When it was announced that Doctor Who was returning after a lengthy hiatus, the fans were wondering whether they would be getting the real deal. Would The Doctor still be a Time Lord with two hearts? Would he still be travelling in his Tardis? Would it still have the Ooo-wee-ooo theme tune? And just as crucially, would any old monsters be returning?
As it happened, there was no cause for alarm. The season opener Rose brought back the Autons and the Nestene Consciousness for a rematch, and to cement the fact that this was still the same show from the good old days, along came a Dalek in a story called, well, what do you know – Dalek.
Dalek wheels out the tinpot meanies for the first in a long line of rematches against The Doctor. In a way it had a lot to prove for both old and new audiences alike.
