The Sontaran Experiment Revenge of the Cybermen

Genesis of the Daleks is the fourth serial of the twelfth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was written by Terry Nation and directed by David Maloney, and originally broadcast in six weekly parts from 8 March to 12 April 1975 on BBC1.

In the serial, the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and his companions Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry Sullivan (Ian Marter) are sent by members of the Doctor's race, the Time Lords, to the time of the Daleks' creation, to avert their future terrorisation of other species. The Doctor faces the dilemma of whether he has the right to do so.

Genesis of the Daleks was originally commissioned under producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks, who felt that the outline submitted by Nation was too similar to his previous Dalek adventures, and encouraged him to explore the origin of the Daleks. The story introduces the Daleks' creator Davros (played by Michael Wisher), who had a unique visual design. The script was handed to Letts and Dicks' successors, producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, who made changes to the original script which gave it a darker tone. Nation, having intentionally modelled the Daleks on the Nazis, further explored the theme in Genesis. It also addresses the moral issues that come with time travelling and genocide. The story was filmed over January and February 1975, with some location filming done in a quarry in Betchworth.

Genesis of the Daleks premiered with 10.7 million viewers and concluded five weeks later with 9.1 million, with the least-watched episode being Part Three with 8.5 million viewers. Since its broadcast it has been widely praised as one of the series' best. The story was novelised in 1976 by Dicks, and released as a condensed LP in 1979, before being released on VHS in 1991 and DVD in 2006.

Plot

The Doctor is intercepted while travelling from Earth to the Ark by the Time Lords for a mission to interfere in the creation of the Daleks to avert a future time when Daleks would dominate the universe. The Doctor is given a Time Ring to use to return to the TARDIS when the task is complete. The Doctor finds that he is already on the planet Skaro and joins his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan. They find that Skaro is a war-torn planet; a generations-long war of attrition between the Thals and the Kaleds for dominance of the planet has laid waste to its surface and ecology. In the midst of a poison gas attack by the Thals, the Doctor and Harry are dragged inside the Kaled dome, while Sarah is left outside. She runs into the Mutos, exiled descendants of those mutated by chemical weapons early in the war but they are captured by the Thals. Sarah and the Mutos are forced to load radioactive components into a missile, that is to be launched at the Kaled dome. Sarah attempts to lead an escape by climbing out of the rocket silo but fails.

The Doctor and Harry are brought before the Kaled elite: General Ravon, the leader of the Kaled army and Security Commander Nyder. The Doctor attempts to explain that they are aliens but Nyder dismisses this as their greatest scientist, Davros, has stated there is no life outside Skaro. The Doctor and Harry's possessions, including the Time Ring, are taken but another scientist, Ronson, discovers that they really are alien. Davros enters and demonstrates his new "Mark III travel machine", which he later dubs as the next stage of their evolution: a "Dalek". Ronson subsequently confides in the Doctor that he and other scientists believe Davros' research has become immoral, because he using unethical mutations to create the Daleks. The Doctor promises to tell the Kaled leaders about Davros and the Daleks if Ronson helps them to escape. The Doctor meets Mogran and other Kaled Councillors, who agree to halt Davros' experiments. When Davros discovers this through Nyder's spies, he prepares twenty Daleks under computer control and covertly provides the Thal leaders with a chemical to weaken the Kaled dome in order that their rocket will penetrate it.

The Doctor and Harry rescue Sarah from the Thal dome but in doing so, the Doctor is captured. He watches helplessly as the Thals launch their rocket and destroy the Kaled dome. At the Kaled bunker, Davros declares the Kaled race is dead, giving birth to the Daleks; he claims Ronson provided the chemical secret to the Thals and has him executed. He instructs the next scientist, Gharman, to remove compassion and pity from the new Dalek mutations and sends them to the Thal dome to exterminate everyone. In the confusion, the Doctor, Sarah and Harry rejoin the few Thal and Mutos survivors and return to the Kaled bunker. The Doctor instructs the Thals and Mutos to try to destroy the bunker, while he and his companions go inside. They are captured by Davros, who becomes aware of the Doctor's knowledge of the Daleks' future. The Doctor is forced to describe all future defeats of the Daleks which Davros records, to ensure that they will never occur, later having a private audience with Davros in a failed attempt to reason with him, before being placed in a cell.

The Doctor and his companions are freed by another scientist, while Gharman is making his move to stop Davros; the group using the opportunity to rig explosives in the Dalek incubation room but the Doctor finds himself unable to detonate it, asking "Have I the right?". The Doctor is able to avoid the choice when one of Gharman's followers reveals that Davros appears to have succumbed to their demands and will stop his research, on the condition of a vote among the councillors. While Davros pleads his case the Doctor recovers their possessions, before he and his companions force Nyder to give him the recording of the Dalek defeats, so they can destroy it. At that time, once the remaining Kaled elite are split between him and Gharman, Davros reveals the voting was a ploy to give the Daleks time to arrive and kill the opposing group. The Doctor and his friends learn that the Thals and Mutos have prepared to detonate explosives to seal the Daleks inside the bunker and there is little time to escape. While Sarah and Harry get out, the Doctor returns to destroy the Dalek incubation chamber with a Dalek inadvertently completing the circuit and destroying the room. The Doctor then escapes before the Thal explosives detonate.

Acting on their will and impulses, the Daleks start a production line against Davros' wishes, while mercilessly killing his supporters. Davros attempts to activate the bunker's self-destruct but is shot by a Dalek. Though the Daleks know they are trapped, they are confident they will eventually emerge as the superior race and dominate the universe. The Doctor, Sarah and Harry say goodbye to the surviving Thals and Mutos. While the Doctor did not stop the Daleks, he does believe he has hindered their development for perhaps a thousand years and was thus successful in his mission. The three use the Time Ring to return to their own time.

Production

Conception and writing

When planning stories for season 12, producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks felt that it was time for Terry Nation to return to the series and write another Dalek adventure. Letts and Dicks enjoyed the script Nation sent in, but found it too "reminiscent" of many of his previous Dalek stories. The two suggested that Nation instead write an origin story for the Daleks,[1] originally titled Daleks — Genesis of Terror.[2] The serial was commissioned on 1 April 1974, and the scripts accepted on 22 July.[2] The stories lined up for the season were handed over to Letts and Dicks' successors, producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, with whom Genesis of the Daleks gained a darker tone.[1] Holmes was not a fan of frequent appearances by the Daleks, and only allowed the story because it explored their origins.[2] In an aim to make the series more adult, Hinchcliffe wanted the story to be "pacy" and make the Daleks appear more powerful.[1] In a 2006 interview, Dicks said that he does not believe the story would have been much different if he and Letts were in charge, though he remarked he would have added some lighter moments to soften the "grim" tone.[1] Director David Maloney stated that the images of war at the beginning of the serial were intended to create atmosphere, and he had no intention of losing the younger audience.[2]

The production of Genesis of the Daleks saw several changes from the script. Maloney altered the opening scene to show the soldiers gunned down by machine guns in slow motion. Nation was displeased with the change, and Maloney later felt that the violent addition was "a bit much".[2] Hinchcliffe and Maloney were not keen on the Doctor's original meeting with the Time Lord, which took place in a lush garden, and changed it to the Skaro war-zone which they felt more appropriate.[1] The Thal soldiers were originally supposed to be boys aged 15 or 16 to illustrate the youth of those fighting in the war, but this was later changed to make them appear more mature.[2] In the Genesis of Terror script, Sarah Jane becomes ill in the third episode from radiation poisoning, and Bettan was a male who was introduced in the fourth episode.[2] Part Five originally had more action in the Dalek incubator room and ended with the Doctor's question of whether he had the right to destroy them.[2]

Casting and costumes

Maloney cast John Franklyn-Robbins as the Time Lord because he had worked with him before and intended his character to resemble Death in The Seventh Seal.[2] Hilary Minster, who played a Thal soldier, had also played a Thal in Planet of the Daleks (1973). Minster had been considered for the role of Mogran.[2] Peter Miles previously played Dr. Lawrence in Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970) and Professor Whitaker in Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1974).[2] Stephen Yardley, who played the Muto Sevrin, later appeared in Vengeance on Varos (1985).[3] During filming of Genesis, Yardley walked into the casting department on his lunch break in costume and asked for a job; because of his costume, they assumed he was a tramp from the street.[2] Dennis Chinnery, who played Gharman, had previously been seen in The Chase (1965) and would later appear in The Twin Dilemma (1984).[3]

The character of Davros was designed by Nation to have created the Daleks in his image, and to also be a "spokesperson" for the Daleks as he felt it was "boring" listening to Daleks giving speeches.[2] The design was inspired by the Mekon, a comic book character with no body but a "green, dome-like head" which Hinchcliffe remembered from his childhood.[1] Davros attracted the attention of BBC prosthetics designer John Friedlander who agreed to come off another show to make Davros' mask. The latex mask was moulded to Michael Wisher's face by make-up artist Sylvia James. Wisher could even eat while wearing the mask.[1] Regular latex instead of the more mouldable foam latex was used because the latter was too expensive.[2] The cast and crew regarded Davros' effects as a great technical achievement considering the budget and time period they worked in. Two children visiting Baker at the BBC studios were scared by Wisher in costume; they thought he was a statue at first.[1] When sitting in Davros' Dalek-like base, Wisher wore knee pads and a kilt because trousers were too uncomfortable.[1] To prepare during rehearsals, Wisher acted in a wheelchair with a paper bag over his head that only had slits cut out for his eyes so he would be used to the "disorienting" situation and be able to express himself without using his whole face.[1] Wisher, a heavy smoker, put two holes in the top of the bag so he could smoke underneath it in rehearsals.[1] Wisher also provided some of the voices for the Daleks with Roy Skelton; in some scenes, he was acting to his own pre-recorded dialogue.[2]

Filming and effects

Genesis of the Daleks was the last serial of the twelfth season to be filmed, after Revenge of the Cybermen.[2] As Sarah Jane had been filmed in Revenge wearing a combat costume, it was added into Genesis that the Doctor would hand her the outfit, to which she changes into by the next scene.[2] The story was mainly filmed in January 1975, with some studio recording carried into February.[4] Location filming for the serial took place at Betchworth quarry in Surrey,[4] which represented the landscape of Skaro.[1] Having had trouble with the Daleks on location in Planet of the Daleks (1973), Maloney scheduled shooting so that they only appeared in studio scenes.[5] The three active Dalek props used in the serial were originals from the 1960s, and their wear was covered by new paint. Five "dummy" Daleks which could not be operated were also used.[2] Hinchcliffe wanted the Daleks to appear more powerful, and intended to achieve this through low angles and lighting. Duncan Brown, who was responsible for studio lighting, used colours and dark lighting to make the Daleks seem as if they were "emerging from the shadows" and to suggest rather than show the world created to viewers.[1]

The same model was used for both the Kaled and the Thal domes.[2] The gas attack in Part One was achieved through dry ice and green lighting.[2] Some of the Thal guns were re-used props from the First Doctor (William Hartnell) serial Galaxy 4 (1965).[2][6] The electric trolley used by the Kaleds in Part One worked in tests, but collapsed when Baker and Marter boarded it.[2] The creature Harry and the Doctor glimpse at the end of Part Two was mainly a reused Ice Warrior costume, while the Thal rocket ship was a reused model from The Ambassadors of Death (1970).[2] During the filming of Part Two, Miles and Chinnery had trouble fitting the gun on the Dalek. As a result, the scene had to be filmed in two takes, bridged with a reaction shot of the Doctor.[2] Part Two is unusual in that it is one of the very few episodes not to begin with a reprise,[2] and also the first to end in a freeze frame.[5][6] A stunt double for Elisabeth Sladen was hired for Sarah's fall from the scaffolding, but Maloney discovered that she would be falling eight feet, while Sladen had fallen ten feet in rehearsals. Maloney ultimately decided to conclude the episode with a freeze frame ending.[2] Maloney would use the freeze frame technique again, most notably with The Deadly Assassin.[5] The third episode overran its 25-minute limit and rather than cut material out the cliffhanger was changed from Davros' speech to the Doctor being electrocuted.[2] The music for the serial was recorded on 3 March 1975 and the dubbing finished the day before Part One aired.[2]

Themes and analysis

The Kaleds in the serial intentionally resemble Nazis.

Nation, who grew up during World War II, intentionally based the Daleks on the Nazis, and this episode contains many deliberate parallels.[1][7] The Kaleds dress in uniforms reminiscent of the Nazis and display "fascist salutes".[7][8] The Kaleds look to "keep [their] race pure" by banishing the Thals and Mutos.[9] Cast and crew members described it as a "warning to the world" about the danger of allowing authoritarianism take over.[1] Physical comparisons have been drawn between the appearance of Nyder and Heinrich Himmler; aside from the resemblance, both wear insignias and spectacles.[10] As production of the third episode began, the producers decided to downplay some of the Nazi symbolism, and took away Nyder's Iron Cross.[2]

Ed Webb and Mark Wardecker, in a paper in Doctor Who and Philosophy, interpreted the Dalek history shown in Genesis of the Daleks as a warning that "scientists will be the one to bring about the ultimate destruction, the ultimate evil, and deliberately so".[9] They also commented that the serial showed that the Daleks were evil by design, rather than evolution.[9] Davros represents a mad scientist who creates a monster that then consumes him.[1] Sarah Honeychurch and Niall Burr, in the same book, wrote that the corruption of the Daleks showed that creatures should not be created with "such limited moral reasoning," and that in our world we cannot "impose our own personal human standards on everybody else".[11]

Genesis of the Daleks also displays a battle between good and evil.[1] Letts enjoyed the fact that the story did not have clear heroes and villains, but rather a conflict of principle.[1] The discussion between the Doctor and Davros about the hypothetical viral weapon demonstrates this. Hinchcliffe described it as the "hero meets antihero" moment, with the two engaged in "intellectual grappling".[1] The episode also presents the "moral dilemma" of whether the Doctor should destroy the Daleks, resulting in the famous "Have I the right?" scene.[1] The Doctor's comparison to knowingly killing a child who would grow up to be a dictator shows how the Doctor's ethics are influenced by his non-linear experience of time.[12] (The Twelfth Doctor would again revisit this theme in the 2015 episodes "The Magician's Apprentice" and "The Witch's Familiar".) He considers the good things that may come out of the Daleks, such as that "many future worlds would become allies".[13] The Doctor's conclusion that he does not have the right is an example of utilitarian reasoning, and a "duty-based ethical" position.[14] Sladen recalled that Baker took the scene very seriously, almost "agonising" over the dialogue.[2]

Comparisons to other stories have been drawn. The Time Lord who appears at the story's beginning is intentionally costumed to resemble Death in Ingmar Bergman's film The Seventh Seal.[2][15] Gareth Roberts has compared this character to the ghost of Hamlet's father, setting the protagonist (the Doctor) on a violent mission with which he has moral qualms.[15] Martin Wiggins, senior lecturer and fellow at the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon, suggests that the Doctor's indecision about destroying the Dalek embryos in the "have I the right?" scene is derived from The Brothers Karamazov.[15]

The DVD version of Genesis of the Daleks released in 2006

Genesis of the Daleks was first broadcast in six weekly parts from 8 March to 12 April 1975. Viewership varied from 8 to 10 million; Parts One and Two were watched by audiences of 10.7 and 10.5 million, Parts Three and Four were watched by audiences of 8.5 and 8.8 million, and Parts Five and Six were watched by audiences of 9.8 and 9.1 million.[2] Audience Appreciation Indexes were taken for the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes, scoring 57, 58, 57, and 56 respectively.[18]

At the time of broadcast, there were some complaints about the level of violence portrayed. Mary Whitehouse, of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, complained that Genesis contained "tea-time brutality for tots".[5][18] Scenes objected to included the depictions of war and Nyder hitting the Doctor.[1] However, David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker, in their Doctor Who: The Television Companion (1998), recorded a positive reaction from fans in regards to creativity and Davros, though one writer noted the ending did not satisfyingly close the story.[19] The BBC's Audience Research Report concluded, "A little more complex than some Doctor Who adventures, perhaps, and with underlying questions of conscience, the serial had been 'different' it was occasionally felt and, although dismissed in some quarters as far-fetched, long drawn-out, confused and/or predictable, had provided acceptable escapist entertainment for the majority."[19] Howe and Walker themselves described the serial as "well-written and full of new ideas, while still remaining true to the Daleks' roots by effectively equating them with the Nazis", and particularly praised the production values, pacing, and moral dilemma. However, they noted a few minor flaws, namely Harry being attacked by a giant clam, dull cliffhangers, and "many of the scientist characters serve no other purpose than to act as Dalek-fodder".[19]

In 2010, Mark Braxton of Radio Times hailed the serial as "Terry Nation's finest hour for the series", especially praising the creation of Davros. He was also positive towards Dudley Simpson's score and Davros's allies who were "impeccably written and played" from Nyder to Gharman. However, he was disappointed that Harry did not have much to do.[4] The A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn noted that it contradicted some aspects of The Daleks but that it "[hit] the emotional target dead-on". He particularly praised Davros and Skaro. However, Bahn felt the "major problem" with the portrayal of the Daleks was that "we're not given any choice but to view them as psychopathic murderers", and the Doctor came across as a "catastrophically incompetent secret agent".[20] DVD Talk's Stuart Galbraith gave Genesis of the Daleks four out of five stars, calling it as a "real fan-pleaser" and writing that Wisher was "superb" as Davros. While noting that the story "is mostly concerned with action and suspense, which it does rather well", he felt it "isn't especially original" as it dealt with common time-travel issues, despite doing it in "intelligent ways".[21] In 2009, SFX listed the scene where the Daleks receive their first blaster as the thirteenth scariest moment of Doctor Who.[22] The magazine also named the scene where Harry is attacked by a giant clam as one of the silliest Doctor Who moments, noting "even the best Doctor Who stories have the occasional dropped stitch".[23] Charlie Jane Anders of io9, in a 2010 article, listed the cliffhanger of Episode Four — in which the Doctor is forced to tell Davros how the Daleks will be defeated in the future — as one of the greatest Doctor Who cliffhangers.[24]

Legacy

Genesis of the Daleks was one of the most widely known serials of the original run as it was repeated often. It was edited into an 85-minute omnibus version and broadcast on BBC1 at 3:00 pm on 27 December 1975,[25] attracting 7.6 million viewers, and also was repeated in two edited 45-minute episodes as part of the "Doctor Who and the Monsters" on 26 July and 2 August 1982, which attracted audiences of 4.9 and 5 million.[26] It was then repeated in its original serial form on BBC Two in 1993 (averaging 2.2 million viewers) and 2000 (averaging 1 to 1.5 million).[2] In a 1998 poll of readers of Doctor Who Magazine, over 2500 voters placed Genesis at the top of a poll to find the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time.[27] In the magazine's 2009 "Mighty 200" poll, asking readers to rank all of the then-made 200 stories, Genesis came in third place, behind The Caves of Androzani (1984) and "Blink" (2007).[28] In a 2014 poll, the magazine's readers again placed the episode in third place.[29] In 2008, The Daily Telegraph named Genesis of the Daleks one of the ten greatest episodes of Doctor Who.[30]

Genesis of the Daleks is the first example in the history of Doctor Who of "outright revisionism"; the creation story of the Daleks is very different from that established in The Daleks (1963),[31] where it was said they evolved from creatures known as Dals, who were once similar to the Thals. Here, the Dals from the original story are changed to Kaleds.[8] Russell T Davies, who revived Doctor Who in 2005, suggested that the origins of the Time War, a conflict between the Time Lords and the Daleks which contributed to the storyline of the new series, began with the Time Lords' attempted genocide of the Daleks in Genesis.[32]

Davros is resurrected in Destiny of the Daleks (1979), played by David Gooderson, and appears in the remaining three Dalek stories of the classic series played by Terry Molloy.[33] He also appears in revived series since "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" (2008), played by Julian Bleach.[33] In The Magician's Apprentice (2015), footage from the episode is used with its plot based on the Fourth Doctor's moral issue if one has the right to kill a child if they knew "that child would grow up totally evil." Davros' early life is additionally covered in the 2006 Big Finish four-part audio series I, Davros,[33] which sees Miles reprising his role as Nyder in fourth episode, Guilt.[34]
