Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks: Part One (1975)
Season 12, Episode 11
10/10
Episode One
29 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Tho aired in '75, I would not see these programs and hadn't an ever-lovin' clue who Doctor Who was or had been, until 1980 or so, when it aired in the states. So beginning with Robot, to make matters more difficult, Sontaran Experiment and ARk In Space were aired out of sequence, making following the overall story of the Doctor, Harry and Sarah rather confusing.

And 'travelling' with the time ring or bracelet further left me with no idea what a Tardis or police call box might be.

With the first episode, we get endless Nazi comparisons with mutos, Thals and Kaleds.

At the end of this episode we first see Davros and I get my first glimpse of a Dalek. What on Earth? Silliest looking thing I had ever seen.

Likewise, this eccentric Doctor and Harry are taken captive, leaving Sarah Jane at the mercy of the mutos. Good luck, Sarah.
