One of Doctor Whos most famous enemies the Daleks will not be fighting the Time Lord for a while.

Dr Who boss Steven Moffat says the Daleks wont be hitting our screens for a while because there has been loads of battles between them and the Time Lord and they always lose.

The Daleks first appeared in the show in 1963 and in 2007 were voted the scariest villains in the history of Doctor Who in a poll of 21 thousand fans.

Stevennn Moffat, who is also the head writer, added There is a problem with the Daleks, they have been defeated by the Doctor about 400 times Surely they should just see the Tardis approaching, say, Oh.

Its him again and trudge away.
