I was laughing at that part, but probably not for the same reasons you were. Chris Chibnall calling the Dalek voice "chilling" almost made me spit coffee on my computer. No offense to Nick Briggs. Just not a fan of the Daleks, and tired of the show telling me they're scary instead of showing me. But I did get a smile thinking about David Tennant getting a "frisson."
I was laughing because the cast was laughing so hard. And when he said "everybody join in" or whatever it was. Just a hoot.
And yeah, the Daleks don't particularly scare me. I think a lot of it comes from never having watched as a kid. If I had, they'd probably scare me shitless.
See, even the cast can't keep a straight face through another round of "Exterminate!" *wink*
And yeah, I agree with you about not having watched as a kid. I was thinking about the mechanical Dalek voice and how back in the day that must have seemed very new and other-ish. But for me I always associate it with eighties hip-hop groups like Skorpio, and doing The Robot. So I think I'm always expecting the Daleks to "rock their bodies on the dance floor, babaaay."
Omg, someone needs to make a vid of that. Hell, they probably already have. But now I'm torn over whether the song should be "Scorpio" or "Bust a Move".
