I, Davros is a series of spin-off audio plays from Big Finish exploring the early life of Dalek creator Davros with Terry Molloy reprising the character for the series.
The first chapter Innocence was released in September 2006. I listened to it via the Davros Collection DVD set.
A very disturbing but very good tale of Davros in his youth with a very excellent performance from The Idiot's Lantern's Rory Jennings (he was Tommy in that televised Doctor Who episode) (Molloy only appears as the adult Davros in the beginning).
Given the disturbing character that is Davros' mother Calcula it is no wonder that Davros became the person that he had become.
Also a good performance of Richard Franklin as Davros' father Colonel Nasgard (a promotion for Franklin since he was Captain Yates in the classic Doctor Who TV series).
Writer Gary Hopkins provides a very strong tale to kick start this series. It is no wonder that this instalment came in at second place (behind the third chapter of the series Corruption) in the "Other Big Finish Audio Dramas" category for 2006 as voted by DWM readers.
