The reasons for this are firstly the new Daleks have the large bases that were only ever seen in the TV series once (The Dalek Invasion of Earth) and secondly the very large lights (only ever seen on TV on the supreme Dalek in Planet of the Daleks which was a borrowed stage prop).

Let's look at its genesis - it's the first appearance of the Doctor's arch-foes, the Daleks, since their last televised story in 1988, it's written by fan favorite Big Finish audio drama author Robert Shearman, and it augments the power and presence of the pepperpots for a new generation of terrified viewers.
Many viewers were probably surprised to find themselves shedding a tear for a lonely Dalek, but then that's the genius of this episode, which not only reinvigorates the Doctor's old enemy but gives us a Dalek worthy of pity.
While the moment the mainstream media focused on - the Dalek levitating up the stairs, putting paid to decades of jokes about defeating Daleks by running up the nearest staircase - is indeed great, it was already done in a 1988 story.
