NEW TO WHO AND THE GENESIS OF THE DALEKS
The Place: Scotland
Time: The day Verity!’s Liz Miles joined New To Who
After over fifty years of futile discussion between fans, Steven thinks
this is the perfected form that carries Doctor Who into eternity - the
dreaded GENESIS OF THE DALEKS. Without feeling, conscience or pity, Steven
is joined as ever by Dan and this time by the wonderful Liz Myles to travel
back through time in an effort to totally deconstruct this terrible menace
of the future.
From Tom Baker’s first season as the Doctor, GENESIS OF THE DALEKS is
rightly lauded as one of the very best Doctor Who stories ever made.
Combining the great powers of script editor Robert Holmes, producer Philip
Hinchcliffe, director David Maloney, and a script by inventor of the
Daleks, Davros - err, Terry Nation, we also have one of the great TARDIS
teams of all time in the form of travelling companions Sarah-Jane Smith and
Harry Sullivan, played resplendently by the late and wonderful Elizabeth
Sladen and Ian Marter.
Fusing the still-heard echoes of World War II with aspects of moral
philosophy and growing fears about scientific discoveries about the human
genome, Genesis is a story of its time that remains as relevant today as it
ever was.
The cover of the original imprint of the 1976 Target novelisation for
GENESIS OF THE DALEKS is used with the kind permission of Chris Achilleos.
The novelisation is written by Sir Terrance Dicks. The audiobook is read by
Tom Baker.
