Check out the Wikipedia entry on Daleks for a reasonably decent summary of them.
Mnem's comments about rice pudding is a reference, unless my memory fails me, to the 7th Doctor (McCoy)'s taunting conversation with Davros at the end of "Remembrance of the Daleks". That was an excellent story. Shame about the stupid big round golf ball that Davros was sitting in. WHAT was he THINKING? Stupid big round golf ball wheelchair things are SO 1971.
