Genesis of the daleks DVD - where did it go?
ok, so i nearly purchased this in HMV the other weeks, and now really wish i did because i can't find it ANYWHERE!
surely they wouldnt have withdrawn it from sale, but i cant even find a pre order online, and it isnt listed on the BBC DW website |

Well then it couldn't have been a DVD, as it's never been released in that format, either in the UK or abroad. It might have been a VHS tape still knocking about after many many years on the shelves, perhaps?

I have no urge to see Genesis on DVD in any hurry. Surely most fans have a dozen different versions of it already?! Give something else a chance to shine on DVD! Dragonfire!

P For the record the only Dalek stories that have been released on DVD are Dalek Invasion Of Earth (Hartnell) Ressurection Of The Daleks (Davison) Rememberance Of The Daleks (McCoy) and the Five Doctors (though this is a cameo appearance). Revelation of The Daleks (C Baker) is due next month and The Daleks (1st story with Hartnell) is allegedly released in january next as part of The Beginnings box set. That leaves The Chase (Hartnell) though there may be copyright problems as it features a video of the Beatles playing Ticket To Ride) Day Of The Daleks a cameo appearance in Frontier in Space Planet Of The Daleks Death To The Daleks (All Pertwee) Genesis Of The Daleks Destiny Of The Daleks (both Tom Baker) left in the BBC Archives to be released in the future. Neither of the Troughton stories (Power and Evil) and the Hartnell 12 part story, The Daleks Masterplan, exist in their complete form. The surving episode of Evil Of The Daleks and the surviving three episodes of Masterplan were released last year on the Lost In Time DVD box set. |

BTW thanks for that resume Urban, very informative. I'm eagerly awaiting many of those DVD releases. |

I suspect the forthcoming Dalek release was tied up in the contract negotiations over Daleks appearing in the recent series - timing of its sudden appearance on the release schedule seemed to coincide with the agreement reached...or am I just being conspiratorial?

I have the LP version of Genesis of the Daleks. I think I bought it in woolies over 20 years ago.
Anyone else think that Terrance Dicks was the best noveliser - I have all his Doctor Who books. They rock! |
