The opening episode of Genesis is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best single episodes in the show's history. Tom's previous episodes had worked particularly well, but Genesis certainly signifies the start of one of the most iconic, best loved periods in the show's history.
The first part is incredibly atmospheric, the setting creepy, sinister and hugely unusual, feeling like a World War 2 War zone, the reality, the dreaded Planet Skaro, during the birth of the Daleks.
So many incredibly interesting things in this one episode alone, The Time Lord's intervention, and fears over the Daleks, the revelation that the Kaleds were the indigenous people on Skaro, alongside the Thaals.
It's the magical trio of Tom Baker, Liz Sladen and Ian Marter that shine through, what a fantastic on screen team they were.
Zero faults, this episode is virtually perfect. 10/10
