One of the most popular story arcs from Doctor Who's "Fourth Doctor" period (starring Tom Baker as the Doctor), writer Terry Nation's Genesis of the Daleks not only fleshes out the back story of the Doctor's most fearsome nemeses--the megalomaniacal, robotic Daleks--but also serves up a thoughtful storyline that doesn't skimp on the action. First aired on the BBC in 1975, the six-episode story has the Doctor and companions Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) summoned to the Daleks' home planet of Skaros at a time prior to their rise to power. Hoping to prevent the domination-hungry beings from developing their warlike behavior, they soon find themselves in the middle of a war between two races, the Kaleds and the Thals, and uncover a plot by a Kaled scientist, Davros, to render his people invincible as the metal-encased Daleks. A gripping story with elements that remain topical even today (ancient cultures locked in an endless war, genetic experimentation, eugenics), Genesis of the Daleks is an excellent starting point for first-time Who viewers, and a fine reminder of the show at its best for longtime fans. The two-disc DVD offers a considerable amount of extras, most notably a commentary track by Baker, Sladen, co-star Peter Miles, and director David Maloney. "Genesis of a Classic" is an hour-long featurette about the story, with interviews from all the major (surviving) cast and crew members, while "The Dalek Tapes" explores the creatures' history via rare clips and interviews with performers and production staff. There's also a clip from a vintage episode of the U.K. children's series Blue Peter that's devoted to Doctor Who models and creatures, as well as the detailed photo gallery and subtitled text commentary that are standards on all Doctor Who DVDs. Those with DVD-ROM can access PDF documents of the 1976 Doctor Who Annual and listings from the Radio Times. --Paul Gaita

This was the first Doctor Who serial/episode/feature I ever saw. I really didn't know what to expect, but the local PBS station (WTTW in Chicago) used to have a British night when they would show Monty Python, Dave Allen, and Doctor Who for 2 1/2 hours on Sunday night. So I watched this. Even though I didn't really understand everything, I found it fascinating. I was hooked, and have been a Doctor Who fan ever since.
This is probably not the greatest place to start on Doctor Who. ... Read More

I discovered Dr. Who back in the 80's and loved it. When it came on again, I called my kids into the room and asked them to watch it. Much to my amazement they loved it too. There is something timeless about this show, even with its cheesy special effects, corny dialogue and plot holes you could drive a truck through.
Genesis of the Daleks is well acted-Baker and company do a great job. Davros and company are engaging villians. The running back and forth between domes and such. ... Read More

Great Dr Who Classic. The origin of the daleks and Davros is a must see - and a must see again!!!

Genesis Of The Daleks is, in my opinion the best Doctor Who story produced to date. The story is the fourth to feature to Tom Baker as the Doctor, meaning he was still at the height of his abilities as the Doctor. Add to that Terry Nation's amazing script, an excellent supporting cast, and above-the-average Doctor Who production values and one finds a classic piece of Doctor Who.
The serial finds the Doctor and companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan sent by the Time Lords (the ... Read More

Genisis takes place long before Hartnel's initial Dalek story and of course also takes place before Invasion Earth 2064. Keep this in mind while enjoying the story. It is not totally counterdictary to "The Daleks" and you must be forgiving of Dr. Who that is notorious for this neglect of reference in most stories anyway. Hartnel's Doc #1 refers in "Invasion" That is, his first Skaro visit was "millions of years in the future." Puzzling the Daleks are more advanced in locomotion in 2164 AD than ... Read More
