The Doctor and Peri reach on Necros, the ‘planet of the dead’, where there is a whole complex filled with people in suspended animation whilst the Big Healer works on cures for whatever diseases they are suffering from.
But before long the ‘Great Healer’ is revealed to be none other than Davros, deplorable genetic engineer and creator of the Daleks. Having been abandoned by the unusual Daleks, he is engineering replacements.
This is not only the best Colin Baker fable, but also one of the finest Dalek adventures ever made. There is a very grown-up feel about it with pleasurable suspence, sexual undercurrents and dread which is suggestive rather than tasteless. The whole thing is filled with strong characters such as bounty hunters (a space-age knight and his squire), a superbly cold-hearted female villain and a futuristically-weird DJ. Davros and the Daleks (with impressive unique white casings) are at their dramatic best and the music and scenery are trustworthy. Survey for one partically memorable scene entertaining a glass Dalek.

Highly recommended. Even if you detest Colin Baker (though personally I mediate he was an under-rated Doctor who should have been given more time in the series), this adventure is quiet unmissable.
The final narrative of the 22nd season of Doctor Who has the Time Lord dealing with his worst enemies, those Dalek pepperpots, only this time they have a really nice ivory and gold colour device.
The Doctor and Peri are paying their respects to Arthur Stengos, one of the galaxy’s finest agronomists. His body is lying in the Level-headed Repose on the planet Nekros (perfect area for a funeral planet!) . TR is a cryogenics repository where people with incurable diseases are suspended and later restored to life when a cure for their condition has been found. At the same time, TR’s vain and arrogant supervisor, Jobel is ready to form funerary history, as he has objective finished the president’s wife and is ready, with his staff to receive the president. Jobel is played by Clive Swift, best known as Richard, Hyacinth’s husband in Keeping Up Appearances. He has a immense line at the Doctor’s expense. After being insulted by the Doctor, who has survived a phony statue falling on him, Jobel retorts, “If the statue had been made of stone I doubt if would’ve killed you. … It would rob a mountain to crush an ego like yours.”
Then there’s Grigori and Natasha, the latter Stengos’s daughter, who crash into the catacombs, where the vaults are. She suspects her father’s body has been stolen, and indeed it has. But where’s the head? She and her partner get it, and it’s being set aside to grotesque exhaust.

However, that’s not all the work going on at Unruffled Repose. The turbaned Kara (Eleanor Bron) is in charge of a factory manufacturing a high protein concentrate ready to sell to developing planets at such a obscene note, their accountants are embarrassed. Whatever profit she gains is being squeezed by the Broad Healer, an alias obsolete by Davros, creator of the Daleks and now master of a novel breed of Daleks subservient to him rather than the Supreme Dalek. However, not to worry-she has hired Orcini, a professional assassin and excommunicated member of the Gargantuan Order of the Knights of Oberon to acquire rid of Davros, and he is dedicated. He has an artificial leg with a imperfect hydraulic valve, and rather than getting it replaced, he prefers the effort as a reminder of his mortality and to support his mind alert. He’s also conscientious, as he gives any fees he gets to charity. Assassinating Davros is an honourary job he is willing to undertake.
Davros himself is aware of the Doctor’s presence, but he has eyes and ears around TR. He rants against Jobel, who refused his offer of immortality, and uses Tasambeker, played by Jenny Tomasin (Ruby from Upstairs Downstairs) a fawning and not too respectable looking female employee infatuated with him, as a steady servant, and later, orders her to extinguish Jobel, who conspires with employees Takis and Lilt against him. And he thinks the DJ, a prattling disc jockey, played funnily by Alexi Sayle, who pipes in announcements and 50’s/60’s music to the bodies in place, knows too considerable.
There is all sorts of violence here. A leg is blown off one person, a hand off another, but Script Editor Eric Saward defended the violence as being realistic instead of the phony violence one sees in US action movies. If you shoot someone’s hand at discontinuance range, it gets blown off, stupid and simple.
Saward had read Evelyn’s Waugh’s The Loved One, which takes space in a funeral parlour, where Aimee Thanatogenos, a crematorium cosmetician becomes infatuated with artiste embalmer Mr. Joyboy. Here, Joyboy becomes Jobel, and Thanatogenos becomes Tasambeker. Indeed, a line from Jobel on the president’s wife also mentions the title: “she’s a loved one who’s passed on to pastures finer and lusher than those she knew in life.”
There are actually places like Detached Repose on Earth, but would they be economically feasible? With overpopulation, future generations have no incentive to cure the sick from generations encourage, as they would be technologically and culturally out-of-date. What could they do if cured?
A worthwhile tale, given that most of the legend dealt with the non-Dalek shenanigans going on in TR, but afterwards, it was obvious that Doctor Who was living on borrowed time.
