Along with the newest actor tapped to play the good doctor, <strong>Matt Smith<\/strong>, <strong>Craig<\/strong> has invited the @<strong>Nerdist<\/strong>, <strong>Chris Hardwick<\/strong> to take part in the geek fest.  And today, Craig tweeted another treat:  <em>Confirmed Dalek for Dr Who special on Tues 16. For those who don&#8217;t know Daleks are bitter grumpy aliens. Remind you of anyone?<\/em> We&#8217;re wondering if the stage crew is building a Tardis just for fun.  Mark it on your calendars and get ready to geek out.\r\n\r\n<strong>Update<\/strong>: Chris Hardwick wants to know what Doctor Who t-shirt he should wear on Tuesday&#8217;s show&#8230; either one already out there or a newly-designed one.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is his tweet with the link:\u00c2\u00a0 <em>Doctor Who shirt contest!

The RSA&#8217;s @<strong>HMSFox<\/strong> thinks that four roboskelly tweets in one night is a record and she may   be right.
