according to the radio times, they realised the daleks were a little too colorful so have made the red one a much darker red, almost burgundy colour and given them a fleshly eye as well.

    Ah! My enjoyment of the entire series has been compromised by your blatant posting of stuff without tags. :(

    Nah. Not really. I couldn't resist the Radio Times wallchart. I remember when having that paintjob was an optional extra. My Escort 1.2 Popular was just the plain pillarbox red.

    The fleshly eye thing was there from the beginning of the new design - they just appear to have stopped lighting them now...

    Passenger mirror? Luxury! Not even the new Daleks have rear views. Hence all the swivelling. I'd be a raving nutjob too if I had to do that much swivelling.

    (and there was me thinking "Popular" meant "chick magnet" :( )

    It was an organic eye - just lit up. I'd commented on such when they were revealed.

    I believe the red Daleks are sort of sergeants to the bronze Daleks.
