Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Sound of Drums/The Last of the Time Lords
Doctor Who:
The Sound of
Drums/The Last of the Time Lords
By Russell T.
Davies
“HERE! COME!
THE! DRUMS!”
Another
classic confrontation between The Doctor and The Master their first in the new
series and its not like the ones we have been accustomed to before. It is sort of like the type of confrontations
that the Third Doctor and Master used to have during the Seventies. This time The Master is Prime Minister of
England and has all the powers available to him to make The Doctor and Martha
and her family fugitives of the state.
The Harold Saxon umbrella story comes to a head in the finale as all the
clues where in place since The Runaway Bride and if you did not figure them out
well then too bad it was subtle but pretty obvious.
It was pretty
obvious how the story would start and the resolution of Utopia’s cliffhanger as
The Doctor fixed Jack’s Vortex Manipulator and get them back to present
day. It’s good to have a former Time
Agent as a friend. Which lead up to a pretty
good reveal that The Master was in present day all along as The Master duped
The Doctor and everyone in the UK. Just
seeing the look of horror and surprise on the hero’s faces was priceless and
then the realization that they soon are now wanted fugitives was a pretty good
twist.
