Daleks Cross Westminster Bridge in Recreation of Iconic Sixties Episode

Early this morning, the Daleks invaded Earth - again.  The most infamous enemies of a certain space and time traveling Timelord known as the Doctor took over central London and struck fear once more in the heart of its citizens.  Yet something seemed eerily familiar as they glided over Westminster Bridge on their path to planetary domination and conquest – a definite sense of déjà vu.

It wouldn’t have been the first time that the timey wimey thing had foxed us.  Yet, for older viewers of the BBC TV series Doctor Who, which in 2013 is celebrating fifty years since it first went on air the scene could have triggered some long distant memories of a time when they had seen something remarkably like this before.  Plus, weren’t those Daleks a different model than those featured in the series since its 2005 reboot?
