Genesis of the Daleks - Season 12 – Story 78
"We will avenge the annihilation of our people with a retaliation so massive, so merciless, that it will live in history" - DavrosAll time classic. A great origins story done well. The cast were all super in it but Michael Wisher as Davros was the real stand out for me. I remember when I first saw this as a child, Davros absolutely frightened me, more so than the Daleks.

A great story that would have been even better as a four parter.
Nitpicks:
Sarah's adventures in the Thal dome are not particularly thrilling, especially climbing the Thal rocket which seems to take forever.
Gharman's sermons become more and more sanctimonious as the story progresses - last time I watched I could not resist cheering at the screen when he got exterminated.
Bettan and the surviving Thals seem to spend an age regrouping outside the burning Thal dome and later when preparing the explosives to blow the corrider to the Kaled bunker.
Sarah's costume change - the most ridiculous in the show's history.
A very long scene of Kaled scientists attacking guards to gain access to the weapon store in episode 5.
But still a really good story with many memorable scenes, with superb performances from the regular cast and Michael Wisher and Peter Miles.
9.5/10

The grey Daleks of the 70s were always my favourite version! They looked so good and any dents or broken slats we always put down to damages in battle like in Destiny of The Daleks where they all looked a bit worse for wear and had probably been stuck in storage since 1975 without a lick of paint or any repairs! The only thing was and I know I'm not the first to say it but how do we tie in the look of the Daleks here with their original story set some one thousand years later in Skaroen history? Some say it was a different Dalek colony or an older settlement created by Davros and abandoned but I think they just de-evolved due to lack of resources and technology! They removed the slats due to the world outside being uninhabitable and dangerous even for them but is this a city built on the ruins of the Bunker or did they go out and just build it some time later which seems to ruin my theory straight away??
