Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks: Part One (1975)
Season 12, Episode 11
10/10
The defining Dalek story in the Doctor Who canon.
19 December 2016
Genesis of the Daleks is one of the best stories in the classic Doctor Who series. This one is an atmospheric, metaphorical horror story centered around the creation of the universe's most fearsome killing machines. And The Doctor is right in the middle of this historical moment when the Daleks are born; can he stop their terrorizing of the universe before it's too late?

Dalek creator Terry Nation wrote this story, and he does a fantastic job of world-building mixed in with symbolic referencing to Nazi-Germany, and this story is still considered by many to be one of the defining Doctor Who stories ever made.

Genesis of the Daleks set a high benchmark for the show and you can still feel this story's impact on Doctor Who to this day.
