'''''Destination: Skaro''''' was a televised [[mini-episode|minisode]] broadcast on [[17 November (releases)|17 November]] [[2023 (releases)|2023]] on [[BBC One]] and written by [[Russell T Davies]]<ref name="mediacentre">[https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/doctor-who-tardis-lands-during-bbc-children-in-need ''Doctor Who: The TARDIS lands during BBC Children In Need'' on bbc.co.uk]</ref> as part of the [[List of anniversaries|60th anniversary]] celebrations and [[Children in Need]].

Much like the 2005 ''Children in Need'' special {{cs|Born Again (TV story)}} had done with the [[Tenth Doctor]], ''Destination: Skaro'' marked the first full appearance of the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] on-screen, following his debut in {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}. In the interim, he saw multiple appearances in other media, including the comic story {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}, which lead directly into ''Destination: Skaro'' by bringing the Doctor to [[Skaro]] during its epilogue.
 
While mainly comedic in tone, ''Destination: Skaro'' was notable for bringing the Doctor back to the [[genesis of the Daleks]], where he ended up unintentionally becoming part of a [[Bootstrap paradox]] by inspiring key elements of their development, such as accidentally giving away the name "Dalek" for the [[Mark III Travel Machine]], as well as their battle cry, "[[Exterminate]]", and inspiring the [[suction arm]] by replacing the [[multi-dextrous claw]] with a [[plunger]] after having accidentally destroyed it. However, dialogue in the minisode indicates that it is not meant to wholly fit in with the version of history seen in {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}, with the Doctor realising that his interference coincides with "the timelines and canon rupturing". ''Destination: Skaro'' also marked the first time an adult [[Davros]] was shown before his disfigurement in a visual medium, and the second time he had been seen on-screen without the need for his [[Davros's chair|life support chair]], coming after his appearance as a child in {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}} and {{cs|The Witch's Familiar (TV story)}}.


It featured the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] arriving on [[Skaro]], which was hinted at in the final instalment of the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strip {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}.
This story would be novelised in the form of ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2025]]'' short story {{cs|Destination: Skaro (short story)}}.

In this special ''[[Children in Need]]'' episode, [[Fourteenth Doctor|the Doctor]] hurtles through [[space]] and [[time]] to a crucial point in the [[Dalek]]s' history.


== Plot ==
== Plot ==
Davros and his assistant are building the first iteration of the Mark Three Travel Machine. The assistant tries coming up with a new name for this machine, using different anagrams of Kaled. Davros leaves.
[[Davros]] and his assistant, [[Castavillian]], are building [[Dalek Prime|the first iteration]] of a mutant-housing [[Mark III Travel Machine]]. Castavillian tries coming up with a new name for the Machine, using different anagrams of [[Kaled]], though none of which Davros approves of. Hearing a request from [[Nyder]] over an [[intercom]], Davros leaves, telling Castavillian not to touch anything. As Castavillian laments his inability to come up with a good anagram, he hears an inexplicable wheezing and groaning.


Suddenly, the TARDIS crashes into the room. The Fourteenth Doctor opens the door and says "Hello". He spots the machine and calls it a Dalek, which the assistant approves of. He then realises he accidentally smashes off a part of the Dalek. Hurriedly, he rushes to the TARDIS and retrieves a plunger, which he sticks onto the machine. Then he runs back into the TARDIS and tells the assistant he was "Never here". The TARDIS dematerialises.
Suddenly, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] crashes into the room, smashing into a wall. The [[Fourteenth Doctor]] opens the door and, after greeting the bewildered Castavillian, starts rambling about [[regenerating]] from a "really [[Thirteenth Doctor|brilliant woman]]" into an [[Tenth Doctor|old face]], until he realises his violent landing has accidentally smashed the [[multi-dextrous claw]] off the Machine, and apologises. Then he sees the Machine, and realises that it's a [[Dalek]], which Castavillian picks up on approvingly. As the Doctor notes that he was lucky that he wasn't "[[Extermination|exterminated]]", he realises that he has accidentally travelled to the "[[genesis of the Daleks]]", with Castavillian noting down everything he says. Hurriedly, he legs it back to the TARDIS, retrieves a plunger, and throws it to Castavillian. The Doctor runs back into the TARDIS and tells Castavillian he "was never [t]here" as the TARDIS dematerialises.


Davros re-enters and sees the plunger stuck onto the Dalek. He approves, "I like it."
Panicking, Castavillian sticks the plunger on to the Dalek in place of the claw. Davros re-enters and sees the plunger stuck on to the Dalek. Castavillian looks at him nervously, yet Davros, after a pause, only says, "''I like it.''"

Destination: Skaro[1] — also simply titled Doctor Who Children in Need Special 2023[2] — was a televised minisode broadcast on 17 November 2023 on BBC One for Children in Need, written by Russell T Davies[3] in celebration of the 60th anniversary.

Much like the 2005 Children in Need special Born Again [+]Loading...["Born Again (TV story)"] had done with the Tenth Doctor, Destination: Skaro marked the first full appearance of the Fourteenth Doctor on-screen, following his debut in The Power of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Power of the Doctor (TV story)"]. In the interim, he saw multiple appearances in other media, including the comic story Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"], which lead directly into Destination: Skaro by bringing the Doctor to Skaro during its epilogue.

While mainly comedic in tone, Destination: Skaro was notable for bringing the Doctor back to the genesis of the Daleks, where he ended up unintentionally becoming part of a Bootstrap paradox by inspiring key elements of their development, such as accidentally giving away the name "Dalek" for the Mark III Travel Machine, as well as their battle cry, "Exterminate", and inspiring the suction arm by replacing the multi-dextrous claw with a plunger after having accidentally destroyed it.

This story would be novelised in the form of Doctor Who The Official Annual 2025 short story Destination: Skaro [+]Loading...["Destination: Skaro (short story)"].

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

In this special Children in Need episode, the Doctor hurtles through space and time to a crucial point in the Daleks' history.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davros and his assistant, Castavillian, are building the first iteration of a mutant-housing Mark III Travel Machine. Castavillian tries coming up with a new name for the Machine, using different anagrams of Kaled, though none of which Davros approves of. Hearing a request from Nyder over an intercom, Davros leaves, telling Castavillian not to touch anything. As Castavillian laments his inability to come up with a good anagram, he hears an inexplicable wheezing and groaning.

Suddenly, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes into the room, smashing into a wall. The Fourteenth Doctor opens the door and, after greeting the bewildered Castavillian, starts rambling about regenerating from a "really brilliant woman" into an old face, until he realises his violent landing has accidentally smashed the multi-dextrous claw off the Machine, and apologises. Then he sees the Machine, and realises that it's a Dalek, which Castavillian picks up on approvingly. As the Doctor notes that he was lucky that he wasn't "exterminated", he realises that he has accidentally travelled to the "genesis of the Daleks", with Castavillian noting down everything he says. Hurriedly, he legs it back to the TARDIS, retrieves a plunger, and throws it to Castavillian. The Doctor runs back into the TARDIS and tells Castavillian he "was never [t]here" as the TARDIS dematerialises.

Panicking, Castavillian sticks the plunger on to the Dalek in place of the claw. Davros re-enters and sees the plunger stuck on to the Dalek. Castavillian looks at him nervously, yet Davros, after a pause, only says, "I like it."

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
