In the fifth episode of the six-part story "Genesis of the Daleks," the Doctor (
Tom Baker) steps up his efforts to prevent the demented, deformed genius Davros (Michael Wisher) from creating the mutant Dalek race. Unfortunately, the Doctor and his companions Harry (Ian Marter) and Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) are trapped in Kaled City, where they are surrounded by fanatical supporters of Davros. Can the heroes count upon support from the pocket of anti-Davros activists within the city's walls? First telecast on April 5, 1975, "Genesis of the Daleks, Episode 5" was written by
Terry Nation. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
