Things begin to go pear shaped as the Mark III travel machines turn on their creators in the classic 1975 story Genesis of the Daleks.

the nihilism of this final episode is quite shocking even today... only in the 70s was this level of grimness allowed. :grim:

I enjoyed tonight's episode, although could have done without the use of shit music to lure the spiders.

Think they missed a trick though should have used Lullaby by the Cure, or maybe Boris the spider by The Who.:brainfood:
