Wednesday, 12 February 2014 - Reported by John Bowman

The new edition of Doctor Who Adventures - out today - carries the results of a poll to find the ultimate monster from the Christmas special The Time of the Doctor - with the Daleks claiming a major victory.

Almost 3,000 readers voted and the Daleks won with a massive 55 per cent of the results. The full results were as follows:

1: The Daleks - 55 per cent
2: The Cybermen - 17 per cent
3: The Weeping Angels - 14 per cent
4: The Sontarans - 10 per cent
5: The Silence - 4 per cent

DWA editor Moray Laing said:

It's official. Daleks rule! Well done to all the Daleks throughout time and space for coming first in our poll. They must be delighted with the result! It's great to know that these unstoppable creatures continue to scare and enthral children in 2014 as much as they did when they first appeared all those years ago. Thanks to our readers for voting!
