When Davros was introduced in Doctor Who during "Genesis of the Daleks," I assumed that this would be the only time we ever saw him. Quite frankly I was always disappointed that the Movellans never returned to the series. The concept of two totally logical species trying to outdo each other is still a classic. But a few short years later, Davros returned after thousands of years in limbo in "Destiny of the Daleks." I like this one because the Daleks are fighting another robot race called the Movellans, although we don't learn that right away. This is an important story in that it was the one in which (for better or for worse), Davros became a permanent fixture in the classic series. My favorite part about this DVD are the extras with the Prime Computer ads that Tom Baker and Lalla Ward recorded during the late '70's. I knew they did them but had never seen them and it was a great treat for me.
It was Romana #2's first story and the start of one of the best Doctor-Companion teams in the series' history. One of the things I like about this is seeing the justapositions between the Doctor and Davros and how they approach the final solution. But in my opinion, the BBC saved the best for last. This is released as part of a Davros box set, but I already owned all the Davros stories so I didn't need the box set. The Terry Nation tribute was a fascinating trek through Dalek history during the '60's and '70's.
