Holy cow - Actual Dalek prop found in a SWAMP!

A Dalek from Doctor Who has been founded submerged in a pond by a group of volunteers working in Hampshire (near Beaulieu, Hants in the UK).

One of the volunteers, Marc Oakland, was pushing a rake around the bed of the shallow pool when he found the Dalek.

The 42-year-old said: “I’d just shifted a tree branch with my foot when I noticed something dark and round slowly coming up to the surface.

“I got the shock of my life when a Dalek head bobbed up right in front of me.

“It must have been down there for some time because it was covered in mould and water weed, and had quite a bit of damage.

“One of the dome lights was smashed, but the eye-stalk was intact and the head and neck stayed in one piece as I carefully lifted it out.”

The origin of the Dalek is unknown, though it is thought it might be a prop left over from the on-location filming of a Doctor Who episode during the days when Colin Baker played the Timelord – sometime in the 80’s.

YES this story is 9 months old but I only just spotted it and wanted to share!

I wonder if he found any film cans while he was down there...

I missed this the first time. I have to say this is hilarious. I think I would have been a bit unnerved to find such a thing.

One can only hope...


Edit: Wow, my memory is failing me terribly. Not only have I seen this before, I posted in the linked thread.

I remembered there was one.

Don't they have fits when we resurrect a 10 month old thread?

Which then begs the question, why do they still have active 10 month old threads?

As with so much here, it depends on just how you do it that is the critical factor.

She did, didn't she? I only saw The Runaway Bride and didn't see series four.

Bloody hope not - who know what the contents of the swamp will do to the film...

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but my response either way is "Yeah, no."

Imagine seeing a Dalek head bob up to the surface. Itd be hilarious and awsome.

Still, like we always say, theres aleways one that go away and survived.
