Probably (IMO) the best ever Doctor Who story. Some pretty meaty extras on this set too.
Use codes ELLIE20 & BRAND10 to buy at this price
All six parts of the classic Doctor Who story, with Tom Baker playing the legendary Time Lord as he faces up to his greatest enemy - the Daleks. Charged by the Time Lords with the task of destroying the Dalek menace before they have even developed, the Doctor travels with Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) back in time to the planet of Skaro, to a point where he could prevent the evolution of the Dalek race. But the Doctor faces a crisis of conscience as he questions the ethics of what amounts to genocide. Will he be able to destroy an entire species to save countless lives in the future?
One of the finest stories of the classic Doctor Who age, Genesis Of The Daleks finds Tom Baker at his peak in the lead role, and ultimately facing one of the most significant moral dilemmas of his era as the Time Lord. Thats alongside the small matter of his most infamous enemies.
This is the adventure that goes right back to the roots of the Daleks, from their humble beginnings to the point where they become the Doctors most fearsome foes. Across the six episodes, we find that the Doctor has been sent to the planet Skaro, where he discovers the evil genius Davros, who is about to fully unleash his deadliest creations into the universe. Accompanied by Harry and Sarry, The Doctor also finds himself stuck in the middle of an ongoing war between the Thals and The Kaleds, in a story packed with danger and adventure.
Its also grounded in the kind of excellent storytelling that has frequently allowed classic Doctor Who to overcome its low budget roots. And Genesis Of The Daleks is one of the finest examples of just how it manages it. Thanks to a tightly woven script, and a strong cast led by Tom Baker at his finest in the lead role, Genesis Of The Daleks is rightly regarded as one of the best Doctor Who stories of all time. It really isnt hard to see why.

sorted byThis has Tom Baker and Liz Sladen.
This introduces Davros.
This is classic Dr Who.
"Yes I would do it Doctor, that power would set me up above the very gods!" (edited)
Like to put it on now and then.
Hartnell's The Dalek Invasion is on tonight.
Davros scared me as a child. He was pretty grotesque!! Particularly when he was going of on one of his rampant speech spitting all over the place.
I love the Classic series pace and for me post-05 has all been too fast and 'big', but if that's what you're used to you're going to find the 6 parters like this one a bit cumbersome. (edited)
As for other classics I'm not really a fan of the Fifth Doctor but I'd absolutely put Caves Of Androzani up there as one of the best as well.
