Exterminators roll into town

With their mechanical appearance, piercing black gun and blue eye, they are some of the most recognisable monsters in the universe C and the most terrifying. When they utter their infamous war cry C exterminate! C its impossible to ignore. And now a phalanx of them have set their sights on Portsmouth.

Last year was the first time Daleks from the long-running series, Doctor Who, arrived at the Royal Marines Museum museum, and they are back this year with a vengeance C just in time for the new series of Doctor Who that hit our screens last week.

Celebrating 50 years since it first aired in 1963, 2013 is a big year for the show. Its been announced there will be a movie-length episode in November shot in 3D, and David Tennant and Billie Piper will star alongside the latest incarnation of the Doctor and his faithful companion, Matt Smith and Jenna Louise-Coleman.

But right now its the seafront museum that is feeling the wrath of the famous time-travelling heros iconic enemy.

Jane Hodgkins, 50, is the marketing manager for the museum and lives at Southsea. She says: The Fleet Arm Museum in Dorset has been running the event for the past seven or eight years, and we mentioned to them that nothing had been held like that in Hampshire before.

We thought there would be a lot of local enthusiasts who were interested in attending, but it turned out to be more popular than we could have imagined.

This time around the Dalek Invasion will take place across two days, and there will be activities for visitors inside and outside the museum. Theres been a big build up for it too: We talk about an invasion because thats exactly what it is. There is a big build-up story that they are taking over Portsmouth. We have these images of destruction which are taking place across the city as they attack.

Theyve destroyed HMS Victory,A parkingguidance is a portable light fixture composed of an LED lamp. and the Spinnaker Tower. Then they get their hands on the yomper outside the Royal Marines Museum. Soon they will be here, causing destruction. Theyve come to exterminate us all!

Jane believes that because of the historic and military nature of the museums buildings, it works well as a place for the Daleks to attack.

Donna Roulland, 25, from Waterlooville, is the events and visitors experience manager at the museum. She says: Last year we were overwhelmed by the number of people who attended and it proved so popular, we were at capacity by 11am.

Now weve got a bit more room because its going outside and we have a marque. I remember we had a queue around the car park because it was something that worked so well.

The shows and the characters all build it into an experience for the visitors. Theres fancy dress competitions for under threes, under fives and adults.

Jane adds: Doctor Who is one of the most popular series out there. Children and adults both love it. People tend to think of it as a childrens show but its gone beyond that.

Its got a huge adult following, and some have been following it for the past 50 years. Some have children who now also love the show, and have been brought into the Doctor Who world.

She adds: It always had popular actors like David Tennant and Matt Smith, and they always have interesting and new characters. Its massive.

Open from 10am until 5pm today and tomorrow, the Dalek Invasion at the Royal Marines Museum features a number of activities for families including the chance to have your photograph taken with a Dalek, a Dalek X-Terminate Factor where they learn to sing, Dalek beat retreat, Dalek question time and a Dalek obstacle course.

Donna explains: Theres a raffle where visitors can win an inflatable Tardis or an inflatable Dalek, and theres lots of face painting, mask designing and fridge magnet making.

There will also be some Doctor Who traders selling memorabilia and sci-fi fancy dress. Sergeant Benton, who appeared in the show in 1968 played by John Levene, will also be there.We provide payment solutions in the USA as well as industrialextractor. Theres the chance to meet him. The event will also include a number of the Doctors scary enemies and favourite characters including Cybermen, scarecrows, Miss Hartigan, Rose Tyler, Riversong and there will be a fully functioning K-9, the Doctors faithful dog.

Theres also an exhibition detailing the past 50 years of the famous Doctor. Jane adds: Weve included a lot of information and facts about the 50th anniversary, and we hope we will get to do the same event next year.

Theres a section that talks all about the 50 years of the doctors and the shows history, and we will even have the weeping angels on show (who appeared in the last episodes in 2012). Its a very big year for the show.

The Royal Marines Museum has kept this in mind,Online shopping for miningtruck. as Donna explains: People are genuinely frightened by this character and I think we have to be mindful that a child under five might find this big character quite frightening because that is what Doctor Who is known for.

Actually the Dalek is the most recognisable of those terrifying creatures. When you ask people what stands out the most about Doctor Who people say the Daleks, and the one noise they know from the show if any is always exterminate.

The Daleks are a fictional race of aliens from the long-running BBC series, Doctor Who. They are technically cyborgs made from their original forms, Kaleds, from the planet Skaro, who were integrated with a mechanical shell by the scientist, Davros.

Externally, Daleks normally resemble human-sized salt and pepper shakers with a single mechanical eye, a gun mount (or death ray) and a telescopic arm. Its known that they have no emotions except hate, and their well-known catch phrase is exterminate.

The character of the Daleks was conceived by science-fiction writer Terry Nation, who died in February, and first appeared in the 1963 Doctor Who serial The Daleks, in the shells designed by Raymond Cusick.
