Customer Reviews of Doctor Who - Revelation of the Daleks (Episode 143)
Last great story of the last great Doctor The heading says it all. Too bad the next season would be Colin Baker's last. He deserved more time on the show. If only I had a Tardis, I'd go back to 1986 and exterminate Michael Grade, but alas... I agree with the reviewers who praise Alexi Sayle's performance as the DJ. As Peri exclaims in her phoney American accent, "he's greeeaat!" Speaking of accents, most American accents on Doctor Who are very transparent. However, Mr. Sayle truly sounds like an American. The only detraction from this story is the annoying Tasambeker, played by Jenny Tomasin. This may be a politically incorrect statement, but she looks and sounds retarded. Other than that, this is a wonderful adventure worth many repeated viewings.
Classic WHO at its Very Best
Revelation of the Daleks is a two part episode from 1985 that features Colin Baker as the Doctor.

>The story begins with the Doctor and Peri arriving on Necros, mourning the death of an old friend. Little do the time travellers know that word of their friend's demise is a clever ruse to lure the Doctor into an encounter with some very old enemies.
<
>For on Necros, everything is run by the Great Healer, who is making a fortune with his galactic funeral parlor and some rather sinister side business ventures. Clive Swift of Keeping up Appearances fame (known to fans of that british comedy as Richard Bucket) appears as Mr Jobel, Caretaker of the funeral parlor, Tranquil Rose, who naturally takes a more than passing interest in young Peri.
<
>But it is the Doctor who gets into the main action when a business partner of the Healer plots against him by hiring a well known assassin of the Grand Order to do him in. The Doctor quickly learns the Healer is in reality his long running nemesis, Davros. Davros is using the bodies of the dead to further his new race of Daleks loyal to him alone.
<
>But more than one betrayal awaits our heroes, and the Doctor is brought before Davros one more time, as Daleks begin desposing of those who are a threat to Davros' cunning plans.

"It would take a mountain to crush an ego like yours."
Doctor Who's twenty-second season (Colin Baker's first season as Doctor Number Six) closed in the spring of 1985 with Revelation of the Daleks, written by then-script editor Eric Saward and directed by Graeme Harper. Revelation may not be as strong as Genesis of the Daleks (with Tom Baker) or Resurrection of the Daleks (with Peter Davison), but it is one of the stronger Sixth Doctor stories. The Doctor and Peri (Nicola Bryant) arrive on the funeral planet of Necros, home of the cryogenics repository run by Jobel (played by Keeping Up Appearances' Clive Swift). The time travelers have come to pay their respects to the late agronomist Arthur Stengos. Terry Malloy returns as Davros, the creator of the Doctor's oldest enemies, the Daleks. Malloy is the third actor to play Davros, and the only actor to repeat the role. Davros has created a whole new breed of Daleks obedient only to him rather than the Supreme Dalek on Skaro, the Daleks' original homeworld. I love the ivory and gold color scheme for Davros' Daleks. Eleanor Bron (who made a cameo in the Tom Baker story City of Death) plays Kara, who runs a factory which produces and distributes protein concentrates as food for developing planets. Kara's profits are being sucked away by The Great Healer (a.k.a. Davros) to fund the creation of his new Daleks. She hires Orcini (William Gaunt), a former member of the Grand Order of the Knights of Oberon, to assassinate Davros. Alexei Sayle of The Young Ones fame adds some comic relief as the DJ, who provides music along with humorous announcements. Producer John Nathan-Turner had been gradually increasing the violence over the past three seasons with Peter Davison's Doctor, and Season 22 was the most violent yet, and Revelation was, without a doubt, the most violent story of the season. The story's greatest strengths come from acting performances--especially from the supporting cast, including Swift, Bron and Gaunt--as well as Eric Saward's writing (Saward also wrote Earthshock and Resurrection of the Daleks, two of the best stories from the Peter Davison era) and the direction of Graeme Harper (The Caves of Androzani). Revelation of the Daleks made a strong close to a largely disappointing season, and I expect this to make an excellent DVD release.
