 The Doctor travels takes him to a metting with old enmies and new alike. Mar 01, 2010
In Doctor Who episdoe entitled "Destiny of the Daleks" The Doctor and a newly regenrated Romanna after the events of the "Key to Time" series are flying blind. Or more precisely flying with the aid of the "Randomiser" a device in which the Doctor can escape the wrath of The Black Guardian after thwarting his plans. Land a strange planet with high levels of radiation. More surpirsing to the Doctor is that he has a feeling he's been here before. But then doesn't a time lord always have that feeling? Without any warning they witness a a spaceship landing, and an odd assortment of beings placing rocks over a dead body and strange earthquakes that seem to be going on with greater frequency. The Doctor can't put his finger on it but they all have something to do with the samething. Soon enough a tremor sending Romanna in a shaft. The Doctor is pinned by a pillar and at the mercy of the Movellans the race inside the spacship that landed. Worse still Romanna has been captured by the Daleks. All to soon the Doctor is piecing everything togeather and finds that has landed back on Sakro but hundreds of years since his last vist. He along with the Movellans try and figure out what the Daleks want on Skaro since nothing is left for them to use. Or is it? Shortly a Dalek prisoner by the name of Tyson who escpaed aids the Doctor and the Movellans in reaching what the Daleks are looking for. Davros himself or what looks like the remains. The Doctor thinks Davros to be dead, then why do the Daleks want him? But Davros is not dead as we see with his withered hand moving. Can the Doctor stop Davros, the Daleks and maybe his new freinds the Movellans before its to late? Your going to have and find out and see in this "Destiny of the Daleks"
Not Tom Baker's best but rather fun. Jan 20, 2010
Genesis of the Daleks might be the best Doctor Who story of all time, definitely Baker's best, the sequel Destiny... certainly is not. Destiny of the Daleks is not deep, and it is not as imposingly designed or capable of making the Daleks and Davros menacing, however this story is very fun. Tom Baker is always wonderful as the fourth Doctor and he is joined by Lala Ward as Romana for the first time in this story. The two have wonderful chemistry, the were married off camera, and they really shine in this episode. There are some just great moments in light-hearted Doctor Who here.
The new actor playing Davros is not nearly as imposing as his predecessor and the Daleks are looking a tad...chinsy this time. But overall, this is a fun, albeit campy episode. Oh... and the other race of aliens are just... very very silly. Still a very fun buy.

 Bad story from a bad season, Aug 01, 2009
Another horrible installment from the horrible season 17 which only contained one good (albeit very good) story Doctor Who - City of Death (Episode 105). The other 4, including this one, were cheap (even by Doctor Who standards) poorly written and executed which caused a bored Tom Baker to let loose his worst over-the-top ad-libbing tendencies, just compounding the badness. If you are not familiar with this low-point in the T. Baker era, stay far away otherwise you will curse yourself for flushing your hard-earned money.
Tom Baker's tenure also produced the best Doctor Who ever made so seek out stuff from 74-77 first.
'Destiny of the Daleks' is one of the worst Dalek stories but Tom Baker also starred in the all-time classic Dalek story Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks (Episode 78). If you don't have that one, get it!
Great First Lala Ward ( Romana II) adventure, Davros are Back! Jun 15, 2009
Great First adventure of the very cute Lala Ward as Romana ( No wonder the Doctor himself married her), and the always welcome return of Davros! wee see the Molevans for the first time and the return to Skaro. The Doctor and Romana II have a instant chemestry, a must in your Baker era DVD's and the Daleks as well!
awsome Sep 10, 2008
what can I say, the more Doctor Who that is released the better the world is. great redone special effects and of course the original version.
