The Tom Baker era hits with a bang in this "Genesis of the Daleks"
After being Transmatted back to the Ark the Time Lords intercpet The Doctor, Sarah and Harry and charge him with a mission. The Time Lords want the Doctor to go back to a point in the creation of the Daleks and make them less argessive beings. Failing in that some kind of weakness that can be used against them later on. Or and this one makes the Doctor think, destory them before they have a chance to become the single greatest threat to the entire cosmos. The Doctor agrees and asks for the coridnates to Skaro. But the time Lords have already sent him and the others. He is also given a time ring. That is the only way to get of Skaro for any of them. Soon enough the Doctor, Sarah and Harry and crossing through a no man land and find themsleves under attack. Making a way towards what looks like a bunker they are hit with gas. Grabbing masks off of dead bodies they try to stay alive only to have The Doctor and Harry taken by Kaled (yes that's right K-A-L-E-D) forces. There they are taken to be interogatted by the scicne core lead by thier leader and greatest sicents the Kaled people have Davros. Menawhile Sarah is captured by the mutant's living in no mans land. They want to kill her while one wants to keep her alive and show the Thalls and Kaleds that they are not the monsters. All to soon the war has hit its high point and Davros wants nothing more then to see his greatest achivement the mark 3 travel machine or as he now calls it Dalek to end this war and make him the supreme leader of all.

DVD Review: genesis of the daleks
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best adventures of the entire "Doctor Who" series, old or new. The story and characters have depth. Elizabeth Sladen's Sarah Jane is shown to be a strong and cabable character. The events in this show affect the entire series afterward, so it is very important for all fans to see. It also shows the Doctor at his best, defying all authority in favor of his own moral compass.
Description of Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks (Story 78)
The Time Lords send the Doctor (Tom Baker), Sarah Jane and Harry on a daunting mission to the Daleks' home planet.One of the most popular story arcs from Doctor Who's "Fourth Doctor" period (starring Tom Baker as the Doctor), writer Terry Nation's Genesis of the Daleks not only fleshes out the back story of the Doctor's most fearsome nemeses--the megalomaniacal, robotic Daleks--but also serves up a thoughtful storyline that doesn't skimp on the action. First aired on the BBC in 1975, the six-episode story has the Doctor and companions Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) summoned to the Daleks' home planet of Skaros at a time prior to their rise to power. Hoping to prevent the domination-hungry beings from developing their warlike behavior, they soon find themselves in the middle of a war between two races, the Kaleds and the Thals, and uncover a plot by a Kaled scientist, Davros, to render his people invincible as the metal-encased Daleks. A gripping story with elements that remain topical even today (ancient cultures locked in an endless war, genetic experimentation, eugenics), Genesis of the Daleks is an excellent starting point for first-time Who viewers, and a fine reminder of the show at its best for longtime fans. The two-disc DVD offers a considerable amount of extras, most notably a commentary track by Baker, Sladen, co-star Peter Miles, and director David Maloney. "Genesis of a Classic" is an hour-long featurette about the story, with interviews from all the major (surviving) cast and crew members, while "The Dalek Tapes" explores the creatures' history via rare clips and interviews with performers and production staff. There's also a clip from a vintage episode of the U.K. children's series Blue Peter that's devoted to Doctor Who models and creatures, as well as the detailed photo gallery and subtitled text commentary that are standards on all Doctor Who DVDs. Those with DVD-ROM can access PDF documents of the 1976 Doctor Who Annual and listings from the Radio Times. --Paul Gaita
