive masterpieces. Over the past 18 Christmases, the family has built a snowman, a giant angel and a snow-covered church. However, this year they decided to create a 7-foot Dalek wearing a Santa hat.
Each creation requires nearly 200 hours of build time, and when completed, adorns the family’s Christmas card.

ThinkGeek has released new Doctor Who posters based on events from series 5 (the first series featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor). If you’re not caught up, I bet you’re inspired to do so now. Go ahead and order the posters; you’ll know exactly what they’re about by the time they arrive. I mean, Daleks and the TARDIS – what more could you want?
See the posters separately after the break.
If you’re looking for a way to time travel to the end of your shift, consider staging Doctor Who desk battles with these wind-up Dalek and TARDIS toys. The Dalek features a wind up mechanism on the side and will propel forward with its head and eyestalk turning as if searching for humans to exterminate. The TARDIS has a pull back mechanism, which will cause the TARDIS to zip forward while spinning. However, you’ll want to be careful that your boss doesn’t catch you playing with these – otherwise the end of your shift (and job) may come earlier than you think.

Rob Hull started collecting Daleks about twenty years ago. He has limited editions, rare pieces, and every size from miniature to life-size. He owns 571 unique Dalek models – more than anyone else in the world.
The Guinness Book of World Records verified his claim, and him and his collection are now listed in the pages. He’s excited about the inclustion, however, his wife isn’t a fan of the robot army. How many times do you think she’s walked in and said “Exterminate” just to freak him out?
