Bringing them back en masse is just a yawn now. They are so completely invincible that they can only be destroyed by religious overtones: either Rose becomes God, or the Doctor and Rose open the doorway to Hell for them. New menace needed.
Ice Warriors would be a nice change, if we are to have old monsters, but I have heard they're definitely not coming back (as also stated here).
Chuckled a lot at Catherine Tate, last night, saying she had missed the Dalek invasion because she was scuba diving in Spain. I'd like to see an episode of Doctor Who that doesn't end with an enormous space ship lazering the Earth's surface!

Yes, about the Ice Warriors - slight flaws.
Problem A): Scientists have more or less comfirmed that there will be no life on Mars in the near future, neither has there been any life (nothing intelligent anyway) in the past million years or so. The Ice Warriors (unless they colonized on Mars or something) would effectively be wiped out by Scientifical Logic.
Problem B): They wouldn't be a very good villain, not in this day and age - they'd instantly collapse because of either the green-house effect or because of the Doctor's Sonic (or Thermal aka The Girl in the Fireplace) Screwdriver.
The only way RTD could bring them back would be to set a story on another planet - (or in the North Pole, but they'd drown) - but another planet, with RTD in charge? Puh.
Yeah, they would be good. But sorry - every viewer beyond the age of 10 wouldn't buy them.
