Yes, I know it was a 'one-off', and yes, I know that sometimes a redesigned Dalek is good - the power to fly, and the mid-section that is able to turn thru 360 degrees while firing spring to mind - but why does a Dalek need to have missiles beneath it's skirt section? What's wrong with a basic laser which has the power to drill a hole in the moon when shot from the Earth. Ultimately this new Dalek just made me think of the RefBot from 'Robot Wars'!
