Destiny of the Daleks: The Fourth Doctor, Romana II & the Return of Davros

The Daleks are back—and unfortunately for the universe, they’ve found Davros! This week on Earth Station Who, the crew travels back to 1979 to review the Fourth Doctor classic “Destiny of the Daleks,” starring the legendary Tom Baker and marking Lalla Ward’s debut as the newly regenerated Romana II.

The Doctor and Romana arrive on a seemingly dead planet that turns out to be a very familiar place: Skaro, home of the Daleks. But the Doctor’s oldest enemies aren’t alone. Locked in a seemingly endless war with the robotic Movellans, the Daleks have returned to Skaro searching for their creator, Davros, hoping his twisted genius can finally give them the advantage they need.

Join the Earth Station Who crew as we break down all four episodes, from Tom Baker and Lalla Ward’s instantly entertaining chemistry to the return of Davros, the wonderfully disco-era Movellans, and, of course, plenty of Dalek mayhem. How does Destiny of the Daleks hold up more than four decades later, and is it truly worthy of its place in Classic Doctor Who history?

Grab your sonic screwdriver, watch out for Daleks, and whatever you do, don't get into a fashion contest with a Movellan.
