After 48 Years, Doctor Who Has Completely Redesigned The Daleks’ Creator – But Why?

After 48 years, Doctor Who has redesigned the Daleks’ creator, Davros, and with good reason. Davros (Julian Bleach) returned to Doctor Who as part of the BBC’s annual charity telethon Children in Need in an irreverent sketch in which the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) played a minor role in the genesis of the Daleks. Crash landing the TARDIS in Davros’ workshop, the Doctor accidentally gives some pointers to Kaled scientist and apparent marketing guru, Mr. Castavillian (Mawaan Rizwan) on Dalek design and branding. He also replaces the unwieldy looking prototype claw arm with the more familiar plunger, much to Davros’ apparent delight.
