Bridlington has turned to Doctor Who's oldest enemy in a bid to bring tourists to the town.
The town council has unanimously agreed in principle to adopt 17-year-old Billy Wilkie's replica of a Dalek, but will allow the final say to go to the finance committee.
Billy said they might not be able to call the new tourist weapon a Dalek because of potential copyright issues with the BBC. However they could get away with "Darlek" or "Dalek replica".
"What I want to be able to do is help Bridlington's tourism figures," he said.
Billy crouches inside pushing the Dalek along with his feet while looking through the black upper panels.
There is also a voice moderator fitted inside.
Bob Hillery, president of the Bridlington Tourism Association, said: "It is definitely something unusual for the town and could be a good draw."
