'Doctor Who' Dalek collector enters record books

A man has entered the Guinness Book of Records for his hoard of Daleks, made popular by the sci-fi show Doctor Who. Rob Hull, 49, has accumulated 571 unique models of the Doctor's enemy over 20 years, which has been confirmed as the largest collection in the world.

However, the Doncaster resident doesn't watch Doctor Who, according to the Doncaster Free Press. "I've never been a fan of the show," he said. "But I have been enchanted by the Daleks ever since I saw one in a toy store as a child.

"My mum wouldn't buy it for me, but I swore at that moment that I'd have my own one day." Hull's 571 models include a six-foot replica Dalek.

His wife Dawn, 43, was less enthusiastic about the collection. She said: "I hate the bloody things and I've got a feeling this is only going to encourage him."
