Daleks to take on Nazis in Series 5?
The Daily Star has claimed that the infamous Daleks will be making a comeback in Series 5 of Doctor Who, and that their return will see them under the control of Winston Churchill.
According to the report, the Doctor will be reunited with his deadliest foes when the TARDIS lands in World War II. The newly-regenerated Time Lord and his companion, Amy Pond, find them working alongside the Prime Minister in an attempt to bring down the Nazis.
And in preparation for the battle, Churchill has had their metal exteriors painted khaki and green and even attached Union Flags under their eyepieces - now that’s what we call being patriotic!
“It’s going to be one of the most fantastic stories,” a show source told the tabloid. “Daleks, Churchill, Nazis, Hitler and Doctor Who‚ who can top that?”
They added: “The show’s writers know that bringing back the Daleks is always a ratings winner.”
The newspaper also suggests that the Daleks will be shouting ‘Ausrotten!’ in the episodes, which is the German translation of their iconic cry ‘Exterminate!’

The news comes after Matt Smith and Karen Gillan were recently spotted filming on location in Cardiff. Series 5 of Doctor Who is due to air on BBC One and BBC HD from Spring 2010.
Daleks under control of a human? Well, that’s a story on its own! I think it sounds great!
The complete truth. Although, they’re not really under Churchill’s control… but, that’s a story for 2010
I’m also wondering how heavily edited this episode will be when shown in Germany, if it contains the Nazi Swastika.
Mm, good point. Do those laws count if it’s a British programme? I suppose it would, because the German station will have bought it… What did they do in ‘The Producers’ which I’m relatively sure shows the swastika? Or what about ‘The Sound of Music’ if that’s watched in Germany?
Anyone German out there, feel free to put an end to our musings.
If that rumour is true, we might just see a rival to the old series original story Genesis of the Daleks
Germany “recently” *(2007?) a film called DerUntergang translated to our native tounge is Downfall. This film depicted Hitlers last days in the bunker, so it obviously shows Nazi’s Swastika’s etc.. I am 99% sure that:
A Dalek Popping out the casing, shooting Churchill, wearing a Swastika isnt allowed as it is a direct comparrison of character types. However, a Dalek shooting a Nazi with a Swasticka is allowed. As it is a fact the Nazi movement existed and the unfortunate fellow in question happened to be frazzled.
Political Correctness gone Mad.
oh no-green!?!!?? what the hell? I’d like to see some grey daleks
If this is true, I know whose side I’ll be on… Daleks, obv.
ah well that could be interesting. got me thinking about which bunch of maniacs are more evil. very thought provoking

The swastika is not forbidden when used in movies or tv-series. The symbol itself is forbidden in my homecountry.
