From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

That's a fair point, actually. As was previously found by AED, the director of the movie (Chris McKay) has "explained why the famous Daleks never receive their full credit on-screen" as follows:

"The BBC said we could use the Daleks, and we could’ve called them the Daleks".

But it seems that we have all forgotten that BBC does not own Daleks.

So I will ask another simple question. And as the one before, it is not a question I have an answer to. Is there evidence that Rule 2 is fulfilled? Did Terry Nation Estate give permission to use Daleks in the movie. Because come to think of it, BBC actually has nothing to do with the movie. No BBC-owned part of DWU has appeared in it. And I am now starting to scratch my head as to why the director was mentioning BBC.
