Daleks invade Weston-super-Mare (webcast)
Daleks invade Weston-super-Mare was a parodical Dalek webcast released on social media by BBC Radio Bristol in May 2021 for bank holiday. It was an edited version of a live performance, with an added soundtrack, and focused on a group of four Black Daleks frolicking in Weston-super-Mare. Due to its parodical nature, it is not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
Publisher's summary
Even the Daleks like to spend their bank holiday weekend at the seaside!
Plot
A group of four Black Daleks visit Weston-super-Mare. They first reflect on enjoying the seaside view, then begin patrolling, chanting that they are supreme. One Black Dalek incurs the anger of a small dog, who begings barking at it until its owner picks the animal up. After rudely cutting through the queue, the Dalek tries to buy cake from a doughnut cart, demanding to either be serve or exterminate the salesman.
Meanwhile, another Black Dalek "terrorises tourists" for a little while before stopping for ice cream. It is served by a mocking waitress who asks sarcastically "how [it's] going to eat that". The Black Dalek boasts that its "skills" will prevail, but eventually admits that it has no idea how to hold an ice-cream cone with its manipulator arm.
Together once more, the four Black Daleks reluctantly agree to let tourists take pictures of them, and even selfies with them — even with a dog, albeit a different one.
