Replicate! Replicate! Daleks return to London to stage famous scene from 1964 series

The Daleks appear to have fallen through a crack in the space-time continuum - trundling past Parliament almost half a century after viewers first saw them conquer the Earth.

The evil beings were wheeled out to re-stage a famous scene from the 1964 Doctor Who adventure on London's Westminster Bridge this morning.

Four generations of Daleks - showing how the creatures had evolved over the years - were wielding their power on the deserted road.

Show boss Steven Moffatt said recently that the Daleks were being rested from the BBC1 sci-fi drama, but the various models are currently on display at The Doctor Who Experience exhibition which is being staged at London's Olympia until November.

The original images of the Daleks taking over London - in a story with original Doctor William Hartnell - were screened by the BBC in 1964.
