“Exterminate!” – Terry Molloy as Dr Who’s Davros

A superb signed photograph from Terry Molloy, the definitive 1980s portrayer of Davros, creator of the Daleks. Molloy’s performance remains one of the most memorable villainous turns in Doctor Who, and his autograph continues to be highly sought after by collectors of classic-era television memorabilia.

This example features Davros in full prosthetics — the scarred scalp, cranial wiring, and cold, calculating stare that defined the character. Molloy adds a perfectly pitched inscription, “To Ian / Exterminate!”, a fan‑favourite flourish that captures both the menace and the theatricality of his portrayal.

For collectors, Molloy’s signature carries real weight. Few actors have embodied a Doctor Who villain across so many stories and formats, giving Davros a continuity of voice that shaped the mythology of the Daleks for decades. Signed stills of this quality remain excellent centrepieces for Whovian collections and consistently perform well on the secondary market.
