 * The three major political parties of the United Kingdom — Conservative Party, Labour Party, and Liberal Democrats — were respectively represented by the red Drone Dalek, blue Strategist Dalek and yellow Eternal Dalek across the three alternate covers of the 3-9 April 2010 edition of the Radio Times.
 * Despite the Liberal Democrats' colour being amber (a yellow-orange colour), the orange Scientist Dalek was not used.
 * The yellow and black colour scheme of the Eternal Dalek would really align more with that of the Scottish National Party.
