Daleks Voted Scariest Who Villains
The Daleks have been voted the scariest villain in the Doctor Who universe in survey of 21,000 fans, the BBC reported. The news comes as the Doctor's old enemies are about to return in the third season of the latest incarnation of the long-running BBC series. The Daleks will feature in a two-part story set in 1930s New York, featuring David Tennant as the Doctor and Freema Agyeman as his new assistant, Martha Jones.
"Every time the Daleks return, we make them bigger and better than ever before, and this time, their plan is the most audacious Dalek scheme yet," said Russell T Davies, creator and executive producer of the series.
The Daleks were created by Terry Nation and first appeared on screen in 1963. Nick Briggs will once again provide the voice for the Daleks, whose familiar battle cry "exterminate!" has become an iconic part of the series.
A full list of the top 10 villains follows.
1. The Daleks
2. The Empty Child Zombies
3. The Beast
4. The Cybermen
5. The Clockwork Droids
6. The Ood
7. The Empress of Racnoss
8. The Werewolf
9. The Autons/Nestenes
10. Chloe's Dad

The British Sunday tabloid newspaper the News of the World is running a report this morning claiming that Australian actress and pop star Kylie Minogue has been cast in the 2007 Doctor Who Christmas special. Minogue, best known internationally for a string of chart hits including "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head", began her career as an actress in the popular soap opera Neighbours in the late 1980s. She has also appeared in films such as Street Fighter (1994) and Moulin Rouge (2001).
Says the News of the World's report:
"A BBC insider said: 'Kylie jumped at the chance to be in the show and is really looking forward to acting again. She is flattered to be asked to be in such a classic TV show.
'The Doctor Who team are delighted they've got someone as sexy and high profile as Kylie to ensure they win the annual ratings battle with ITV'."
The report also claims that Minogue was persuaded to take the role by her friend and stylist Will Baker, a Doctor Who fan who has included several sets and costumes inspired by the programme in her stage tour in recent years. The paper also claims that she will appear in the programme as a Cyberwoman, but this is not supported in any of their "insider" quotes.
The paper adds:
"The show spokesman added: 'Russell [T Davies] is just putting the finishing touches to the episode and it will be TV dynamite.' Russell, who has met Kylie to discuss the part, said: 'I imagined she'd be booked up for the next two years'."

War Hammer wrote:A few questions I'm curious about. It was never really explained how they managed to shift out while all the other Daleks got sucked into the void. What's even more confusing is the fact they managed to travel back in time, I missed the first 10 minutes of the episode so I guess I could have missed the explanation to that.
One other thing, the Daleks are super intelligent and brilliant geneticists fair enough, but why do they always seem to try and hide on earth to rebuild and take over. The universe is a massive place so why not hide in some random corner of the galaxy hidden and rebuild. The emperor seemed to do a good job of it.
Last but not least, the Dr has a time machine so why doesn't he go back to the time wars and do something about saving his people. For that fact why not go back and bitch slap Davros

I don't think they made reference of the difference between the white shells and the grey shells, the whites were suppose to be simply an evolved version and we had to accept that. The only substantial difference is the whites were programmed to obey Davros/Emperor.
The civil war happened because the greys had already broken away from Davros' control and had no desire to be ruled by him or an Emperor or any one being, plus the whites were out to wipe them out for being weak.
