There was double trouble at the National Media Museum when a brace of Daleks dropped in for the launch of a series of half-term activities devoted to Doctor Who.

While youngsters won’t be able to take a full-sized Dalek home, they can make their own miniature model of the Time Lord’s most fearsome foes as part of a range of events on at the museum in Bradford over the next week, from Saturday.

Learning programme coordinator Elaine Richmond said: “We’re very excited about this event and promise a lot of Doctor Who-themed fun and activities in anticipation of the 50th anniversary episode next month.”

Most events are free, but there is a £1 charge for the Light-up Tardis and Motorised Dalek workshops.
