Doctor Who: Davros (#48)
By Lance Parkin

Davros
From The Back Cover...

TAI stock has shot up by over fifteen percent on news that galaxy-famous scientist Davros, controversial creator of the Daleks, has been hired to work on unspecified technological projects.'

Davros has been given the chance to redeem himself.

Humanity stands on the verge of a new era, but it needs the help of the galaxy's greatest ever scientist. But Davros is dead... isn't he?

From the bunkers and shelters of ancient Skaro to the gleaming Domes of the Future Earth Empire, Davros has always been a man of destiny. Now he's working for mankind's benefit. But how much do we really know about Davros?

Has Davros really turned over a new leaf? The Doctor certainly doesn't think so. But is the Doctor always right?

Episode Endings

Episode One:
The robot reactivates, but when Willis threatens it, the Doctor realises it has gone into defensive mode. Kimberly asks what that means, and the Doctor tells her that it's going to kill them...

Episode Two:
The Doctor is adamant that Davros survived. People like Davros - and the Doctor for that matter - don't know any different...

Memorable Quotes

Davros: 'I have the ultimate power, the power over life and death.'

Arnold Baynes: 'That's what separates people like us from people like you, Pilot. You and the rest of the herd would look at this and see nothing. We see an opportunity.'

Lorraine Baynes: 'You can't even say the name. It's Davros, Pilot. This is the body of Davros.'

Davros: 'I am the greatest scientist! The greatest mind Skaro has ever known.'

Lorraine Baynes: 'Don't worry, Davros, I'll keep you safe.'

The Doctor: 'If she knows Davros, then she knows that he is one of the... No, actually, he is the most evil being this galaxy has ever created!' Arnold Baynes: 'Are you always this melodramatic?'

The Doctor: 'I started them. The idea of reading two rather turgid volumes written by an apologist for the Daleks stuck in my craw.'

Davros: 'You think I am unused to pain?'

Arnold: 'If they knew how the galaxy really worked, they'd know it's because of people like me, not despite it. I'm the solution, not the problem.'

Comments

Davros is the second of the loose trilogy featuring the Doctor's past foes, and is the second DW audio script from Lance Parkin.

Terry Molloy reprises his role as Davros here, with Wendy Padbury, who played the Second Doctor's companion Zoe during the Sixties, also featuring along with Bernard Horsfall, who appeared numerous times previously on Doctor Who, most notably as Goth in The Deadly Assassin.
