The first look at 'Revolution of the Daleks'

'The Doctor is locked away in a high-security alien prison. Isolated, alone, with no hope of escape. Far away, on Earth, her best friends, Yaz, Ryan and Graham have to pick up their lives without her. But it’s not easy. Old habits die hard. Especially when they discover a disturbing plan forming. A plan which involves a Dalek. How can you fight a Dalek, without the Doctor?'

Nice one Mr. Chibnall. Way to go promoting your forthcoming episodes with two of the most exciting photographs possible.

Talk about appetite whetted.

Aksherly, this is more interesting than you both seem to be giving it credit for

The orange post-it note on the table clearly contains the letters MDZ

'MDZ Research' was a weapons research company that was featured in 'Resulution' which suggests that this story is possible a sequel to it, and that we are going to get a return of the Ref-Bot Dalek

No, it isn't.

And what the hell is a Ref-Bot Dalek?

The one in Resolution was called a Reconnaissance Scout Dalek

My original review of 'Resolution'

Surely a Dalek story should feature the Daleks! The problem here is that for over half its runtime, the 'Dalek' was the squelchy flesh-and-blood creature rather than the mechanical killing machine. It was boring! And then when the proper Dalek appeared, it was a poorly redesigned one. 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'!
