===Non–''Doctor Who'' television and film===
Daleks have made cameo appearances in television programmes and films unrelated to ''Doctor Who'' from the 1960s to the present day.
* Two to three purple toy Daleks are also seen in the background of an episode of the American children's cartoon ''[[Rugrats]]''.<ref name="test">{{cite web |author=Chris Hardwick |url=http://www.nerdist.com/2011/01/rugrats-dalek-easter-egg/ |title=Rugrats Dalek Easter Egg |publisher=Nerdist.com |date=17 January 2011 |access-date=11 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006011650/http://www.nerdist.com/2011/01/rugrats-dalek-easter-egg/ |archive-date=6 October 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* 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".
* In the 2004 series of ''[[Coupling (British TV series)|Coupling]]'', written by Steven Moffat (who was later to write for and produce ''Doctor Who''), a Dalek appears in the second episode of season 4.<ref name="coupling">{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/06_june/16/coupling_moffat.shtml |title=Writer Steven Moffat |work=[[BBC News|BBC Press Office]] |date=16 June 2004 |access-date=21 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090327234029/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/06_june/16/coupling_moffat.shtml |archive-date=27 March 2009 |url-status=live }}</ref> This was voiced by [[Nicholas Briggs]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.noisemonster.com/corporate/people_briggs.shtml |title=The People—Nicholas Briggs |year=2005 |publisher=Noise Monster Productions |access-date=3 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714191214/http://www.noisemonster.com/corporate/people_briggs.shtml |archive-date=14 July 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> who later went on to provide Dalek voices for the series proper from 2005 onwards.<ref>Russell (2006), p. 161</ref> (Terry Nation's original Dalek rights deal with the BBC had been negotiated by his then agent [[Beryl Vertue]], later Moffat's mother-in-law.)<ref name="moffat">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/aug/31/2 |title=Monkey goes to Edinburgh |work=The Guardian |location=London |format=Requires free registration |date=31 August 2004 |access-date=21 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130930131425/http://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/aug/31/2 |archive-date=30 September 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>
