This piece is from the story "Genesis of the Daleks", starring Tom Baker as the fourth Doctor.
Arriving on the planet Skaro at the very genesis of the Dalek menace, the Doctor is tasked with preventing the seemingly inevitable ascension of the armoured monsters as a conquering force in the Universe. The Doctor meets Davros, a hideously disfigured scientist confined to a mechanized chair, but nonetheless more dangerous than anyone could imagine. Though in the employ of the Kaleds, the insane genius is in fact creating the ruthlessly savage Daleks for his own reasons. The Doctor must wrestle with both Davros and his own conscience as he struggles to prevent the rise of the Time Lords' deadliest enemy.
Undergoing eight regenerations in the course of the long running Classic Series, each with their own idiosyncrasies and distinct character, there has been a Doctor for everyone. For those who grew up with Tom Baker's eccentric fourth or Jon Pertwee's dapper third, or perhaps younger fans who only knew Sylvester McCoy's gently spoken seventh Doctor, there will always be a single version with whom they most closely connect. Regardless of preference, all have known the Doctor as a friend. They have joined him in his Tardis, sharing his adventures and fighting Daleks and Cybermen at his side, if sometimes from behind the safety of a sofa.
