Customer Rating: Summary: awsome Comment: what can I say, the more Doctor Who that is released the better the world is. great redone special effects and of course the original version. Customer Rating: Summary: One of my Favorites!! Comment: This was actually the first full Doctor Who episode I saw back in the day on PBS. Not bad to start off with a Dalek episode. It's a great story...two robot warring factions stuck in a deadlock...looking for human intervention. Lalla Ward as Romana II is great (she's my favorite companion). This is a definite must for any Dr Who fan. Customer Rating: Summary: Mark Thomann destiny of the daleks Comment: The Doctor and Romana go to skaro and see the daleks are cooming to do somthing bad with davros and I do like the daleks and davros.
age 9 Mark Thomann Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite Daleks-Davors story Comment: When Davros was introduced in Doctor Who during "Genesis of the Daleks," I assumed that this would be the only time we ever saw him. But a few short years later, Davros returned after thousands of years in limbo in "Destiny of the Daleks." I like this one because the Daleks are fighting another robot race called the Movellans, although we don't learn that right away.
The concept of two totally logical species trying to outdo each other is still a classic. One of the things I like about this is seeing the justapositions between the Doctor and Davros and how they approach the final solution. Quite frankly I was always disappointed that the Movellans never returned to the series.
This is an important story in that it was the one in which (for better or for worse), Davros became a permanent fixture in the classic series. It was Romana #2's first story and the start of one of the best Doctor-Companion teams in the series' history.
My favorite part about this DVD are the extras with the Prime Computer ads that Tom Baker and Lalla Ward recorded during the late '70's. I knew they did them but had never seen them and it was a great treat for me. The Terry Nation tribute was a fascinating trek through Dalek history during the '60's and '70's.
This is released as part of a Davros box set, but I already owned all the Davros stories so I didn't need the box set. But in my opinion, the BBC saved the best for last. Customer Rating: Summary: The return of Davros Comment: The Docotr & Romana go to Skaro to learn that Davros is still alive and that the Daleks have a new and more deadly adversary.
