THE MASTER AT 50: OF MINDS AND MISSILE!


He may be as stuck on the Earth as his nemesis The Doctor, but the nefarious Master will stop at nothing to achieve power and destruction for his own aims against the planet, unleashing the dreaded Keller Machine with its disturbing power to destroy men's minds, and liberating some of the UK's most hardened criminal to hijack a deadly nerve gas missile from the very clutches of its UNIT guardians.

The Mind of Evil, the second story of Season Eight (which is now available in remastered Blu-ray as part of The Collection), and the second to feature Roger Delgado's original interpretation of the Master, is a worthy and superior follow-up to Terror of the Autons, gritty and full of incident, showcasing the villain in even greater antagonistic and sadistic glory against Jon Pertwee's incarnation. The art above is by Andrew Skilleter for the Target novel adaptation by Terrance Dicks, another of the author's excellent eighties works.


Out now on Blu-ray.
