A screen-matched light-up battle-damaged New Paradigm Dalek from BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who. In the Season 7 episode "The Asylum of the Daleks", several Daleks became damaged and melted after the Doctor (Matt Smith) caused a decaying Dalek to self-destruct. The placement of the scuffs and marks on the body screen match the lot to the scene where Rory (Arthur Darvill) ran into a room full of damaged Dalek casings after the explosion. It can also be matched to a shot in behind-the-scenes footage of the episode.

The Dalek is made of moulded fibreglass and resin with a medium-density fibreboard interior. It is painted in shades of white, with grey added to represent charring, and features grey sense globes and a metal arm. Appearing through one of the cracks on the Dalek's skirt are some warm-white rope lights, which illuminate via an attached plug. The separate head has several non-functioning cables and electronics on its interior. The lot is heavily distressed to appear battle damaged, and some minor sympathetic restoration has been undertaken. Dimensions: 155 cm x 95 cm x 163 cm (61" x 37 1/2" x 64 1/4")
