Season 12, Episode 13
10/10
No mid story lull here, this is brilliant.

It s no wonder Genesis of the Daleks is adored by fans, when you watch and take notice of it, you realise how spot on this six part story truly is.

Part Three carries forward the quality of the first two episodes, with virtually every six part story there comes a lull towards the middle, not the case here, this episode is fast paced, thrilling, and incredibly enjoyable.

Some great acting from Lis Sladen, you see the terror in her face when she's at the top of the rocket, and subsequently dangled over the top, that's a really nasty moment, very well acted.

I hadn't particularly noticed, but almost everything on Skaro is a threat, The Kaleds, The Thaals, The Mutos, and of course The Daleks. The Doctor, Sarah and Harry having very little help, must battle against foes from all sides. It's fascinating the detail that goes into Davros's intention for his creatures, from this episode you get true belief that The Daleks would indeed become the dominant force.

Wisher and Miles superb once again. Another excellent cliffhanger, that's three so far, most episodes were lucky if they got one or two.

Brilliance. 10/10
