Absolute masterpiece.

It was when Baker really clicked and story wise it all moved on from the early 70s paternal environmentalism.

The introduction of Davros was genius. It gave the show a whole new mythology that has stood the test of time. Often this show does that and it's a testament to its staying power. More shows should do this but unfortunately they try to be like the pointlessly thick modern scifi novels that labour every point but remain rigidly encased in their desire to be canonical.

The story hinged on the great philosophical monologue and what a monologue. Years later Capaldi delivered one or two that were outstanding but this was the time the Doctor grew up.
