This version of Genesis is slightly different than it was on TV, with narration and edits.

Genesis of the Daleks sees the Doctor sent on a mission to Skaro, where the crippled scientist Davros is engaged in the creation of protective cassings for the ravaged Kaled race. The Time Lords intercept the transmat beam taking the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to Nerva and deposit them instead on the planet Skaro at an early point in its history. There a Time Lord gives the Doctor both a mission to prevent or alter the Daleks’ development so that they become less of a threat to the universe and a time ring that will enable him and his companions to return to the TARDIS once this is done. Skaro is currently in the grip of a long war of attrition between its two humanoid powers, the Kaleds and the Thals. The Kaleds’ chief scientist, Davros, has been experimenting to discover the final form into which his race will mutate – the weapons used in the war have already produced genetically scarred ‘mutos’, who have been consigned to the wastelands – and has devised a protective casing in which they can continue to survive. This is instantly recognised by the Doctor and Sarah as a Dalek.

Exploration Earth sees the Tardis travel 4500 years into the earth’s past, and the Doctor and Sarah witness the beginning of the planet.
