I'm old enough to remember when this was first broadcast, and it still stands as one of the best Doctor Who stories ever. Davros is brilliant - evil, scheming, subtle or brutal as the situation requires. Both a ruthless scientist and a skilled politician. And although he is evil, you can understand how a guy who has grown up in an authoritarian state that's known nothing but war for centuries could develop such a mindset. I've always believed that they should have left him dead at the end of Genesis - every time he reappears, he just becomes more and more of a generic villain.
This is imo the greatest Doctor Who story ever! A+ It was so dark, so moody, so atmospheric, so involving. The Genesis Daleks looked far more sinister, militaristic and threatening with grey colour scheme when compared to other bright custom car colour Dalek paint jobs. And Michael Wisher/Davros absolutely stole the show with this one in exactly the way as Robert Shaw/Quint did in Jaws. And you know when something is truly superb i.e. by the way it makes bygone FIFTY YEARS feel more like it all happened last weekend instead of 2,500+ weekends ago in the past, when this story first appeared! Wow what an absolute classic, that?..... Outclasses and utterly embarrasses modern day BBC Doctor Who.
@@Pixiearmstrong9526 cheers Pixie. Yes this is how Doctor Who should be made. Don’t understand why they are doing what they are doing with the new show. Totally ruined it.
Doctor Who at it's pinacle! What has been done to the show and the character by RTD is unforgivable. This story has never been bettered in my opinion, 11/10! Cheers Phil 👍

Totally agree. Would have been so much better to have left Davros dead at the end of this story. Would have made a bigger impact.
My favourite too. Great review.
Cheers mate. 😀👍
One of the GOATS
Yes definitely is one of them best. Wish they could do stories like this now.
Hi Phil. This is such a reminder of all the things that made the series great. So, unlike the current woke calamity.
Its like a totally different tv show now. Only cares about diversity and nothing else.

Totally agree mate. This is my all time favourite Doctor Who story. Perfect television 📺
When Doctor Who was the best TV show ever made.
Yes it was. These days its one of the worst tv shows. Such a massive difference in quality.
Brilliant TV and brilliantly reviewed Phil. At least we still have these classics to remember how good Dr.Who once was.Its never been bettered.
