Three-Year Megadeal?

May 4's Express picked up on the Dalek rights story, which we reported yesterday, stating that "the BBC had to broker a ú250,000 deal with the estate of the show's creator, which some might say was ex-tor-tion-ate!" The deal is said to have been concluded last month and the Express says that now "the deal means that the formidable baddies can get ready to terrify an entirely new generation." Interestingly, the article says that Eccleston is signing what they call a "three-year megadeal". (Thanks to Paul Engelberg)
