The true revelation is that the Doctor's statue was Davros's attempt at a prank.

Two best lines: 1. "I believe that would have created what I believe is termed 'consumer resistance'" 2. "I have a bomb, and I would like to explode it."

Best line: The Doctor "No arm in trying." to Davros after his hand has been shot off. Also the moment Davros is removed and the Doctor makes to shake his hand, Terry manages to portray a D'oh! moment in all that get-up.

That transparent dalek was pure art. Wonder if there's an example of one left in existence?

Wait, Eric Saward wrote a story that had the Doctor not doing anything? Gee. What a surprise. Didn't see that coming. *Cough*

Vogel: Be seated, gentlemen. Orcini: We prefer to stand. Kara: Of course. How foolish. As men of action, you must be like coiled springs - alert, ready to pounce. Orcini: Nothing so romantic. I have an artificial leg with a faulty hydraulic valve. When seated the valve is inclined to jam.LOL

The Dalek legal system is a kangaroo court. Just ask the Master.

I thought the Davros line was less him knowing Davros was there but more him horrified that the Daleks have finally learned how to reproduce

Davros: The head was a clone decoy, and I'm the REAL Davros! Me, who saw him infected by the Movellan Virus in the last story: (Doubt)

“Shut The Fool Up!” I thought that line was gonna go differently.

The Knights of Oberon intrigue me... particularly how Saward writes them up in the novelization as a kind of multi-species evil thumping task force of genetically enhanced badasses. All the times Davros offered the Doctor command of an army of modified Dalek peacekeepers to set the universe to rights? The Knights are pretty much it and all they have to do with the Doctor is beating the shit out of him and threatening to kill him.

I’m sure that the next story will featured him at Blackpo- OH WAIT!

Revelation of the Daleks was like a horror film I thought when I first saw it.

Fun fact: the novelisation revealed that DJ is the DJ’s real name as his full name is Derek Johnson

Let’s not forget to mention the Aristocats brooch that Colin is rocking

Fun fact: According to the Cold War feature on the Attack of the Cybermen DVD Eric Saward wrote this story during his 1984 summer holiday when he was off contact which is ironic seeing that normally script editors can’t commission their own stories.

Love the dark and violent tone of this story and the music fits it perfectly.

2:09 it always cracks me up how the Dalek doesn't give a shit about Lilt's pass

5:48 davros is laughing funniest shit i've ever seen

“The Humanoid form makes a superb concentrated protein”

I really like this story. It's dark and spooky. My one real complaint is that the Doctor is a bit side lined, I haven't watched any more of this era, but I have watched Clever Sick Films' series of documentarys (check out his channel! It's great) on his Colin Baker era, he said about how Eric Saward arguably sabotaged the show and how his stories had the Doctor doing pretty much nothing. The Doctor does almost nothing to advance the story in this episode, damn shame because Colin Baker can do great work, his "Power mad conspirators" speech in Trial of A Time Lord is brilliantly acted. In short, good story, I like how they make the Daleks feel threatening, as they should do, by having a large cast, it makes room for the Daleks to have more kills, it literally takes place in a funeral home.

Alexis Sale is amazing in this story. The rock and roll gun is a glorious idea

Great to see an all time favorite of mine getting some much deserved love, even if the titular monsters are unfortunately underutilized.

That DJ guy should've used Goofy Goober Rock its much more effective than Rock n Roll

Next Time: The final Dalek story of the classic series is upon us, And the war between the Imperial Daleks and the Renegade Daleks for the Hand of Omega has begun, It’s a day for a Remembrance Day, Unlimited Rice puddings etc etc!

Anyone else notice Davros little microphone is on the opposite side to what it was in 'Genesis', 'Destiny' and 'Resurrection', also the red wires that are normally attached to his blue eye, are attached to his head brace instead. if you listen to the 'Dr.Who' audio 'The Davros Mission', it was the grey Skaro Daleks themselves who replaced his hand that was shot off with a robotic hand, (the robotic hand was first seen in 'The Stolen Earth').

Both Roy Skelton and Royce Mills ‘R.I.P both of them’ return to voice the Daleks and their a fun to listen to.

Davros obviously watches bad prank videos on KZfaq. That's where he got the fake statue idea from. JNT was a genius.

Narrator: "It was not Nicola Bryant's real accent..."

Never thought i'd see Rock and Roll kill Daleks, yet here we are. By the way, are you planning on reviewing Earthshock? I'd really love an analysis of that story

The music that plays when Peri meets the DJ is the same music playing when Rose meets Jack Harkness

I was a teenager when this and Resurrection came out. There's a host of guests stars in these episodes that you've missed - stuntcasting was a feature of the JNT DW era. The DJ is Alexei Sayle who was a well known stand-up comedian, William Gaunt was concurrently starring in a BBC sitcom called "No Place like Home" as a middle-aged dad - so to see him here as a ruthless is contrast and a half. Eleanor Bron (Kara) had a quick appeared in 1979's City of Death.

The DJ should have been a companion, could you imagine the type of show you could put on with access to the TARDIS!? It's a DJ's wet dream.

I always wonder why the DJ randomly decides to leave his gun. I mean, what did he think was going to happen?

I love your reviews. You speak with real enthusiasm for the series

Another day in December, another Dalekcember story!

Revelation of the daleks,or why you shouldn't run a funeral parlor and a supermarket out of the same building...

I simply love this story. The design, the texture of the narrative, the witticisms, the grotesque characters. It's all dark and dirty and camp and delicious. Mmmmm. Second helpings, please.

A deliciously dark tale inspired by Evelyn Waugh's 'The Loved One'

Having just watched Resurrection of the Daleks and this recently, I also recommend Big Finish fans listening to Davros (I think it's Main Range 48) between the two stories. I think it helps bridge the gap in Davros' state of mind gives context to some of his plans/choices in this episode when he is shown issues facing the galaxy through Space Capitalism. It's free on Spotify if anyone wants to listen to it although I do recommend listening to it on Premium.

Davros laughing at prank compilations is canon

Don't know if you've listened to the "I Davros" audio series, but they write it so the "trial" the daleks refer to is more a trial in the sense of a test rather than legal. Essentially after everything he has done which the daleks consider to be crimes against them they are unsure if his continued existance is a benefit or detriment to the daleks cause and so are trying to determine if he is still useful enough to keep around.

This is a good story with a good Davros

Is Davros watching Stath Lets Flats?!

This is my favourite Dalek story of the classic era.

The story was inspired by Evelyn Waugh's comic novel The Loved One

Loving these reviews, but especially this one as only 3 minutes in you've helped me solve something I was stuck on in the crossword for DWM 😂

Next month is a Cyberman January, or...?

Alexei Sayle (Young Ones) and Clive Swift (Keeping Up Appearances) Only appearance in the same program?

So basically the DJ has got a Dubstep gun like in Saints Row IV. Yupp, got it.

Pretty good but I think that the bit with the machinery containing davros head should have been kept as a prototype to his dalek emperor shell in remembrance and why wasn't the djs name be VJ (Video Jockey) instead?

Lol, "me too" incident waiting to happen.

Gr8 video bro!

My favourite line: "Its a bomb! A great big bomb!"

The best Dalek story EVER!

My favourite Dalek story ever ever!

Definitely thought Davros was about to say “Shut the fuck up!”

I like Revelation of the Daleks

The D.J.: "Here's a a special track for you from 1980's Earth - 'Ullo John Gotta New Mota'"

Like a lot of season 22, this story has some issues when it comes to storytelling in a 45-minute episode. A large part of part one is spent with the Doctor and Peri journeying to the scene of whatever conflict is taking place. In other stories these are endless scenes in the TARDIS, but here it's them walking into the trap Davros has set (I guess that is all part of his plan) Yes, it's grim as all get out. It was probably one of the final straws for Michael Grade to take the show off the air as he did....well, that and the Two Doctors. But yet, I still like it.

My thinking is that The Doctor arrived too early to see Davros' actual plan, to have the Dalek Stengos execute The Doctor, which was foiled by the body-snatchers

I think this is definitely Saward’s best work. Earthshock had a brilliant first episode but went a bit downhill after than IMO. The increasingly emotional and corny dialogue for the cybermen “Eeexcellent..” brought it down a fair bit

SOYLENT GREEN IS DALEKS!

Haha! Dalekcember great review i reviewed this one a month ago.

I like the fact that they concentrate on back story - this one seems believable

Yes, I did see what you did there. NOW YOU NEED TO RUN!

Wait was the statue of the doctor made there before he arrived or after because Davros wouldn’t know what the six doctor looked like because the last time he saw the doctor it was the 5th doctor

Sounds like I need to give this story a much fairer shake. I'm one for a slow burn, but this was just a bit too slow for my tastes in my initial viewing, and I couldn't get over how silly the cliffhanger was. But maybe I'll better appreciate the things you highlighted here.

Colin Spaull (who plays lilt in this) was also the guy who played in the jungle over the people getting converted to cybermen in the parallel world david tennant double parter

Since when would daleks ever hold a trial???? wouldn't they exterminate Davros on the spot?

whats that clip from at 8:57?

Lovely use of Tenacious D there 😄

That Gabriel Iglesias clip is super fitting for such a dumb pun

16:04 I was expecting "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar.

The DJ is played by comedian Alexi Sayle. How JNT managed to get an alternative comedian in 1980s Doctor Who I don’t know.

The only thing that I think would have improved this serial is if the Doctor just so happened to visit and come across all of this instead of being lured there by Davros for.....reasons? Would have made the Doctor feel more important as an instigating character as he then has to work out what's happening and actively work to stop it and defeat Davros who doesn't want him there

Great dalek story!

I often forget how brutal 80s dalek stories are, and i love it

The doctor likes to slip in unnoticed. In that outfit?

I didn't know Davros auditioned for Futurama.

The Doctor has as much influence in this story as Indiana Jones does in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Grew up with this one. Parts of it are traumatising for a child.

Is it just me or are the Dalek voices a bit off in this story? Like they have a cold?

This REALLY WORKS! My favorite thing? The characters look like the beloved supermarionation characters of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson...most particularly the ones from Thunderbirds. Incfedibly well done. I'm subbed.

Ah, yea- Another review.

Thanks for the review... even though I have seen all the shows of Doctor Who, I don't actually remember this show (a few scenes are familiar). Perhaps I'll try to find and watch this show. I found the question to Peri "Is that your normal accent?" to be incredibly funny, given that she was pretending to be American in Doctor Who. I seem to remember reading somewhere that JNT wanted an American, and she pretended to be American, even though she was English young lady who had spent some time in America.

CyberMay pleaseeeee!

Revelation is strange, the 2 main things everyone likes about the show (the doctor & the Daleks) have little to nothing to do in this story and the weakest aspect of the story, but everything else besides them are great.

hello

8:55 where did that clip from where that guy is laughing so hard?

So I'm the only one who really doesn't like the Dalek voices in this episode? Same guy who did them in Resurrection but they had better effects added onto them in that story, they sounded way better in that story

This is a good Davros story but the Daleks are kinda an afterthought. But with a story and setting this bonkers I really don't care. Easily one of Six's best TV stories and proof that Eric Saward could reach Holmes levels of crazy and bizarre.

So, eh, how 'bout that conservative majority? Glad I'm in Scotland, but oh boy we better strap in. All of us.

I didn't hear you talk about the actor playing the DJ. Alexei Sayles is devoted Marxist and a comedy god...one of the giants that worked on the legendary "The Young Ones."

Love this one. Ressurection is grim, but this is macabre, but in a entertaining way. Orcini and Bostock are brilliant.

Where can I get it that’s not on Brit box dvd and blue ray?

Everything about this story was head and shoulders above so much of the rest of the era. The atmosphere, production values, characters, strong cast, setting and gory idea etc were way better than much of DW of the time.

Since when do daleks know how to run a business?

I don't mind this story. It's just the Daleks voices that I hate.
