I own this one from a Humble Bundle.
I really ought to listen to it sometime…
Just a masterpiece. Very memorable story with great interactions between Davros and Doctor. Every actor does the best they could
For me this is a very good story but not the all timer some people hail it as. It might just be me with this criticism because I think other people interpreted it differently but I remember being bothered by a line where the doctor pretty unambiguously defends the role of capitalist corporations. Just seemed out of character to me. But it is definitely a brilliant character piece to get an insight into what creates such evil in a character, it really does become believable that he turned into such a monster in the conditions which really isn’t easy to do!!!
I went into this one like ugh yeah yeah Davros whatever but no, it is actually a banger. This little trilogy really is good
Unfortunately that’s Lance Parkin’s MO 
I enjoy Davros but I don’t think it’s one of Six’s best stories—and I find the idea (Six and Davros working together) more interesting than the execution. But it’s still a good story!
The beginning of an absolutely stacked Audio Club month. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But Colin Baker and Terry Malloy steal the show in some Oscar-level performances.
I’m glad people took away something from this one because I didn’t really get much out of it. Terry Malloy was awesome thought, but I found the politics of Davros a little underdeveloped for what we had going on here. It wound up being pretty low at a 5/10 for me.
Is it maybe a bit overrated? I suppose, but it’s excellent!
With this we get such a great Character Piece, delving further into Davros, and honestly it’s great to have a Story where he is the sole focus, no Daleks to be seen. (Honestly, I am surprised, is that the only Audio Stories where the Daleks don’t appear with him? I think so, at least).
Malloy and Baker are great here, and I love their Interactions, dare I say Baker is the one who has the best banter with Malloy out of any Doctor really, so it was great seeing them face off again. Overall really enjoyed this one!
A fantastic audio debut for Davros, here we have such a steong character piece between him and the Doctor. Malloy and Baker both shine, and the first of their many audio dramas together. And it is lovely to have a Davros story without the Daleks, to let the spotlight properly shine on him.
Utterly fantastic story. A true masterpiece. It’s long, it’s superbly performed and it’s a sharp character study.
Compelling Character Study: The audio drama delves deeply into Davros’s psyche, exploring his vulnerability, fractured humanity, and tragic backstory, particularly through flashbacks involving his unspoken love, Shan.
Ambiguity and Tension: The narrative keeps listeners guessing about Davros’s true intentions, balancing the possibility of redemption against his ultimate scheme for intergalactic domination.
Strong Performances: Terry Molloy delivers a career-best as Davros, while Colin Baker’s commanding portrayal of the Sixth Doctor offers fiery philosophical duels. Standout supporting performances from Bernard Horsfall and Wendy Padbury add layers of intrigue.
Thought-Provoking Themes: The story examines power, ambition, morality, and the dangers of corporate greed, making it as intellectually engaging as it is emotionally resonant.
Gripping Pacing and Structure: The two-part format maintains suspense and intrigue, with a particularly effective cliffhanger in Part 1 and a ferocious confrontation in the finale.
