Manchester’s day of the Daleks
It was yesterday actually. On Sunday, the BBC website reports, 67 glorified postboxes gathered at the Museum of Science and Industry - currently home to the biggest ever Dr Who exhibition.
This meeting of loveable geeks in home-made Dalek suits was arranged to set a world record for ‘the biggest number of people dressed up as daleks in one location’. Strange, I thought, that such a record didn’t already exist…
Anyway, there’s a Flickr photo set of the occasion and a YouTube video of this ‘proper Dalekfest’, as one commenter calls it. Check out the related videos if you’re after 25 minutes of non-stop Dalek footage.
Thanks to MoSI worker Unpopular Superhero and super-blog BoingBoing for the tips.

That’s seriously the biggest ever Dr Who exhibition? I thought it was a bit of a rip off considering it took all of half an hour to walk around - and that was with us going VERY slowly. Oh well, it still made my inner geek weep with joy! Shame the (then) girlfriend didn’t feel the same way…
