Is threatened with death by Tom Bakers 4th Doctor that if he presses his life support switch a 2nd time, he'll keep it held down thus killing him. 2. Peter Davidson's 5th Doctor holds a ray gun to his face again threatening death 3.

Absolutely. It's like he's genuinely taken aback by the suggestion. Not even offended, just surprised that someone as intelligent as the Doctor would see it that way.

Something I've noted: despite how blatantly evil Davros has been, the Doctor is still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt he could see the error of ways. But when his answer to the "doomsday virus" (basically an allegory of the Daleks) is "I would use it" he snaps and threatens his life. At that point the Doctor realized that not only is Davros *just* as evil as the Daleks, he's arguably worse since he chooses to be so
@dutchvanderlinde248 The child is full of possibility and potential... It is innocent. The child is not "Choosing" to break the capsule, nor could understand the implications of it, even if it had the capsule and broke it.
Magnificent performance by Michael Wisher. Considering he was wearing a mask that completely covered his face, and was portraying an almost totally paralysed man with a mechanised voice to boot, yet he manages to convey the megalomaniacal intensity of Davros, how he is a brilliantly gifted yet utterly ruthless and insane, through voice and gesture with one hand alone.
Which is part of what makes him a great villain. He's not misunderstood, burned by a woman, scorned by society, etc. He's just insanely twisted and evil.
@@scottjarvis123 He’s not just evil evil. He’s a product of an insane war…. Daleks were made to survive, and that’s the biggest example you can see off the Daleks. The only way to survive is to win, not just winning a war but winning over the entire existence.
This is my first exposure to Classic Who, and I gotta say, they were cooking even back then. Franchises that have lasted for so many decades like Doctor Who usually survive for so long for a reason.
This scene alone is peak classic who. Looking back I can see why some of the older fans took umbridge with some of the sillier aspects of the 10th and 11th Doctor's writings, but everything has its place in the show. :)
Not to disparage this scene, but I think the scene in this story in which the Doctor deliberates the morality of committing genocide to prevent genocide is better.
Having an unprotected switch that controls all life support systems right there in front of the user is probably not the greatest design move. I worry that someone who would design something like that could just go off and build an evil robot with toilet plungers for hands or something
Mike Wisher acted periodically in the series since the Troughton era. He got mostly minor roles but when he gets something juicy like this he really sinks his teeth in.
The virus reminds me a great deal of the "reality bomb" from series 4 of Modern Who. Perhaps Davros looked back and thought "actually yeah fair play doc, good idea."
Fun Fact: In the Big Finish story Terror Firma, Davros actually does create the virus and tries to threaten the Eighth Doctor with it. Specifically crediting the Fourth Doctor with the idea in keeping with the theme of the story that actions have consequences.
What I love about this scene is that up until this point The Doctor hasn’t attempted to kill Davros, even after he tortured his friends The Doctor still attempts to reason with him like he has throughout the entire serial. But you can see in this scene, the full realisation by The Doctor of what Davros is, you can see on his face just before he grabs his arm he’s realised how dangerous Davros is, and that he’s dealing with someone who would rather allow all other creatures in the universe to die, than to be remembered for good. That speech by Davros is just an excellent way of describing the self destructive insanity of fascism, and it foreshadows what does happen to him, because by breaking the capsule he would kill himself, just as by releasing the Daleks they killed (Ik they didn’t but whatever) him.
I like to imagine that the button is an alert to Nyder that davros was in danger instead of a function that affects his life support, and davros was pretending to act weak in front of the doctor as a way to stall time until Nyder arrives
this ep firmly converts Doctor Who from a ersatz Avengers alternative or a kid's history at home training class and develops it into hard core science fiction. The intensity of the drama, primarily via Tom Baker's no holding back talents, looped in many viewers and transfixed them into Whovian fanatics!
The tonal whiplash between “this is one of the best written scenes of all time” and “why does Davros have a ‘kill Davros’ button on the front of his chair”
And then the audio story Terror Firma showed that Davros remembered that virus analogy, gave it some thought, *and actually made it*, gloating to the Doctor how he inspired it.
You guys realise that the doctor was going to press the suicude button again the second davris said the order cannot countermounded. Also earlier he said "destroy davros and you destroy the daleks"
“And yet it is my genius that will survive. My genius that will mark the cosmos forever! My body has long been broken, Doctor, but my creations-my soul-they will be ETERNAL. An ENDLESS CASCADE OF DESTRUCTION ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!”
Years later, not only did Davros create an Empire of Daleks with their own hierarchy, he followed through with that idea of total extermination of the universe in the form of the Reality Bomb.
I find it so peculiar (and I like it) that the Doctor, and the best classic one at that, caused the Last Great Time War, and hence so so much pain and suffering
remember watching this as kid on Saturday night and saying "do it Doctor..kill him" and then the disbelief when he gets knocked out..safe to say i was emotionally invested..absolute TV gold.
Tom Baker was the definitive Dr. Who on TV when BBC was picked up by PBS in the 80s. I also remember Fawlty Towers and Are You Being Served on Saturday nights. And Masterpiece Theatre. Peter Cushing did the Dr. Who movies. They played on PBS first and then the TV series came out in mid 82. Tom Baker was the first Dr. Who I saw. Later, older shows were presented. The TV show was on on Wednesday night..They usually ran 2 shows back to back at first. I've seen several actors in the role from the 60s onward. I've never watched the female version. It doesn't fit. I don't know if it's still on or not.
Too bad they couldn't get Michael Wisher to do this again. He nails the character so well, all the others who played Davros couldn't come close to matching him.
I think Davros has some form of suicide ideation. In one of the audios, it’s revealed that after the attack that left him scarred and crippled, the Kaleds handed him a poison injector to kill himself with. He decided against it, but kept the injector with him for many years, even using it during a fight with the sixth doctor.
"To hold in my hand, a capsule that contained such power. To know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end - everything. Yes, I would do it! That power would set me up amongst the Gods. And through The Daleks, I shall have that power!" Rather a memorable set of lines, though I think they also showed just how unhinged Davros really was/that he was beyond all reasoning. Mind you, dear old Davros did like a good rant or two, and to "get things off his chest!"
I love Dr Who, and this series is one of my all time favorites.... But why would Davros literally have an off button, that would kill him on his console that anyone could reach? For a paranoid genius that seems a bit bizarre
I remember reading another comment that guessed that it wasn't an off button for the life support, it was a security alarm that alerts Nider when davros needs assistance. Davros tricked the doctor into calling him in.
I don't know if Doctor Who (in the various media it occurs in) ever depicted a battle between Daleks and Weeping Angels. Although Daleks can be manufactured, I don't know if they would be able to face the Angels properly.
My fav story of the Tom Baker era. However, full credit must go to Michael Wisher (RIP) as Davros. His portrayal is just singularly unique, never bettered in my opinion. The story, music, plot etc just brilliant. By now, Tom Baker owns 'The Doctor' in his own right!
he forgot to add "to kill all life - even YOU - that would give him something more to think about because as long as the others do the dying he has no problem with it but when it comes to his own life that is another story.
Today, I wonder if a decision by a doctor were to venture to an early stage of the Deleks development and try a tell Davros the ultimate truth of his creations that will turn against him. Perhaps it could delay the process by decades. But remember, the doctor has met a younger Davros, and truth can still have consequences for any variant future. However, the most curious thing in this is the Deleks themselves, we've seen different variants throughout the Whoinverse, and it could be said this has already had consequences by previous interventions events aren't a version but one outcome meant to happen. It's the Davros factor, not his creations. Time Lord's should of sent the doctor to remove Davros from time of his birth on Skaro or his ancestors. Ultimately, would the Gallifrians a rule to destroy Skaro a million years before the creation of Davros and Deleks?
One of the greatest scenes in dr who and showcasing Davros complete evil and Jack of morality. As well as the fact that the Daleks are Davros children in a sense and the fruits of his evil and madness and that the only way to prevent that Daleks becoming what they became was to destroy them utterly in that time period.
The only problem I have with the "Genesis of the Daleks" storyline is that it contradicts the origins of the Daleks back with the First Doctor. The Doctor Who and the Daleks episode established that a great war that broken out on Skaro between the Thals and the Dals---(the Dals eventually becoming the Daleks), thru mutation and thus able to survive within their "Dalek" casings.
I just subscribed for #4 big T.B. Himself never saw much of classic who I wasn’t alive in “wilderness years” but somehow in America I remember Doctor who and scarf and from late mate TV
I never liked the Davros villain he IMO spoilt the Dalek concept and when the Daleks were lead by Supreme Daleks or even Emperor Daleks they were characters in their own right and not portayed as mere henchmen like they became in all remaining Dalek serials in the original Dr Who series from 1963 to 1989 and how I wish I could have been born before 1969 and born in 1963 or even born before the 1960s
because in the days and weeks following his accident, he genuinely did consider destroying himself. It was only when he deduced that without him, the Kaleds would lose the war, that he chose to live. But he still keeps the killswitch, just in case...

If there isn’t a purer instillation of how fantastically insane Davros is (beyond creating the Daleks at all), this scene is it.

Watched this with my daughter's in 2012 when they were teens who enjoy the New show but they loved this too.
The Classic World Health Organisation is all about medical development. That is never good. Rid them or health is never a business.

Absolutely! I don't know what it is.. his voice, tone, mannerisms? He just owns the role
Wisher just runs away with it. I’ve never seen an actor having so much fun.
