178 1 Feb 2000 Tue 18:00 BBC2 Genesis of the Daleks 1 ... the original plan had been to continue screening the Jon Pertwee stories (and full restoration work on all episodes - including new NTSC to PAL conversions - was well underway), but the ratings for Spearhead from Space and Doctor Who and the Silurians were so poor, the BBC instead jumped ahead to Tom Baker's first Dalek story. The ratings were even worse, so the BBC dropped any further repeats
