Doctor Who - Big Finish September Mega-Review
Doctor Who 177 "Daleks Among Us"
rating: 4
AZIMUTH DEPARTMENT OF RE-EDUCATION REMINDER: TO ALL CITIZENS There are no Daleks on Azimuth. There have never been Daleks on Azimuth. Twenty years ago, the Daleks did not invade Azimuth. There was no war. There were no death camps. A man named 'the Doctor' did not help liberate Azimuth. There are no such things as Daleks. They do not exist. There are no Daleks among us. UPDATE: TO ALL CITIZENS A strange blue box has not appeared in Monument Plaza. Off-worlders named 'the Doctor', 'Elizabeth Klein' and 'Will Arrowsmith' are not at large in the city. For your own safety, should you not see any of the above, report at once to the Department of Re-education, Azimuth Central. NEVER REMEMBEROddly, aside from their brief encounter in "Remembrance of the Daleks", the Seventh Doctor and Davros never met each other. They may have in the novels, or the comics; I haven't read them all, so I don't know. I knew they never met before or after in the TV series, but I had just assumed, given how often Davros has appeared in Big Finish stories, that he'd at least shown up in those. I was wrong. So here we get that long-delayed reunion between the two characters. It's a great chance for McCoy and Malloy to prove their acting chops by squaring off against each other and doing it so very well. I was also, of course, very pleased with the performance by Tracy Childs as Klein. And speaking of Klein, I think we finally have a resolution to her storyline. I'm still slightly confused as to what exactly was happening at the end, but at least we now know who she is, and she does, too. Hopefully she'll be able to continue on as a better person. Her next appearance hasn't been announced yet, but I look forward to it when it happens.
