}}'''''Victory of the Daleks''''' was the third episode of [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|the fifth series]] of [[BBC Wales]] ''[[Doctor Who]]''. In it, the [[eleventh Doctor]] first encountered the [[Dalek]]s and [[Winston Churchill]], both of whom he had met several times in past incarnations. Like ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]'' before it, it involved the last Dalek units in the universe desperately trying to rebuild the Dalek race in a famous period in [[Earth]]'s past. | }}'''''Victory of the Daleks''''' was the third episode of [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|the fifth series]] of [[BBC Wales]] ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

The episode was notable for its redesign of the [[Dalek]]s into multi-coloured units, each with its own specific functionality. Writer [[Mark Gatiss]] acknowledged the controversial nature of this redesign in his [[in-vision commentary]] on the DVD box set. In conversation with principal Dalek voice artist [[Nicholas Briggs]], and [[Dalek operator]] [[Barnaby Edwards]], he opined that the new shape of the Daleks, especially in the dorsal region, was not particularly to his liking. Briggs agreed, but, with Edwards, swiftly noted that in their experience of taking the new Daleks on live exhibition to the public, [[British]] kids universally loved the new design.

The decision was revisited in [[DWM 431]] with critics voicing their opinions on the design. A comparison was made with the [[Russell T Davies|RTD]]-era Daleks but no conclusion, as to the better, was made. | ||
