The original Dr Who series with the Daleks is showing now on BBC4 . Use to scare me silly when I was a kid.

A few years ago I went to a house to do some PC repairs. As I walked in I just caught sight of a full sized black Dalek out of the corner of my eye. For a split second I was transformed back into the nipper that used to hide behind the sofa.

Not a nice feeling at all.

IIRC a car dealer in Bournemouth had taken it in PX and this guy had bought it off him, he also had a lifesize Darth Maul on the landing.

You'e got me thinking about Peri now

I wasn't going to admit I hid behind the sofa!

I loved the Daleks, it's was the Cybermen that scared me to death !

For some reason the Horda (the two foot long flesh eating worms from the Face of Evil - the episode where the Doctor teams up with Leela) were the worse for me.
