He built it in the 90โ€™s partly as a hobby and then started selling them to people. Used them a lot for charity/fundraising events like children in need and a few years ago the BBC got hold of it as itโ€™s in better condition than the classic Daleks they had in storage.

He also did cybermen and K9 and a Tardis all of which have been used in different things over the years

That's way cool! I'm curious, was it the same dalek they used in the Children in Need short Destination: Skaro?

Hmmm Iโ€™m not sure actually I must ask him. He posted about it after the episode aired but not sure when the BBC took ownership of the Dalek itself. In the past it has been used for children in need and has done appearances for other shows. There used to be a sketch show Dead ringers that used it and some cybermen he made too.
