Pizza, Beer and the Genesis of the Daleks

Posted by on in TV

On Mr Baker’s birthday I thought it would be ideal to watch what is arguably one of the best Doctor Who stories ever. The six part ‘Genesis of the Daleks’, and what better way to watch it than with a pizza and a beer.

These days you just wouldn’t get a story split into 6 parts, but back in 1975 it was perfectly normal. Genesis of the Daleks was a complex story with a lot of characters who come and go throughout the whole six parts. It’s a great story too.

So why didn’t he destroy the Daleks? Well I guess we’re all glad he didn’t right?

G1 is go!

Well I’ve finally got my G1 up and running again. It’s taken a while to get this far, and it’s really just the beginning as it’s currently running Android 1.5 and I’d like to see how far I can take it. Hopefully up to 2.1, but we’ll see.

I have to say that T-Mobile were really helpful getting things working for me. They were brilliant. My plan is to get it working as a remote security scanner. We’ll see if I can make it work effectively.

Happy Birthday Tom Baker, 78 today!

My favourite Doctor Who by far. Happy Birthday! I’m so glad that you’re back doing Big Finish stories. I still haven’t listened to the first one, but I’m so looking forward to it.
