* A toy Dalek appears in the opening sequence of the seventh episode of the British comedy series ''[[Mr. Bean]]'' (titled ''[[Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean]]''), when Mr. Bean plays an "alternative [[nativity play]]" with several modern day toys like tanks and a plastic dinosaur.
* In the television special ''[[Red Dwarf#Red Dwarf Night|The Red Dwarf A–Z]]'', two Daleks are shown (under "E" for "Exterminate") arguing that all Earth television is human propaganda, and the works more commonly attributed to [[William Shakespeare]] and [[Ludwig van Beethoven]] were actually written by Daleks, although they deny having written "[[Mandy (Barry Manilow song)|Mandy]]" by [[Barry Manilow]]; subsequently, one of them remarks that the "change the bulb" joke from the episode "[[Legion (Red Dwarf episode)|Legion]]" was funny, and is promptly exterminated by the other for the crime of "not behaving like a true Dalek".

===Magazine covers===
[[File:Radio Times Vote Dalek cover.jpg|right|thumb|alt=A gatefold magazine cover, depicting a nighttime scene with four gold Daleks in the foreground, the railing of a bridge in the midground, and the Perpendicular Gothic towers of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in the background. The left half of the image contains the text "Radio Times" in the top, and "VOTE DALEK!" in the lower left. A small black-and-white photograph is superimposed on the upper left of the right side of the image; that photograph, taken from a slightly different angle, shows four Daleks crossing the same bridge, with the same building in the background.|The ''Radio Times'' for 30 April&nbsp;– 6 May 2005 covered both the return of the Daleks to ''Doctor Who'' and the forthcoming [[2005 United Kingdom general election|general election]].

Daleks have appeared on magazine covers promoting ''Doctor Who'' since the "Dalekmania" fad of the 1960s.
