A few years back some space probe travelling towards the Sun was monitoring a range of frequencies, one particular 'hit' had the scientists interested. It turned out the probe had picked up the midday 'pips' broadcast by Radio 4 on Longwave. It was at the time mentioned that this is the furthest away that Earth bound radio broadcasts had been received.

I'm no scientist, but surely you would have to get in front of any radio waves to catch them - and are they not going at the speed of light? So it's kind of impossible anyway??? Still, good luck trying...!

Not unless they bounced off some large object, say Jupiter and were reflected back towards Earth.
Quick folks ! Get out all your old 405 line sets and point the aerials to the skys. The Space Pirates is scheduled to start in 10 minutes thanks to the Alpha Centauri Reflected Broadcasting Company.
But anyway, these signals would be so weak that I doubt anything will or could be invented which could detect them. The Daleks Invasion is just background noise within the rest of the background radiation in the Galaxy.
