Hurray! The Master is back. We last saw him being arrested, for being a massive intergalactic nuisance, and put in prison.
He's loads more fun than Doctor Who. When Doctor Who gets locked up, he just tells sad stories and complains to the guards. The Master, on the other hand, sneaks out and steals hats, and pretends to be an Admiral, and makes contact with Sea Monsters.
Oh yeah. The story is about Sea Monsters.
Doctor Who comes to see The Master in prison, and quickly tries to kill him with a sword.
Why do they even have swords in this prison?
Doctor Who wins at swords, but gets distracted by some sandwiches and forgets to murder The Master.
If only more villains had snacks to hand, they'd get away with whatever they wanted. He loves a sandwich, Doctor Who.
Jo, meanwhile, is being chased by guys in capes, on jeeps. I forget why. I think maybe The Master told them she was doing spying.
I like the composition of this shot, though the monster on the right is unconvincing.
Suddenly - pow! Sea Monsters! It turns out that The Master has been sending them emails going "Come up to the surface - it's great and you could kill all the humans!"
This one is very excited by the prospect, and has made all haste. Although, that doesn't look like an expression of joy, to me. I think he's surfaced in the wrong place.
Meanwhile, this Sea Monster has got inside a submarine. Though he now appears to very much wish he hadn't, because there's a Man With A Gun. "Oh no!" he is clearly thinking.
His options are:
a) Back away slowly through the hatch and hope no-one has noticed him, then go home and forget all about submarines, and just be content with his lot.
b) Attempt to convince the Man With A Gun that this is a Sea Monster submarine, and it is the Man With A Gun who is in the wrong place. If the Man With A Gun is English, this might work. He will apologise to the Sea Monster and go off scratching his head.
c) Stay still like this, forever, until the Man With A Gun gets bored or goes for a wee.
d) Hope the Man With A Gun is an idiot, and just come in anyway, and then kill everyone while Man With A Gun just watches, as if he was a Man Without A Gun.
If memory serves, he goes for 'd'.
Doctor Who refuses to believe Jo when she says there is an exciting chase going on outside with jeeps and men in capes and everything. So she takes him outside to look.
By the time he gets there, things have escalated, and now there are more men with jeeps, and capes, and even one guy on a horse!
Jo is clearly saying, "I told you so," and Doctor Who is clearly thinking, "Why are there horses now? What's even happening in this story?"
The Sea Monsters charge all over the place, shooting at the humans with their guns. It is very exciting.
They look great, too. I don't know why they need guns. If you saw a couple of these guys coming after you, you'd just wee yourself into a state of fatal dehydration.
The Master is enjoying himself a lot in this story. Here we see him shouting, "Go! Kill everyone! Do it with guns! Zap! Kapow!"
I'm not sure the Sea Monsters understand him, though. The one on the left is just staring at The Master's pointing finger.
The one on the right has become distracted by a bird. "Sky fish!" he's thinking.
Eventually Doctor Who goes to the King Sea Monster and tells him to stop it. This is usually Doctor Who's best plan - just telling everyone to go away and have a think about what they've done. It works nine times out of ten. And when it doesn't work, he just has them all killed.
The Sea Monster looks kind of shifty though, don't you think? Like he's borrowed money from Doctor Who in the past, and he's hoping he's forgotten about it, and he's just hoping to get through the conversation before Doctor Who remembers and asks him for it back.
Anyway. In the end, the Sea Monsters do stop, but then I think they get blown up anyway. Doctor Who looks a bit sad about it, but I don't think they ever really bonded, so it's not that big a deal and he soon recovers.
