Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Wisher was unavailable to reprise the role of Davros from Genesis of the Daleks, as he was on tour in Australia. David Gooderson had to wear the same mask for that story, which didn't fit his face properly.
- GoofsWhen the daleks follow Davros,after the Doctor detonates the bomb, the top of the dalek on the far right shifts briefly before settling back onto the bottom half, almost like a shrug.
- Quotes
Davros: Doctor!
Doctor Who: Davros! You don't look a day older, and I'd hoped you were dead.

Logic goes out of the window. It's Dalek Dodgems......
Now a few cracks start appearing, I understand Michael Wisher was unavailable, so David Gooderson stepped in. Nothing wrong with him as an actor, but it just doesn't work. For starters there is no work on his voice, so he sounds wrong, he doesn't look right either somehow, now he just looks like a man in an ill fitting rubber mask. The command that Wisher had has gone. Don't even get me started on Davros being propelled like The Flinstones Mobile! He runs into the wall and they didn't re-shoot it!!
More awful dialogue from some of the Daleks, and some really rather bizarre music, it feels so wrong. Not sure I approve of the Doctor wheeling Davros around. Davros seems so inept, The Daleks once again seem a little dull, they needed to be more impulsive, more aggressive, why didn't the Dalek exterminate Tyssan? It just kept bobbing side to side. The Dalek says 'self sacrifice illogical, therefore impossible, I'll remember that in Part 4.
The best part of the episode has to be The Doctor's dialogue with Davros, Tom is massively charismatic, Gooderson does his best, but he's up against it. I like his explanation of what happened to him at the end of Genesis.
Parts 1 and 2 were not what I'd call compelling, but they were by no means bad episodes, I'm afraid to say it but Part 3 is not good. There are too many flaws, it's a bit of a mess really, 4/10
