Daleks to take over Doctor Who

The Daleks have been unveiled as the ultimate war machine, disguised in British military khaki, Union flags and webbing belts - after being recruited by Winston Churchill.

The camouflaged villains will be seen in this week's Doctor Who contributing to the war effort as Britain struggles during the Blitz - or so it seems.

But the Doctor has a fight on his hands trying to convince wartime PM Churchill that the country's latest weapon is not what it appears.

The Doctor (Matt Smith) was seen receiving a call from Winnie (played by Ian McNeice) at the end of last Saturday's episode on BBC1 asking for his help.

But when he arrives in the Cabinet War Rooms in Blitz-torn London, the Time Lord is horrified to see the Daleks on the scene.

Churchill has been led to believe the evil creatures are the creation of scientist Professor Bracewell (Bill Paterson) and will help Britain to turn the tide of the Second World War.

The Doctor has his work cut out to convince the leader that the Daleks are not the answer to the Allies' prayers.

A spokesman said: "As always with the Daleks, there is much more to them than meets the eye."

Victory Of The Daleks is on BBC1 at 6.30pm on Saturday April 17.
