Just finished watching it! So, that's the Daleks destroyed, then. Good thing, too, because just imagine what would happen if they weren't all as completely dead as they appear to be? :D
I also got to watch the *real* Genesis of the Daleks, aka the DVD extra on how the Daleks got created. They interviewed Raymond Cusick! And Verity Lambert! And Sydney Newman! And some other people! It was very interesting, actually. Apparently Daleks were supposed to have something besides plungers to hold things with originally, but they ran out of money, so had to go with plungers. *g* Mostly, though, I was impressed with how much thought and care went into their creation. That's another hallmark of Doctor Who, isn't it? Never mind that you're working on a silly sci-fi show with no budget; just go make it as good as you can.
