From his luxurious throne in the palace of Jaconda, which he and his race of Gastropods have taken from the planet's peaceful inhabitants, the gross Mestor issues his murderous telepathic orders, in Colin Baker's opening story, The Twin Dilemma.
Though giving a fine, villainous performance, it's hard to believe that the respected character actor Edwin Richfield, who prior appeared in The Sea Devils as the heroic Captain Hart, is under all that heavy rubber! The character of Mestor was clearly influenced by the equally repellent Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, which was playing to packed UK cinemas only the year before.
