The Daleks – well, one single Dalek – returned to Doctor Who on New Year’s Day in the winter special “Resolution.” As the story saw a Dalek creature manufacturing a replacement casing for itself out of scrap metal, the monster had a very different look when it appeared. Along with this one-off redesign, though, the Dalek was also brought to life in a wholly new way that honestly makes it quite a bit scarier.
As Who fans might know, the Daleks have been operated the same way for the past 50 years – a performer sits inside the pepperpot-like villain and controls its movements from within. However, the production team decided to bring the Daleks into the 21st century for “Resolution” and made the creature fully robotic.
Crew member Darren Fereday, who’s part of the art department, revealed on Twitter that everything from the varying sections of the Dalek to its accessories were controlled by robotics.
