Series 1, Episode 8 - "Do I have the right?"

Yes, you have the right to enjoy our last Who review for a while. This week on Hit or Miss: Doctor Who, we’re wrapping up our first batch of Dalek deep dives with a true sci-fi titan: Genesis of the Daleks! D.K. takes the wheel as host, but don’t panic—Mike’s still riding shotgun with his trusty sack of behind-the-scenes trivia. Joining them is first-time guest but long-time Whovian Phil Newman, who’s ready to help us tackle the best Genesis since Phil Collins. Before we get to Davros and his megalomaniacal skincare routine, D.K. puts Phil through a pre-show initiation to find out favourite Dalek stories, top-tier Doctors, and other Whoniverse highlights. D.K has also prepared a Hit or Miss segment featuring a nearly-but-not-quite companion, a less-beloved Dalek tale, and a Jodie Whittaker story that split the fanbase like Skaro on a bad day. Then it’s time for the big questions: morality, manipulation, Time Lord meddling, Davros' debut, Nazi parallels, ethical dilemmas, unforgettable moments, and yes… that giant clam. Is this the origin story to end all origin stories? Or does it just raise more uncomfortable questions about genetic experimentation and fashion goggles? We're on a little Doctor Who break after this one, so set coordinates, grab your time ring, and join us for one last hurrah (for now). We'll be back before you can say “Kaled mutations in a polycarbide shell!”. Should you stay tuned? Yes, you SHOULD do it!
