Tales from /lost+found 26: Dal-Lek is actually a completely implausible volume for an encyclopedia

So Daleks this week then.

It bothers me that Terry Nation gets all the credit for creating the Daleks. Terry Nation created a fairly generic sci-fi robot-mutant monster. Everything that made the Daleks the sensation they were was the invention of Raymond Cusick, who designed the look of the Daleks, a look which has proven timeless.

In our universe at least. These… Have not aged as well.
