"Basically, if you sat in an office chair and put a big metal dustbin on your head, you'd be approaching
what it's like to be a Dalek," says Barnaby Edwards, one of the actors who give life to the tinny terrors.
"You pull it along with your feet and there's a little bench halfway down to sit on. The body is on advanced shopping-trolley wheels. One at the prow, two at the back, like a Robin Reliant.
"If you think of an envelope, that's about how much vision you have. You're wearing a pair of tights on your head so the lights don't catch your eyes or your face, and there's mesh between you and the world.
"It's funny - as soon as people can't see your face, they forget you're alive inside, so you get people saying, 'Can we move the Dalek over there?' and I'd move and they'd go, 'God, sorry, I didn't realise.' Yet I'd have been in there for the past three hours!"
