Doctor Who kicked off 2019 with a bang, thanks to the New Year’s Day special, Resolution. We saw an old and deadly enemy of the Doctor’s return with a vengeance – a Dalek!

But this Dalek’s design was unlike anything we’d seen on-screen before...

Having been buried on Earth for centuries and then resurrected thanks to two unsuspecting archaeologists and some UV light, the squid-like mutant creature was missing its all-important armour casing. So, it took over the body of archaeologist Lin and made its own casing, cobbled together from old bits of Dalek and versatile Sheffield steel. It then proceeded to cause havoc before coming face to face with the Doctor and Team TARDIS.
