Doctor Who - Terror of the Autons Review

With Missy/ The Master returning we thought it would be good to take a look back at a few of the classic series stories that feature The Master.

“You are incorrigibly meddlesome, Doctor, but we've always felt that your hearts are in the right places. But be careful. The Master has learnt a great deal since you last met him.”

There is a new threat for The Doctor.  The renegade Time Lord The Master has made his way to Earth to cause havoc and to take it over.  This time his allies are the Nestene and their plastic servants the Autons. In exchange for the power he craves The Master helps to hatch the Nestenes plan to take over Earth.  The Master has taken up residency in the plastics factory owned by the Farrel family.   The Doctor is warned about the Master coming to Earth by a pompous Time Lord who says The Master is not the same push over as before. 

The Doctor also has a new assistant in Jo Grant who does not have the best of first days as she ruins the Doctor’s dematerialization circuit with a fire extinguisher and gets caught by The Master and hypnotized into killing The Doctor.  All this and killer daffodils that the Autons are handing out the public to help in the invasion plans as The Master sets things in motion for the Nestenes arrival.
