Davros was the forty-eighth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It marked the first appearance in an audio story by Davros, played by Terry Molloy opposite Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor.
Publisher's summary
TAI stock has shot up by over fifteen percent on news that galaxy-famous scientist Davros, controversial creator of the Daleks, has been hired to work on unspecified technological projects.
Davros has been given the chance to redeem himself.
Humanity stands on the verge of a new era, but it needs the help of the galaxy's greatest ever scientist. But Davros is dead... isn't he?
From the bunkers and shelters of ancient Skaro to the gleaming domes of the future Earth Empire, Davros has always been a man of destiny. Now he's working for mankind's benefit. But how much do we really know about Davros?
Has Davros really turned over a new leaf? The Doctor certainly doesn't think so. But is the Doctor always right?

References
Astronomical objects
- Skaro is in the same galaxy as Earth, Mutter's Spiral.
- Skaro has two moons: Falkus and Omega Mysterium. Davros tells Lorraine Baynes that he has never seen them, though presumably he means that he has never seen them from space. In his youth, they could be seen clearly from his stepfather Colonel Nasgard's house on Drammakin Lake. Elsewhere on Skaro, they were obscured by the high levels of radiation in the atmosphere. (AUDIO: Innocence)
- Willis reported on "that business on Stella Stora" and he "knows what [The Doctor] did there." (TV: Terror of the Vervoids)
Companies
- TransAllied Inc (TAI) is one the largest corporations in the galaxy. It is run by Arnold Baynes. It was founded by his ancestors in the 38th century. TAI sells robots, starships, terraformers, medical equipment, explosives, foodstuffs, protective clothing, weft engines, computer brains, recreational narcotics, laser cannons and more.
Daleks
- The Daleks have not been active since the end of the last Dalek War a century earlier. This could refer to the invasion and subsequent occupation of Mutter's Spiral by the Dalek Empire from the Seriphia Galaxy in the 42nd century, beginning in 4162.
Notes
- This story marks the first appearance of Davros in an audio drama.
- Wendy Padbury (Lorraine Baynes) previously played the Second Doctor's companion Zoe Heriot.
- Lorraine Baynes' name is most likely intended as a reference to the 1985 science fiction comedy film Back to the Future as {{w|Marty McFly]]'s mother's maiden name is Lorraine Baines.
- Chronologically, this is the earliest audio drama to feature the Sixth Doctor.
- David Bickerstaff would later reprise his role as Scientist Ral in AUDIO: Corruption and AUDIO: Guilt.
- This audio drama was recorded on 27 and 28 January 2003 at The Moat Studios.
- An illustrated preview by Martin Geraghty appeared in DWM 335.
Continuity
- Davros describes in detail how it felt when he was imprisoned in cryogenic suspension for ninety years. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks, TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
- The events surrounding the flashback sequences would later be revisited and explored in more detail in AUDIO: Corruption, in which Katarina Olsson reprises her role as Shan. Councillor Valron, who is mentioned in this story, appears in Corruption as played by Sean Carlsen.
- This is Davros' first of four known encounters with the Doctor during his sixth incarnation. The others occurred in Tranquil Repose on Necros (TV: Revelation of the Daleks), in Waterloo, Belgium in June 1815 (AUDIO: The Curse of Davros) and on Lethe (AUDIO: The Juggernauts).
- The Doctor has already visied Stella Stora, which is the reason why Willis has asked for his assistance. Since he reported on "that business." (TV: Terror of the Vervoids)
