Talking Dalek Alarm Clock review

Another alarm clock that doesn’t strictly fit into the “radio alarm clock” bracket, but it proved so popular with our team of testers that we had to give it a mention.

Firstly, we need to mention a couple of small flaws with this alarm clock – the first of those is the clock. It is smaller than on most standard radio alarm clocks, and isn’t particularly easy to see. Also, it requires 4 x AA batteries, which unhelpfully, are not included.

So, onto the upsides, and the biggest plus – it looks like a Dalek! What better way to wake up for a Doctor Who fan than to be “Exterminated!” When the alarm goes off, the head and laser light up and it bellows out one of three catchphrases:

“Exterminate!”

“You would make a good Dalek”

and “You are an enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed!”

All in all, this is one for the Doctor Who fans. Not the most functional, but great fun.
