6Z. Reveleation Of The Daleks
Season Twenty Two - 1985
Synopsis
The Doctor visits the Tranquil Repose on Necros, suspicious at the death of a friend. The Tranquil Repose was set up so that dying millionaires could have their body kept in suspended animation until such time as a medical cure could be found.
But there is more going on than it seems. The worst cases are turned by Davros, who is posing as the Great Healer, into a new breed of Daleks. Others are turned into protein by a factory, also set-up by Davros but run by Kara, to be sold on neighbouring planets.
Kara hires a bounty hunter, Orcini, to kill Davros. He fails, and instead turns on Kara when she betrays him. One of the embalmers calls for the real Daleks; they arrive and take Davros away for trial on Skaro.
With the factory left in ruins the Doctor shows the locals how to extract proteins from the native plant life.

Bloopers
Part 2: In the first scene someone can be seen in the background.

Part 2: When those two chaps show a Dalek their security passes, you can see the head of the Dalek operator through the "neck grille".
