Doctor Who’s First Davros Redesign Confirmed As Showrunner Reveals Reason For Change To Classic Villain

Major Doctor Who villain Davros’ modern redesign is confirmed, as showrunner Russell T Davies addresses why the creator of the Daleks has received a design update for the next era of the show. The villain made his debut in the 1975 Fourth Doctor adventure “Genesis of the Daleks” portrayed by Michael Wisher, where he is established as the Kaled scientist behind the creatures that would ultimately become the Doctor’s greatest foes. Davros would be a reoccurring foe across the classic era as David Gooderson and Terry Malloy would take on the role, while Julian Bleach has portrayed the character through the show’s revival seasons.
