On 15th February 2007, Daleks invaded Bash Street. Whether or not Daleks or even Cybermen would be a match for the Bash Street Kids remained to be seen. In conjunction with Comic relief, DC Thomson released a new comic called Beanomax. Beanomax was a different type of comic devised to appeal to an older audience, especially 8 to 13 year olds. Along with comic strips, there were also games reviews, competitions and jokes. Each monthly issue included free gifts and featured top celebrities.
