Great news! It's The Master. He's back, again, for another adventure.
This week he's pretending to be a Professor. He knows how to live, The Master. He's got a whole plot going on, with a Time Monster, but he still has time to sit down next to his weirdly massive desk, and have a read and get drunk
Before long, Sergeant Benton turns up to ruin The Master's fun, by trying to kill him with guns.
Booo! Leave The Master alone, Sergeant Benton. He's not doing anything.
OK. He's summoning an evil Time Monster to destroy Earth or something. But his plans never work, do they? So might as well leave him be.
Doctor Who is very relaxed about The Master's plans nowadays. He knows they always go wrong. So he tries to beat his record for 'balancing things on a wine bottle'.
He's never done six, so he's very excited.
Everyone else seems fascinated, which is testament to how interesting the rest of the story is. Except Sergeant Benton. He's thinking, "I bet I could do eight or nine. I am amazing."
Things get momentarily exciting, as some olden time guys show up to have a battle. I think The Master made them do it.
This is a good bit of the story, and quite creative. Kapow!
I can't remember what's happening here, but what a delightful picture. They're obviously having a great time, possibly due to gin.
It's the last story of the season, so they may well have got demob happy and started drinking early.
After a bit, everyone goes to Atlantis. I can't remember why. The Master wants to be King of it,
I think. The Old Guy King is saying, "Yes - that should be fine. It will give me more time for jigsaws and such."
The Queen - who is on the right, doing a spy, would quite like The Master to be King as well. She thinks his beard is sexy.
Doctor Who and Jo get captured, yet again. Yes, despite Jo's brilliant disguise as a kind of ornamental curtain.
They're not very concerned. Any minute now The Master will run in, shouting, "Aaarg! My plan has turned to nonsense and now all the monsters want to kill me! Help!"
The Master has become King, and instantly started being Evil.
The Queen is super surprised. Why? He dresses like a villain and cackles all the time.
Ah, that's it. He was after a Time Crystal. And now he's got it, and everyone in Atlantis has died.
Also, he appears to be travelling in Doctor Who's TARDIS, with Jo, now.
Perhaps, at last, the show has become about him. That would be a great show. Every week he could go to another planet and try to conquer it with some mad aliens. People would watch that.
Eventually this happens.
Whatever 'this' is.
I think The Master has broken Time, by playing with the Time Crystal too vigorously.
And now Doctor Who is apologising to the Time Monster, and saying, "Sorry," and, "It was The Master," and "He's always doing this - he's a total jerk. Please kill him."
The Time Monster shows up, disguised as a 1980s pop video. It is her preferred form.
She basically says, "It's the end of the series, and everyone is tired. Let's just forget about all of this and go home."
It's not a very satisfying ending. But it is a pleasingly bonkers image. However stupid this show gets, you've got to love the crazy pictures they come up with.
