Destiny! Destiny! No escaping that for me!' I thought for years that that line came from Destiny of the Daleks, and that Young Frankenstein had ripped it off. Partially because many other people I knew thought the same thing. Odd, that. The Daleks rescue Davros to deal with the Movellans. Resurrection deals with the aftermath, as the Daleks rescue Davros again, this time to deal with the virus of the Movellans. Revelation has the 6th Doctor learning about Davros' vilest plot yet. Remembrance sees two Dalek factions about to start a war in 1963 London over special Time Lord technology. It's all Daleks, all the time, for FOXTEL's Who-Files this week.
