Daleks may not be back for second 'Dr Who'

BBC bosses have yet to secure a deal allowing the Daleks to appear in the next series of Doctor Who.

The estate of the late Daleks creator Terry Nation negotiated a deal with the BBC for the latest series, and the Doctor's scariest enemies will be back soon. However, a spokesperson has revealed that the BBC will now have to negotiate another deal for the second series.

"We decided to see how this first run goes before deciding anything," the spokesperson told The Sun.

The BBC will now be left to decide whether to reach an agreement for the next series, or continue the show without the Daleks next year.

Christopher Eccleston recently quit as the Doctor after just one series.
