LOL everyone thanks for the views, BTW try an watch with CC on. Funny :p

[nikstiks]

Wisher was the one and only!!

[CrimsonHawkArts]

@nikstiks Yeah, shame we didn't see more of him. Molloy was also great, although he never really owned the role like Wisher did.

[StormsongK]

I LOVE Michael Wisher's Davros. He genuinely makes him scary. You believe this guy could exist, because he echoes the sentiments of so many maniacs who have actually lived. He makes him real.

[CrimsonHawkArts]

@StormsongK Agreed. I like the subtle like movements and quiet voice he sometimes has. You know he is evil...

[EmmaJaneMurdock]

Wait, did Davros just tell the Doctor exactly how to kill him? :P Still a good clip though!

[CrimsonHawkArts]

@EmmaJaneMurdock Yeah, he could have said "That button destroys the whole base or something. But a great clip indeed.

[blownuper]

Why would you have a switch that turns off your life support system? I guess this follows under the same question as why do super villians have a self destruct button?

[LokianEule]

@CrimsonHawkArts I'm not so sure about that! Have you heard any of the radio dramas with Molloy as Davros? There he really gets to take the flat ranting villain and bring him into the 3D with scary brilliance.

[DehnusNorder]

I love this serial,it is so nice and long, and you see the slow decline into madness from Davros, together with his voice starting to more and more sound like a Dalek :)

[eastwing329]

You know, I may be wrong about this, feel free to disagree, but I think that Davros is, oh I don't know, completely power mad and insane. Again, I may be wrong about this.

[songsoftheriver]

which part of the genesis of the daleks is this????

[eZFearz]

I really miss the old darleks

[Yapostadodat]

One of the BEST intellectual interactions in the Tom Baker series. Nihilism vs REAL Hope.

[poodle888777]

...the incidental music and sound effects in this scene are superb; they really heighten the tension and are so much more effective in their subtlety as compared to the overbearing out-of-sync row that our ears are afflicted with in contemporary TV drama...even the monotone drone in the background invokes the dramatic claustrophobia of the fuhrerbunker and Hitler's Gotterdammerung...PURE GENIUS.

[sophiewilder]

@blownuper - I guess Davros never read TVtropes...

[227060]

@Rengekage well yeah but I davros unlike other sudio stuff has so little continuity stuff in it (no Doctor or TARDIS) its basically canon, imean theres no other origin for Davros and any other one probably wouldn't be as good

[Rengekage]

@227060

Okay, we do have that, but again, its canonality is debatable.
