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

Illustrated preview from DWM 335 by Martin Geraghty.

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?

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.
