The Daleks weren't shown going up and down stairs, but even back in the mid 60's (The Chase) they were shown at different levels in the sets (haunted house exhibition and the Marie Celeste) but the BBC couldn't show them getting there.

Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

The Daleks had to evolve, they were truly the worst equipped plumbers in town. Just a plunger to unblock sinks and baths, and with no means to get upstairs to the bathroom (we don't all live in a bungalow).
It was a case of adapt or go out of business. No wonder they're such bad tempered buggers.

Not so much "fugly" more vulgar bling. I'll let you be the first to audition one on behalf of AoS.

Isn't vulgar bling, by definition, "fugly"?
The Japs (and Chinese), when it comes to styling their equipment, often seem to enjoy a bit of bling. Rather like that shiny 'faux rosewood' wood veneer, one sees on some high-end vintage Pioneer turntables, coupled with gold bits plastered around them. It's just not my thing at all - and couldn't live with it no matter how good it sounded

Now that the chatter for the show has died down, what was the view on the music that exhibitors we’re using? Typical stuff? Did anyone hear anything interesting or different?
