(Series 18,
Episodes 25-28)
Summary: In a contender for most boring opener
ever, the Doctor and Adric measure the TARDIS and get stuck in TARDIS stacking
dolls while air hostess Tegan struggles to change a tyre and gets watched by a
creepy white guy. The Master is back and
shrinking people and Nyssa just loves what the air on Logopolis has done for
her father’s complexion. The Master
unleashes entropy and then must join forces with the Doctor to prevent the end
of the universe. Interestingly, the only
planet with the computers to do this is Earth so they all return, only for the
Master reveals he’s rigged it so he can control everything. Sadly for him, he’s so busy trying out his
maniacal villainous laugh that the Doctor manages to pull the plug on his
ambitions but unfortunately ends up falling to his death from a satellite dish.
Watch it because: “It’s the end. But the moment has been prepared for.” Farewell, Tom Baker. 172 episodes is a
helluva run.
