The Daleks, Dr Who's biggest enemy, were back on British screens last night. They have returned to the world's longest-running sci-fi series to make Earth a part of their new Empire.
Davros, the leader of the Daleks and the most evil being in the Universe, also returned in last night's episode, the first time he has made an appearance since 1988.
Here's an article from a couple of weeks ago previewing last night's return of the Daleks....
Dr Who's enemy Davros to make a comeback

Davros hasn't changed much in 20 years
Doctor Who's arch enemy Davros is to return to television screens for the first time in twenty years in the culmination of the current series.
The Timelord must face the megalomaniac scientist, last seen entering an escape pod in 1988, in the final two episode of the long-running BBC1 show.
Now played by the Shakespearian actor Julian Bleach, the character plans to use his creations, the Daleks, to become the supreme ruler of the universe.
The Daleks, led by Davros, want Earth as part of the New Dalek Empire
Created by screenwriter Terry Nation, he was first introduced in Genesis of the Daleks in 1975, and last appeared thirteen years later in Remembrance of the Daleks
Horribly scarred and crippled after an explosion on his planet, Skaro, he had only one functioning arm and a robotic "eye" mounted on his forehead.
A master of robotics, the villain depended completely upon a self-designed mobile life-support chair which enclosed the lower half of his body.
This became the inspiration for his deadliest creation, and Dr Who's nemesis, the Daleks.
The return of his old enemy is not the only shock for the time-travelling Doctor, played in the current series by David Tennant.
Dr Who and his sidekick Rose, played by Billie Piper, are also faced with a new and deadly red Dalek.
