20 Greatest Moments In Modern Doctor Who

When Davros was introduced in 1975, he became the de-facto spokesperson for the Daleks, which kind of reduced them.

It was also a confrontation that we'd never seen before, brimming over with violence and anger due to the recent scars left by the Time War. It completely changed how we looked at the relationship between the Doctor and the Daleks, and has continued to define them since.

It's exactly the sort of scene you cast Christopher Eccleston for, and by delivering this rage-fueled monologue at what he labels a "great space dustbin", he proves what a phenomenal Doctor he truly was.
