Dalek made of liquorice? mmmmm

Doctor Who may think he's beaten the Daleks but he hasn't got them all licked, as design and textile students from New College in Ponfefract demonstrate with a creation that even the Timelord's arch enemy Davros would be proud of.
The students used more than 110lb of liquorice to produce Daliq – a sweet incarnation of the sci-fi baddie – to promote the town's annual liquorice festival.They spent a month working with design technician Steve Jefferies and textiles tutor Amanda Bird to create the 5ft 10in-high work.The liquorice was donated by the town's two sweet factories, Monkhill andHaribo.The festival on Saturday and Sunday features all kinds of entertainment including music, food, acrobats, arts and crafts.For more information visit www.pontefractliquorice.co.uk
