I meant that DOCTOR WHO went off the air in 1990 and didn't come back until 2005. I guess there was an appearance of the Daleks in the 1996 TV movie, so I may have made a boo-boo. You could argue they've appeared once a decade, but then that would seem to let the BBC off the hook, if all they have to do is show the Daleks once a decade to retain the rights--then there's no urgency to bring them back for the 13th Doctor. I just don't understand how, if the show wasn't in production all those years, the BBC satisfied their end of the deal with Terry Nation.
