Asylum Of The Daleks: What we know

Official Synopsis:

Matt Smith returns as the oldest time-traveller in the universe. The Doctor, Amy and Rory are kidnapped by their deadly foe the Daleks and forced to go on a seemingly impossible mission - to enter the Asylum, a planetary prison containing the most terrifying and insane of the aliens' kind. They need an escape route, and fast - but with a mad, mechanised army closing in, and the Ponds' relationship in meltdown, it is up to the Time Lord to save not only their lives but his friends' marriage. Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill co-star.

"DOCTOR, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK, EXTERMINATE!"

Quote:
Dalek Prime Minister: Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?
The Doctor: I thought you’d run out of ways to make me sick, but hello again! You think hatred is beautiful?
Dalek Prime Minister: Perhaps that’s why we’ve never been able to kill you.
