Dalek masterplan

A Dalek has been kidnapped and held to ransom.

The Dalek, believed to be an original series prop, was stolen from Wookey Hole Caves near Wells on Monday.

On Thursday staff arrived to find the plunger on the doorstep with a note which read, "We are holding the Dalek captive. We demand further instructions from the Doctor."

"For the safety of the human race we have disarmed and removed its destructive mechanism."

The note was signed by the Guardians of the Planet Earth. Police either think its a student prank or linked to G8 Summit protests.

The owners have offered £500 reward for the model's return, and may rope in Colin Baker to speak to the felons.
