Back in the day when Russell T Davies was known for TV shows that didn't involve aliens and spaceships, had himself a replica black Dalek made for his Manchester abode, referred to by some of his friends as his "gimp Dalek", after the scene in Pulp Fiction. And for years he had to tell people it wasn't actually a real Dalek from Doctor Who.

You know what I mean.

Anyway, the Asylum Of The Daleks, shown last night at the BFI in London, current showrunner Steven Moffat arranged for the Dalek in question to be shipped from Manchester to Wales to be used in the show. Now making it canon – so now Russell T Davies can tell friends that it is a real Dalek after all.
