The Mind of Evil

(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…
