(Series 8,
Episodes 5-11)
Summary: Doctor Who meets Porridge, with a body count higher than the villages of
Midsomer. The Master cultivates his
maniacal laugh, the Doctor battles a machine that feeds on evil and Jo’s main
function is to Be Compassionate. Poor
old Sergeant Benton feels the sting of the Brigadier’s ever-so-slightly
misogynistic sarcasm, whilst UNIT play fast and loose with
missile security. And the award for Most
Enthusiastic Bit Part goes to Patrick Godfrey as Major Cosworth.
Watch it because: The Master’s worst fear is revealed…
