Notes

• This is the 2023 Children in Need short.  It was called “Destination Skaro” by RTD on an Instagram post.
• The entire segment was released on Youtube right after it aired on the BBC, and can still be viewed on Youtube.  The video has been embedded below.
• It was produced in-between the episodes “Boom” and “The Devil’s Chord” as part of Series 14 (1).

Given I wrote more than can be viewed in an embedded tweet, here is the full length of the text:

Fun short segment for the BBC Children in Need programme. First on screen appearance of David Tennant’s 14th Doctor. Set on Skaro during the development of the Daleks, this features a pre accident Davros (played by Julian Bleach). It’s mostly a comedy bit, but does set up a few things – that the Doctor came up with the name Dalek and was responsible for the toilet plunger, which Davros oddly likes here. Cute bit, worth a watch for a chuckle.

Fun fan art for this I spotted on Twitter:
