Viewing party #19! Another beginning... the origins of the Daleks!

"Have I the right?" It's time for another universally acknowledged classic - 1974's "Genesis of the Daleks." The fourth story in Tom Baker's premiere season, this story takes the 4th Doctor, Sarah, and Harry to Skaro on a mission from the Time Lords: prevent the Daleks from ever being created. Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, rewrites their origin story and introduces us to their (fictional) creator for the first time - the crippled scientist Davros. Full of classic moments and stand-out performances that resonate into the new series to this day, this is widely considered THE greatest Doctor Who episode ever made. Per usual, bring a drink and a snack to share and witness (as Russell T. Davies later decided) the opening shots of the Time War! [Note: This is a 6-part story, so we're budgeting a little extra time for this one.]
