This is a fantastic box set. Packaging all the Davros tv adventures & numerous audio drama's together & lashing them with exclusive extras has created one of the best Doctor Who dvd releases yet. It contains the last five Doctor Who TV serials to feature the iconic Daleks & all eight audio drama's to feature their evil creator Davros. Packed with plenty of extras this is supreme value for money and a must for any Dalek fan. The stories themselves are great, the first story entitled Genesis of the Daleks, is a classic and even if the other stories don't match the standard set there still good in their own right. 'Genesis' delves into the origins of the Daleks and introduces the character of Davros. Davros is a superb villain, he's utterly evil, a scientific genius and a megalomaniac. He's the polar opposite of the Doctor and as such makes for a proper adversary. As for the quality of the stories - they're all very good even if they may not match the classic status 'Genesis' holds. The… more »

This is a fantastic box set. Packaging all the Davros tv adventures & numerous audio drama's together & lashing them with exclusive extras has created one of the best Doctor Who dvd releases yet. It contains the last five Doctor Who TV serials to feature the iconic Daleks & all eight audio drama's to feature their evil creator Davros. Packed with plenty of extras this is supreme value for money and a must for any Dalek fan. The stories themselves are great, the first story entitled Genesis of the Daleks, is a classic and even if the other stories don't match the standard set there still good in their own right. 'Genesis' delves into the origins of the Daleks and introduces the character of Davros. Davros is a superb villain, he's utterly evil, a scientific genius and a megalomaniac. He's the polar opposite of the Doctor and as such makes for a proper adversary. As for the quality of the stories - they're all very good even if they may not match the classic status 'Genesis' holds. The acting (particularly Tom Baker) is generally to a high standard while the writing varies from good to great. The special effects are (for the time at least) impressive while the settings, ranging from gritty London to a scarred wasteland, are nicely done. Praise must also be given to the Doctor Who restoration team who have ensured top notch picture and sound quality and stayed faithful to the episodes by not making any unnecessary alterations. This is just my opinion of course. The special features are also of high quality. Items such as the audio commentaries and documentary's are fascinating while things like production subtitles and CGI effects are superb. 'Remembrance of the Daleks' benefits the most. Its much improved over its single disc predecessor and is now a 2-disc special edition, exclusive to this box set. With two new documentary's, introductions to the deleted/extended scenes, a 5.1 digital surround sound track and much more this story has finally got the release it deserves. There's also the new 'Davros Connections' documentary pulling the Davros stories into a single chronology while exploring the character in-depth. These features make this box set all the more essential and massively increase its value. Then there are the eight audio drama's. These are good, with good voice acting and decent writing, they wont win any awards but they're done well enough, certainly pleased me and fill out a few story gaps between the tv serials as well further exploring the Daleks, Davros and their symbiotic relationship. A brand new, exclusive to this box set ,audio drama entitled 'The Davros Mission' is in this set as well. If you already have the four previous dvd's then you need (unless you're a 'hardcore' dalek fan like me) to question whether you really need it but for those who don't have the other adventures then this set is undeniably a must, and with the extra content even those who own 'Genesis' and 'Resurrection' etc should give this some much deserved thought.
