A four-part mini-series that reveals the previously untold story of how a gifted youth became the evil creator of the Daleks.

This terrific audio play tells the early life of Davros, up to the point where he becomes the creator of the Daleks. Well written and wonderfully acted, these are excellent audio plays. Starring Terry Molloy as Davros and Peter Miles as Nyder.

Terry Molloy is fantastic as Davros, playing the character perfectly as he grows older and more determined to ensure the survival of his people. Young Davros is played by Rory Jennings (who played Tommy in The Idiot’s Lantern, in the new series of Doctor Who). The stories are very well written and add a new perspective to the character and to Dalek history.

I, Davro 1: Innocence

The Kaled and Thal races are at war. No one really remembers why, or when it started, but generations of people on both sides have lost so very much. Born into an influential family is Davros. Now aged sixteen, he is being pulled in various directions his father wants him to follow tradition and go into the military. His sister has joined the Military Youth and his scheming, devoted mother wants him to pursue a life of science. But no one seems terribly interested in what Davros himself wants. So he must begin to assert himself, begin to take control over his own life, begin to work towards his destiny.

I, Davros 2: Purity

Now approaching his 30th year, Davros is trying to get out of the Kaled Military and into the Scientific Corps, determined to use his mind to create new ways to let the Kaled race survive the never-ending war with the Thals. But first, he must undertake a mission into Thal territory. A mission that will introduce him to technology and hardware he could only dream of. And it just might teach him a few life lessons to. But however dangerous the Thal City might be, that is nothing compared to the scarred relics that inhabit the Wastelands…Wastelands he and his team have to cross twice.

I Davros 3: Corruption

Now established within the Science Elite, Davros and his team are pushing the boundaries of Kaled experimentation further and further forward. Access to Thal DNA spearheads an entirely new field of research for Davros, and as he becomes more and more intrigued by genetic mutations, others around him begin to fear him, his drive and his obsessive need for power. Meanwhile he must learn to cope with betrayal and political manoeuvrings that will leave him changed forever..

I, Davros 4: Guilt

The Kaled city is now ravaged, and life has become one of fear, protected by a vast transparent dome that covers what remains of the City. The Thals undertake a desperate mission to take Davros away from his laboratories, and the Supremo must send a crack squad over enemy lines to retrieve his chief scientist. Led by the young, enthusiastic and morally-bankrupt Lieutenant Nyder, Davros is successfully rescued. But he has been changed by the experience, and where once he stood for knowledge, he now espouses the utter extermination of the Thal people. To this end, Davros will stop at nothing and will sacrifice anybody to see his legacy continue.
