Lucky enough to meet Tom Baker at a local supermarket once, i was amazed at how tall he was and how he was so eager to chat. What a lovely friendly man, and definitely my favourite doctor who when i was a child.
Which supermarket mate where abouts? That's really cool!

@@shannonreed9808 Did you know that he was the first Doctor that American audiences would see? My dad and people in his generation remember seeing him on TV. He's truly America's favorite classic Doctor incarnation 🇺🇸.
@@rogerkeleshian2215 I did not know that, veey interesting 👌
It's a nice touch how Davros's voice starts sounding Dalek-like when he's being particularly crazy.
Yes, that's something that I like too.
Thats because Michael Wisher voiced some Daleks in previous stories.
hahaha
Yeah, Michael Wisher was great. It's funny 'cause he's VERY handsome in real life, playing someone as decrepit & ugly as Davros. Kinda like the actor who played Voldemort in the Harry Potter movie or movies (I've never seen them, but I've seen the actor and he's gorgeous!).
Yeah the Daleks were created in his image.
Davros' voice actor really knocked it out of the park with the Virus speech.
Wasn’t a voice actor! That’s Michael Wisher, he was also a voice actor for the Dalek’s in the past too. But that’s why they chose him to play Davros, to draw a parallel between their creator and the Dalek’s. Superbly written…
This story has it all. Mood, atmosphere, lighting, the opening scene, the original Davros, the twists turns and betrayals and Tom Bakers "have I the right" speech. And lets not forget we also have the best Doctor of them all along with a brilliant Tardis team of Sarah and Harry. You just don't get better than this for classic Who.
Add to that Nazis and whirring automatic doors, what more could you want.
Davros scared the hell out of me when I first saw this as a kid.
He and the Master are rarely listed on greatest villains lists, they get snubbed so regularly I just want scream ,"EXTERMINATE ! , EXTERMINATE ! '.
@@chinabluewho a
Actually, I'm still fairly terrified of Davros, but don't tell anyone...
Davros 2024! 🇺🇸
Yeah "as a kid"
Tom Baker is the quintessential embodiment of Doctor Who! He perfectly portrayed the character; and few have even come close.
My sentiments exactly!
Agreed! There are a few others that I do also really like, but nobody does it like him!
@@ssshhhjjj192
I actually quite enjoy most portrayals of the Doctor, particularly David Tennant, Matt Smith and Christopher Eccleston, but Tom Baker was simply marvelous to watch.
I recently learned that Tom Baker wasn't _"acting"_ when he portrayed the Doctor. He was just being himself, but turned up to 11. That makes so much sense, in retrospect!
Oh, yes! That's precisely why I think Tom's portrayal was a cut above the rest. He wasn't acting. It was natural for him. The consistency in the character was flawless, because it was basically HIM.
That's not to suggest that I didn't enjoy other portrayals of the Doctor. Christopher Eccleston truly revived the character; and I wish that he would have stayed on longer. In retrospect, even he has some misgivings about exiting when he did. David Tennant and Matt Smith did a great job; and I think Tennant can be credited for making the Doctor a contemporary, cool pop culture icon.
It's probably easier for me to simply list those portrayals that I'm not too keen on, which would be the Doctor as portrayed by Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Paul McGann; however, in McGann's case, I believe it has more to do with the fact that the entire production was Americanized. Had it been produced by the BBC, it most certainly would have been a much better movie. As it is... it was just awful!
@Nick Animates
Ah! A mutually agreeable disagreement!
😁
Genesis of the Daleks is one of the all time classics, a landmark story for Doctor Who and the 4th Dr's era.
Arguably the best ever Dr Who story. Blew me away when watching it as a 9 year old in 1975.
@@carlh429 Sure is, Genesis of the Daleks is one of the all-time-classics of Doctor Who
This and Pyramids Of Mars.
@@BedsitBob For sure, that's another classic as well
@@BedsitBob agreed. Another particular favorite is 'The Time Warrior' with Irongron ( and his band of medieval morons ) and Lynx the Sontaran
One of the greatest Doctor Who stories ever.
I agree, but just think of all those poor fanboys and girls who think David Tennant was the First Doctor.
@@robadams5799 making up people to get mad at
@@YEs69th420bro is fighting ghosts
I keep trying to think of reasons why this isn’t the best Who story ever, but you just can’t argue with it can you? Truly legendary.
A bit long, kinda drags in part. You know, lots of hallway scenes
Because The Caves of Androzani is better.
The Talons of Weng Chiang runs it close, but this story is still the best ever!
@@celtic5177 I want to agree because Five is my favourite Doctor and Caves is an incredible story, but I just think Genesis is a better example of what Doctor Who really is.
@@jacobcurle8964 I personally think that the rememberace is a better dalek story myself
Now we’re talking. This is classic “classic” Dr Who.
Best DW of the classic series. I like how Davros' declaration at 32:00 that he would destroy "everything" was eventually returned to with the "Reality Bomb" in Stolen Earth/Journey's End.
I like that speech because in his arrogant mind, he would totally unleash the virus because it would elevate him to godly status...yet when the Daleks turn on him, he starts whimpering and begging. He doesn't like not being seen as their creator. And in the stolen earth, despite having a reality bomb, he's still stuck in the basement as their pet. He's so deluded that I think even he believes a "peaceful" world where only a single mindless being lives is good, when in reality it's the thought of himself being regarded as super important which keeps him excited.
Reality bomb foreshadowing
"Excuse me, can you help me? I'm a spy."
The Doctor of War, everybody!
I think an episode of Blakes 7 had Viller saying the same thing. Some of the actors have appeared both in classic Dr Who and Blakes 7.
If every good series has that one episode which achieves near perfection, and greatness which speaks to the ages, then for Dr Who THIS is that episode. Amazing.
The Caves of Androzani, The Seeds of Doom, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Genesis of the Daleks, Midnight, Inferno, Human Nature/The Family of Blood, Pyramids of Mars, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and The Green Death are all examples of pretty much perfect Doctor Who in my opinion.
Earthshock
The Sun Makers
Frontier in Space
Planet of Daleks
Ark in Space
Its not an episode. It's a series. I think it was 6 episodes total?
@@JL-iv9qr Nice to see Planet of the Daleks get a mention. My personal favourite (alongside Genesis). Planet has such a great sense of tension and dread. It was absolutely terrifying and gripping at the time.
Can't believe I found a dalek for £1 in a charity shop and the same day this pops up on my recommended videos. Both very happy and weirded out at the same time. Tom Baker was my doctor as a child as well.
Real World crazy Stuff going on of late.
I don't fink Weird is that rare anymore.
Beauty SPB, Love from Upsidedowntown Friend.
If it's one of the old dalek toys from the BBC shop, you can sell them for a couple of quid on Ebay. I sold all my old toys years ago and made like £100+ lmao. Used to collect the toys, had one dalek of nearly every colour and type.
Still my all time fav Dr Who episode. A true epic from the days when a great story was more important than mere SFX
Michael Wisher, the best Davros. Nothing beats his maniacal screams of EXTERMINATE when he orders the death of Ronson.
Wisher really gets into it. He could’ve played it flat but he didn’t.
"Do I have the right ?" A question that I can see haunting the Doctor for the rest of his lives.
Actor Tom Baker is the essential Doctor Who as the Fourth Regeneration of the iconic character with the best in British wit from the BBC, brilliant bespoke wardrobe, and superb acting that makes him the best that science fiction can offer as the timeless Time Lord of choice for eternity.
"That is our future..."
"You've got troubles!"
Understatement of the whole episode!
I've seen the future, and it looks very... green.
I was lucky enough to be in the studio when this was recorded. I still have the camera script!
One of the first Dr Who's I ever saw in 1981 when I had stumbled upon on the show on PBS. Bought it on DVD when it came out in '05. Simply classic.
I use to watch this and" Are u being served". Benny Hill show . In black and white🤣
I might also add, though I didn't know this at the time, but right about the time I started watching "Who", Tom Baker was filming his last episode 'Logopolis"--which I didn't see for at least 10 years after it way made.
Another PBS kid convert.
That whole run Ark in Space, the Sontaran experiment, and Genesis of the Daleks is a must watch. I am so so on the Cyber man follow up story but Tom Baker has an excellent speech in that one too.
Tom Baker - the best Doctor who of all time...fantastic voice.
I'm almost 46 years old and this is a blast from the past. I grew up watching Dr who.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane ❤
We were both the Peter Davison era for new episodes, although I did see repeats of Patrick or Jon, but oddly never Tom Baker. I can maybe only barely remember Tom as current Dr Who, and I'm from early 77.
@@moaningpheromones Did you start watching Doctor Who at birth?
Genesis of the Daleks was the first Doctor Who serial I’d ever seen. I stumbled across it in the 70s as a kid on PBS in the US and was immediately enthralled by it. Davros scared the crap out of me and I recall making Daleks out of Legos to attack my other action figures. My parents probably thought of was out of my mind as I yelled “Exterminate!” while I played. Oh, the memories... Tom Baker will forever be my favorite Doctor!
Davros was right when it came to the one glaring weakness of the doctor, he has a conscience.
Michael Wisher was untouchable as Davros, the rest dont come close. I love the end of the first episode when he says "Now we can begin"
Genesis of the Daleks, Pyramids of Mars and Planet of Evil are the measurement for all Dr. Who episodes. 1975 was the a banner year.
Dalek stories are the best
And Elisabeth Sladen will always be the best companion a doctor could ever want.
I still miss Elisabeth Sladen. Sarah Jane: The Possession Queen, and the bravest companion of all space and time!
Donna : Am I a joke to you ?
i also loved Rose, Amy Pond + Rory, and River Song. Rose and Christopher Eccleston were a perfect pair :) 🧝🏻♀️🌝🤺🟦
She's also the most beautiful woman in the whole universe.
how about Billie Piper and Colin Baker? That would be good too
I was about 6 years old when I met Tom in Woolworths Lincoln, I queued with my mum for about an hour to get a book signed which I saw in my local news agent and begged mum to buy it for me with the promise that I will read it from cover to cover and of which I still haven't read LOL and I actually don't know where the book is but it doesn't matter because I met Tom Baker...
I'm 52 now and still admire the amazing performance Tom gave throughout so many years.
Paul
43:53 (Davros tries to reach for the button)
Dalek: Exterminate!
"Fires ray gun"
Davros: (Screaming)
“Excuse me, could you help me-I’m a spy!!”
*knocks out the Thal guards* 😂
So I just watched this today on FORCES TV and the speech that the Dr gave, whether he had the right to destroy the daleks. Sarah Jane asks why not to which he says if you found a child that you knew was going to grow up and do dreadful things could you kill that child. That scenario was written by Stephen Moffat for Peter Capaldi when he rescues Davros, as a child, from a mine field.
Total dedication, just a big fan writing his own storyline, love it.
The difference between Moffat and Chibnall. Chibnall would simply throw in random aliens, then decide to make them Sea Devils or Sontarans, even though it made no difference to the story....Moffat would take a loose thread from a classic story and construct a credible and cohesive plot around it
@@Neil070 TBH it seems to me that Chibnal was never a science fiction fan nor a Dr Who kid so his commitment to a storyline is weak but his writing of drama is weaker. I dont know what all the fuss was about his ITV drama and I heard that he wrote first draughts for Merlin and the idea was thrown out, then the series was reinvented without him .
He also wrote one of the most annoying storylines for Matt Smith, Dinosaurs on a spaceship.....🤨 so bad.
Garbage speech. Of course he had the right. He had the responsibility.
People wonder why the Gallifreyans are so damned jaded. Even before we hit Modern Who, there are plenty of reasons. Where to begin? The beginning may not be for a time-spanning race, after all. Ahh, will-he, nil-he, we are chronological in nature, so:
1) The very first race the Timelords sought to uplift ended so disastrously that they set it into law to never do that again.
2) The aftermath of many of Omega's and Rassilon's endeavors and the leftover artifacts were so catastrophic in their potential that they terrified the whole race--for good reason! They also saw such matters as the Guardians of Time more clearly than most, which certainly didn't help.
3) Messing with their own and one another's histories was a chronological nightmare... and still is.
4) So is messing with the history of others.
The freedom the Timelord representative speaks of is the freedom to make his own call on how to or not to interfere, freedom they deny themselves after bitter failures galore. The price of that freedom... is having to *make* that call. They know just how twisted, how *intertwined* the histories of the Doctor and the Daleks are.
The Daleks are machines aren’t they?
“Do I have the right?”
One of the most brilliant lines ever written
I first started watching Doctor Who on PBS in 1978, when I was 4. My family and I had just moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and it aired on Saturdays after Sesame Street and Mister Rogers. My little mind was completely blown by what I saw: an eccentric Englishman traveling in a blue box with hapless companions, battling homicidal robots. I have been a Whovian ever since.
I started watching on PBS about 84.it came on about 6:00 Monday to Friday.
The greatest storyline in DW history
It was the 1st episode I ever watched, when it was re-shown on BBC in the 90's and got me to be a fan
Thanks for the upload
I have watched Dr. Who since the 60’s when it first showed up on Canadian television. The show was the talk of the school the next day. While there were sci fi around, this was the first show that lead to true discussions of the morals of the story line. It was on I think four afternoons a week so there was plenty of time for people to speculate as where the story line was going.
@@maryelizabeth6797 my babysitter watched the Tom Baker Dr who when she watched me and this was the first episode I watched it played on pbs late night in the 80s so I had to wait two weeks for each episode.. good times
Same here. This was the first Dr. who I ever saw, on Saturday nights on NJ public tv. 9-11 PM. My favorite episode ever. I thought Caves of Androzani was better, and was my 2nd favorite.
Tom Baker..Without a shadow of a doubt the BEST Doctor Who 1974-1981
The best Doctor, with the best theme.
While the special effects has always been dodgy in older doctor who, the acting and storytelling hits bullseyes.
That’s to be expected considering it dates as far back as 60 years (at least from next year) and honestly, at least in this serial, some of the effects have held up remarkably well for mid 70’s British television. It looks a lot better than Destiny of the Daleks that’s for sure!
@@horrorfanandy4647 yeah seriously! This was absolutely awesome when it came out! This was cutting edge when it came out!
The beauty of the basic special effects in TV programmes and films means the viewer has to meet it halfway with their imagination. That's what's been lost in modern SFX.
The effects were a product of their time. I actually love the effects. Artists worked hard on this with limited budget and tools.
I hope nobody gets the stupid idea to “remaster” them as was done in Star Trek.
Modern CGI bores me. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be a substitute for a bad story
Genesis of the Daleks was the first classic Doctor Who story I watched and I've been hooked ever since.
This is when I became a fan! To find out that some of my fellow fans think this is the best episode of DW ever seems right!
Thank you for this!
Tom Baker, my Absolute Favorite Doctor of all time. I grew up watching this. Thank you!
I believe there was nobody who could deliver a throwaway line like him...
Me too!
I loved this arc probably my favourite involving the Daleks and Skaro itself the writing was perfect Davros was the true show stealer of this storyline
So funny how Russell T Davies saw Davros and instantly believed everyone in a wheelchair is evil.
This was by far my favorite era of the show- Baker will always be my favorite Dr. and Sladen will always be my favorite traveling companion. The Dalek episodes were always the best ones too- and this specific episode was the best of the best- their origin story. Davros scared the hell out of me as a kid- he was one of the few bad guys they made look truly terrifying on this show. The Daleks themselves weren't scary as far as how they looked- it was the idea of this cold machine that only existed to "exterminate" any other race and was so difficult to kill- they were the first terminators if you think about it.
Big time yeah, I grew up watching him on UKgold and other channels on cable haha. Him and John Pertwee were my favourites.
And if you watch "Terminator" there's some uncanny conceptual parallels with Day of the Daleks...
Wonder if Cameron got/watched Doctor Who in Canada back in the day?
@@steventhomas2856 Holy crap- you're right, never even thought about that. Idk- maybe, it's entirely possible he watched and was a fan, I guess.
When I was 11 and on holiday in Australia, this was the first Doctor Who episode. And it scared me. But it was magic. And now come to think of it. It came out 2 years before Star Wars. And one year after Space Battleship Yamato. And now I have talked to Star War Fans. And I showed them Genesis of the Daleks. And they now know. That the Daleks are the number 1 Sci-Fi villain of all time. Knocking off the Batman's Joker. And Michael Wisher as Davros. Is brilliant. And a beloved stage actor. And you think that bio-medical research was just coming on. The pacemaker, the electronic wheelchair. Electronic sensors. Davros is a combination of Adolf Hilter, Dr. Mengele, and Dr Frankenstein.
A 45 minute clip of all the best bits of 'Genesis of the Daleks' not just one of the best Dalek stories ever made but one of the best Doctor Who stories full stop. On the tin it's says 'written by Terry Nation' in the credits but looking at the best bits it smacks 'written by Robert Holmes' on it...
one of the all time greats not just of doctor who but of tv in general
60 years and still going , Doctor who has certainly been a time traveler through out TV screens .
"Your views are not important." `~ Nyder
Peter Miles steals every scene.
Totally! He did a great encore in Blake’s Seven too.
It is an absolutely cracking story. Davros (Michael Wisher) and Nyder (Peter Miles) played brilliantly, two great characters, evil supreme!
At least Guy Siner got to keep his little tank.
One of the best Doctors. That time ring is more like a time bracelet.
Sarah. The first non-Kaled being in the Universe to see a Dalek in action. No wonder the look she had, all those years later, when the Daleks were on Earth...
Sarah is always frozen in fear, "I can't do it Doctor!" and in 60s platform shoes...clomping her way across the universe and time. Great stuff!
That “do I have the right” speech The Doctor gives is one of the most profound speeches given for a children’s tv show. You just don’t see it in this medium any more.
True now it's all about crush a race/species in it's formation...if you think about it modern characters even if they are human are simply daleks
Very dark images. Multiple deaths, military shooting fleeing people. Inter generational war.
The Daleks were an artificial creation programmed for destruction. Just biomachines. Blowing them up is no different than blowing up a munitions factory. Even Davros realized he'd screwed up at the end and desperately reached for the self-destruct.
It wasn't strictly a "children's" show then. It was a family show. That the whole family could enjoy. Not just the children.
@@NBDYSPCLYes, and you probably know they were actually told to tone it down a bit as it was considered to have shifted too far towards the adult end of the spectrum.
Perhaps similar to The Magic Roundabout where it was estimated half the audience were adults.
Best DW story ever. Tom Baker and Michael Wisher at the top of their game. Utterly wonderful!
The recent big finish release, Doctor of War: Genesis, really shows how poignant the “Do I have the right?”, moment was to the Doctor. I won’t spoil it, but the excerpt that’s available from the newsletter gave me chills.
It would be cool if somebody used deep fake to make the Time Lord at the beginning of Genesis of the Daleks into Narvin.
If those with foreknowledge of all things do not have the right... then who can? This creates a condition of utter impotence, in which those without any morality whatsoever can wreak utter havoc. This is illogical and foolish.
One of Barry Letts little touches.
@@Alondro77 the doctor knew that the incubating Daleks were innocent and deserved to be given the benefit of the doubt
@@Charlie94781 They were literally all programmed to kill. They were MADE to be monsters. They were no more innocent that Terminators hot off the manufacturing floor.
I remember watching this when I was young. It was one of the best episodes of the Fourth Doctor's tenure for me. Watching the Tenth's Doctor episodes The Stolen Earth and Journey's End in what for me felt like a sequel because of its inclusion of Elisabeth Sladen (RIP) as Sarah Jane Smith brought tears to my eyes and I was glad to see things come full circle for her, Davros and the Doctor. That's was good storytelling and imagination!
Tom Baker is in my opinion the greatest doctor ever with David Tenant a close second!!🤗
I miss the old series. The great script writing,the adventures, the excellent actors.
I want the BBC to bring those days back.
Me too
As do I

I like how they've changed a 6 episode (I think) arc into a single 45 minute episode!
no, too many confusing edits. Like Sarah going from rubbing though the mud to climbing up that interior scaffolding
I wish new doctor who had 6 episode serials. Big complex sci Fi stories. I think the most New who did was maybe a 3 parter.
As someone who can ( just ) remember the first ever episode, ( the day after the Kennedy shooting ) and has seen practically all of the stories, over the years, I would suggest that almost ALL stories could have been shortened by about a quarter, without spoiling the general presentation... Possibly even our favourite story... " Genesis of the Daleks "... could have been shortened by one episode, but still remain the best ever Dr Who story...
I'm old enough to remember every Doctor... Although I was very young for the Willy Hartnell (Dr-001) episodes (I caught-up on the reruns, thousands of centuries later....) Patrick Troughton (Dr-002) was the first Doctor that I specifically remember and was old enough to understand and be thrilled by.
.
Then a family divorce... And with that the end of my DrWho 'privaleges'... The new Step-Patriarch - someone who would put Nieder (seen in this episode...) to shame, first used DrWho as a leverage and then permenantly banned me from watching. This was the John Pertwee (Dr-003) era... However, I did manage to catch quite a few of those episodes, as I tactically arranged to be at a friend's house on the odd Saturday evening ... Which also coincided with my other favourite SF prog - UFO, which I was also banned from watching at home.
.
Then the family upsticks and moved to Wales... Again, I was banned from watching DrWho... However, In 1975 I did manage (using the same tactic as before...) to catch all of 'Genesis of the Daleks' and the following 'Revenge of the Cybermen' episodes... I was now 16 and very scientifically aware, so both these series episodes resonated with me... Especially the ethical dichotomy at the end of G.o.t.D...
.
In September of 1975 I joined the Royal Navy and during the following years initial training period I caught every Dr Who series for that period (Dr-004) and Peter Davison (Dr-005)... Then sea-time - no British TV whatsovever.... When I did catch up, it was Colin Baker (Dr-006), then Sylvester McCoy (Dr-007... who was also cojncidentally, employed by MI6 ...). By this time, I was simply too bored with DrWho...
.
Obviously - countless millennia later - I caught the film - Paul McGann (Dr-008) and subsequently all of the New Era of Doctor Who, from Eccleston (Dr-009) onwards until the final regeneration of Peter Capaldi's (Dr-012)... Where the charcter changed gender.... That was the final straw for me... A female Time Lord?
I DON'T THINK SO.... Again, political correctness and gender equality (which I mostly agree with...) ruins a damn-good story arc and character. The same could be said for the Bond franchise...
.
Enough is enough.
.
My favourite Doctors were - Pat Troughton, obviously (and especially) Tom Baker, Paul McGann and Pete Capaldi. But I look back at all the episodes (that I've now caught-up with) and consider - The Genesis of the Daleks and the Revenge of the Cybermen my all time favourite series/episodes. Inspite of the productions, it is the story that counts and these two were landmark stories. Though the 'Bad Wolf' episodes featuring John Hurt and (cameos of) all of the Doctors to date (upto Mat Smith - (Dr-011) - The Time Wars - is up there with them.
Nice history of your doctor who experience. I agree that changing gender was a huge mistake a bad move. I didn't like her as the doctor and the scripts were terrible stories. Tom is my favorite as I grew up watching him and he was just about already gone by the time I first saw his series run.
several of my friends and i feel as you do. they should NEVER have made the doctor a female. and beyond that, the main writer, chibnall has almost literally crapped on the previous 60 years with his ridiculous story arc. but i can put the blame all on him. the bbc allowed it to happen. so for us, the doctor died with capaldi. MAJOR changes will have to happen before we consider watching the show again, starting with the complete retconning of chibnall's garbage.
Correct spelling Dockter
Tom Baker's "Have I the right?" speech here is arguably Dr Who's greatest ever moment.
For many people ( including me ) Genesis of the Daleks is the best ever story of all Dr. Who...
It's up there.
"Excuse me, can you help me? I'm a spy." Legendary.
Yes, very funny. He was always good at lines like that.
That Dalek voice still gives me goosebumps for so many decades...
I haven't even though of Dr. Who in idk 20 or more years. I was washing dishes and Dr. Who popped into my head out of nowhere. I came here to see if these old episodes still hold up. I was blown away to see full disclosure in here. That's why it's the best episode, the story is real.
The power to wipe out the Daleks in the palm of his hands. I wonder if the Doctor would go back to prevent him from stopping himself?
Never.
Ol 6 did during his Big Finish story. He becomes the new War Doctor and embraces the Valeyard persona.
Wipe
That subtle but piercing baby cry in between all the hissing and screaming and other noise in the Dalek incubation chamber is haunting.
Those are some seriously grumpy giant salt shakers.
2022..it still bloody works..
Tom Baker Who is up there with
Original Series Star Trek.
Tom baker, my personal favorite doctor who. my father got me into that show, it wasn't the same after baker left
"Do I have the right?" yes.
I have to agree with you my friend. Not only the best Dalek story but the best Doctor Who story ever
This was my favorite Dr Who episode series when I was a kid. Best Doctor, best companion, great story. What can you say?
Well the one in suede kit was a close runner...😆
@@dominicseanmccann6300 That true, if I'm thinking of the same one, good point!
44:03 Oh my god the power in this dalek's voice, I love these classics so much
37:52 was the best soliloquy of Classic Doctor Who of all time.
I wish I had known about Doctor Who as a child. Over here in the U.S. the TV station PBS used to show Doctor Who in the 80's. Since about 2007 I've been trying to collect classic Who - and I'm always excited when I hear of lost episodes being found.
I had the book and the cassette type of this and played it many times as a kid when i started drawing doctor who portraits. Watching this now i can even remember the words and this was one of the best classic doctor who episode's and of course the man him self Tom Baker the greatest doctor
Tom also is my favorite.
@@madmanmark8387 He had the balance right with humour and when it comes to the serious doctor. Also for me this is where David Tennant done a wonderful job as the doctor he had that tom baker in him as well but up a notch for modern doctor who it's just a shame he didn't play the role for long
@@bioshock6935 well said that man xx
I still love this story, one that gave The Doctor the option to play God, but he rightfully turned it down.
And because he did... the Time War happened.
If there is no God, then SOMEONE has to step up to fill those cosmic shoes.
Alas for you all... IT WILL BE ME!! #GodEmperorAlondro2032 Exterminate. >:}
but then ended the Daleks and the time lords centuries later when he could have done it here with much less loss of life.
That’s when Doctor Who was Doctor Who. There was always something to be learned in each episode.
Ah yes the big red self destruct button. Every home should have one.
Davros made it clear he wanted one for the Dalek Crusable.
I know this is highlights, but even so, within scenes you can see this is really well edited:
so when the Dalek is demonstrated, you look at Davros and often he is not speaking, but we hear him, because the audio from moments later has been edited in early to tighten the pace.
And other little things like Sarah's scream climbing the scaffold when the uniformed escapee is shot whilst helping her, which is an overdub too.
There's also loads of electronic atmosphere, like when Ronson visits their cell or Sarah and Sevrin are caught climbing the rocket, just listen behind it - lovely radiophonic noise.
They also spot the music well, it's not all the same and it's not constant. So like when Davros is dreaming about the power of the capsule, the way the music comes in and then how it changes.
It all just helps to give it the blend of sound and action, keeping things moving. It doesn't feel so much like we are waiting for action to take place before the cameras, it's more filmic.
They keep cutting to shots of Dalek guns or reactions, different angles etc. All takes time, but so worth it as many others suffer from that sense of drag; where you can just tell everyone and everything is waiting to be caught by a studio camera.
Here it feels pacey and that's no accident. It's why people mention Talons (David Maloney directing again there) and Androzani in the same breath as this, they too are tightly constructed, with a good dramatic pace.
Also doesn't hurt that Barry had a damn good idea of what he wanted from Terry on this one. And he rose to it admirably. Yes it does have elements of previous scripts with gangs of humanoid fighters against the Daleks, but it's Davros that makes this so special along with Tom completely focused and hungry to get it right.
Then Philip and David decide they want it to be more atmospheric and mature and bingo... the perfect storm (oncoming) :)
you lost me at 'filmic'.
This was great! A few scenes shy of the whole, if memory serves, but all of the good parts still in.
Well most of it is missing. The full story is 2 and a half hours and this video is only 45mins
Two words- Tom Baker, my favorite Doctor (I grew up during his tenure)
More the 2 words lol
Truly a cautionary tale of what can happen with AI don't you think?
R.I.P Dr Who.....
Who??
One of the greatest stories in the history of Doctor Who. No matter how many times I watch, it never gets boring.
This series with Tom Baker is where I came in.I was in high school and just happened upon it on public television.I never looked back.The hat,the scarf,the hair,dammit,Baker to me will always be Doctor Who.
This is my Davros. A brilliant iconic character and design.
For sure! This Davros is a genuine supervillain. So much more fully developed and multifaceted than idiot Davros of the later series.
The single best story in all of Who classic or New
Probably my all-time favourite Dr. Who story. It covered so many aspects, while one of the most notable was the very-first appearance of Davros, creator of The Daleks. And I must admit, that when I first saw him, being only young at the time, I found him absolutely terrifying! At first, I thought he was a puppet, worked by some clever mechanical means. It was only later, that I discovered that Davros was played by an actual actor, namely Michael Wisher. And his portrayal of the character was simply awesome, other actors have also played the part of Davros really well, but for me, Michael Wisher was THE Davros.
Dock-tor! DOCK-TOR!! Where is the Dock-tor?! getting more jelly babies of course!! Want a jelly baby? have a Jelly baby!! hehe!!
Genesis of the Daleks is an absolute masterpiece 👍
This is my favorite Dr Who story. I love this story.
This is an episode that transcends the doctor who fandom,I've watched clips of Doctor who over the years but this is quite literally the only episode I've ever watched
Doctor, you have a new enemy...RTD.. 😂
One of the best episodes of the series ever produced. A genuine classic that never gets boring to watch.
Tom Baker was/is my Doctor also. I grew up in Detroit during the time we had the infamy of being known as the murder capital of the world and when the Doctor was on it was exactly what the doctor(my psychiatrist) ordered (Hahahahahahaha....) and yes I still need him😅😊. Travel on Doctor!
nice one tom , you brought my scifi childhood to the darkest and wildest of places , i feared daleks like in a schizophrenic way once seen on t.v they became real in this world. till my adolescence, deffo more scarey out thier than worsel gummages version , davros was a class act
Of all the Doctor Who shows there's been over the years Tom Baker was and still is the only one that I only watched. He is by far the best and my favorite Doctor Who. I especially liked when they had the robot dog K9 which first appeared in 1977 called The Invisible Enemy. And the Daleks which to me looked like old fashioned salt 🧂 and pepper containers. 🤣 Davros the leader of the Daleks having a third eye on his forehead freaked me out when I first saw him! And when he would say Exterminate, Exterminate really cracked me up. And when they traveled in the old telephone booth I loved that part. I think the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was expired by Doctor Who traveling through time in the telephone time machine. It had to be.
I agree that Tom is the best and definitely Bill and Ted movies were inspired by Doctor Who for a telephone booth. K9 "master" it is ashame not to have K9 actually meet The Master. I digress in the 5 Doctor's he did want to go with Sarah Jane Smith and maybe he would have met the Master.
Ha when K9 appeared on the show that is suddenly when the show started to go downhill as THE DR would use him more and more just to not do much without him.
