I think Davros IS a dalek.
Considering the budget for Dr Who sets back then, these genesis episodes are remarkable. Add in the excellent script and the acting, this was peak Dr Who.
"My creature showed a natural desire. An instinct to destroy." I really do love Davros as an antagonist. He really just shows he is completely sociopathic. How he is curious on the concept of genocide and completely extermination of all life. Similar when the doctor questioned him about creating a virus and letting in it out into the world, just to watch the carnage.

Indeed! Davros is a product of his long at war planet. The product of the cultivation of hatred for the enemy "other". It's somewhat similar to the lasting apparent hatred in most of my fellow Americans for Russia. A deeply inculcated and hateful prejudice, embracing every slander and lie. Probably most of his staff are similarly disposed, although not realizing that to Davros, they're also in line to be disposed of.
"Brilliant... Brilliant! It has detected the non-conformity." That line alone is terrifying.

Actually in he serial he first has some "humanity" left in them, but after a conversation with the Doctor regarding it, where the Doctor tried to reason with Davros into making them even more empathic and telling him what happens if he doesn't and all the destruction they would cause? He truly removes all remorse and adds even more arrogance about wishing to be the dominant life form were others are inferior. So basically the Doctor made it worse by trying to do good. This is one of those serials that, even with the really limited budget, really did a great job to expand the Dalek backstory. Although I'd love to see the destruction of the Daleks by the Second Doctor. So many of those episodes are lost :( .

@@robhardy When the doctor told him about what they'd turn into, he was proud though, and used that info to make them even more ruthless and racist. As he mislead the doctor who thought he could reason with Davros. Also one little hint in this serial, his voice starts going more and more into "Dalek" voice pattern. At first it is only when he's angry, then also when he is jubilant, and by the end of it it is ... constant. It is one of the fun little details about this serial that also shows you don't need a special effects or stunts to make a great Doctor Who story. Heck most of it was extremely simple, but it worked. I would love to one day see "The Evil of the Daleks" in it's original though. Or the two Cybermen serials that were more or less lost.

Genesis of the Daleks remains my all-time favourite Classic serial. Not just because it features the debut of Davros, the themes of war and conflict provide a darker, thrilling atmosphere.
New Doctor Who has never come anywhere as close as this in terms of storytelling, camera direction, acting, the use of simplistic sets to convey the atmosphere and capturing the gravity of the situation. There is a reason this and many classic Doctor Who are classics.
Little Known Doctor Who Fact #678432: Davros' wheelchair recycles his waste into nutrient paste that is delivered back into his body by way of an elaborate system of tubes which are the reason for his expression of merriment and tone of sheer peacefulness.
When I was 12 years old this was my first episode when I was on vacation in Australia. And I was hooked ever since. No wonder they took the joker's spot away. As the number one sci-fi villain of all time. Rest well Michael Wisher. Davros is a combination of Adolf Hitler Joseph Mengle and Dr Frankenstein. And Mr Wisher brought it out in real life. I can only imagine what kind of voice. If would have done if he had lived. And done the Batman animated series.

Davros and the daleks are the product of the thousand years of total war on Skaro between the kaleds and the thalls. Generations came and went, bathed in hate and death and the struggle for survival and victory. One can see how Davros might have become the way he is and how the daleks are just a projection of him, and as we see later the daleks main programming is survival and victory over all that is not them. Genesis is one of the best episodes and the acting is superb, especially Michael Wisher in the role of Davros.

_Rise of the Cybermen_ also has the Cybermen being created by a mad scientist who’s confined to a wheelchair, just like Davros. And not only does it take inspiration from GotD, it’s also inspired by the superb audio story _Spare Parts_ by Marc Platt (so much so that he gets thanked in the end credits). _Spare Parts_ is the origin story of the Cybermen who appeared in _The Tenth Planet_ (the ones in _The World Enough and Time_ are different ones), and in my opinion it’s the best _Doctor Who_ story ever.

Me too, it was a defining part of my childhood and it's still a classic, they worked hard to make it dark and frightening in the bunker. It's a great story.
The angrier Davros gets, the more he sounds likea Dalek. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
World's first mobility scooter...... Davros has a lot to answer for !

Could never see the purpose of the bathroom plunger mounted on thr front.
Davros is quite a reasonable chap, in the end.
The battle grey Daleks in this story are my all time favourite Daleks. I just love them. Genesis of the Daleks is one of my favourite Tom Baker stories. Just brilliant.
Every hair on my body is standing on end, especially when davros started shouting when interrupted. I'm so haunted by daleks voices
0:39 Love the music when Davros enters the room.
Always my favorite Dr. Who. I accept no substitutions.
i love doctor who
this serial was my very first ever sight of a dalek.
Got to love the Daleks, and the plunger for their hand. Just like a B movie but it's a show. I always kept thinking where's the toilet.
By far the BEST Dr Who actor ever
Only in Doctor Who could the 10th Dalek story be the first. Poetry. 😁
It doesn't get much better than this
My favorite Doctor Who. I remember watching this when I was a kid.
I remember like it was only 15 years ago, me and my dad were in HMV looking at the DVD’s when I noticed Doctor Who episodes I had never seen before. 7 year old me finding out that there was DECADES of Doctor Who episodes made prior to the 2005 reboot blow my mind. Naturally Genesis of the Daleks was the first classic who episode I watched and it is shocking how well it holds up.

@MultiFan Same thing. A reboot is a type of continuation; it just adds the “after a significantly-long break” portion.
1978, KBSC TV Channel 52 Corona, California (now Telemundo). Dr. Who was broadcast around 3 in the PM just in time after returning home from middle school, I was 13. Been hooked ever since.
I've always wondered how dirty his scarf is from always dragging on the ground and I am also surprised he does'nt trip because of it dragging around his feet or gets his feet tangled up with that 60 foot scarf causing him to fall,or if he has ever jumped in an elevator but got the scarf caught in the closed doors. Could strangle him.

I'm sure he tripped up on his scarf in the invasion of time.
"My creature is now equipped with a device for self defense which it will immediately use to aggressively kill"
Davros is an ultimate villain. He gives me the creepies yet can't but watch him. BUT always the Dr has the last laugh. YAH Dr!!
I'm surprised The Doctor did not cotton on to the fact it had something to do with Daleks when he saw Davros' bubbly pants
3:00 I believe the last time Michael Wisher voiced a Dalek? Also love the effect for the Dalek weapon used at the end of Episode 1 with the secret testing
Absolutely one of the very best Doctor Who stories, ever. I will rewatch this in particular when nothing catches my interests. After that, almost any other Tom Baker. Including his Sinbad movie! Lol
" Look out the Daleks are coming!" Everyone just go up some stairs, showed them!
Love the era of Grey daleks
You are my first and most favorite, Dr
Don’t know why, but I love how the Dalek enunciates the word “aliens”.
I forgot how old he’s getting now I’m glad he still alive though
I remember it well ,back in the day.
I felt very sorry for all the other people around Davros, they all got killed, because of his insane ambition. Nasty 😱 Davros himself died originally until the Doctor intervened, and when Davros had died as in the original history, it meant the Daleks did become unstoppable, by anyone except the Doctor. Whereas that changed afterwards.
Man, I remember seeing this when it first came out. Where did the years go?
The producers saw an early episode of Pike on Star Trek and said "you know, we don't have MUCH of a budget, but we can do a sight better than THAT!"
