It will be interesting to see how many hits I get on this blog entry with this picture! I think it will reveal quite a lot about how perverted some people are! This is the new companion, Peri, a young American girl that Turlough rescues from the sea and brings inside the TARDIS. This is during the first part of the story where we yet again get some filming outside of the UK, this time in Lanzarote. The Lanzarote locations would then double for the "Planet Of Fire", otherwise known as "Sarn" visited in the later part of the story.....you're still looking at the tits aren't you?? I could literally say anything here and it wouldn't matter. Oh well, I'll make this entry a short one anyway as I'm still trying to catch up!
The Master is back, this time in a different costume. Here he is wearing a simple black suit and it's strange just how much more frightening he seems when not in his usual pantomime type costume. It turns out this is not the real Master however but just the robot Kamelion (remember him from The King's Demons? He was the companion who came on board the TARDIS only to disappear and then reappear in this story! I assume he could have been wondering the corridors of the TARDIS all this time). The Master has taken over Kamelion in order to use him to free his real self which, in an hilarious cliffhanger, is revealed to have been shrunken to just a few inches high meaning that he can't reach any of the controls of his TARDIS. Well if you would experiment with your Tissue Compression Eliminator then you should expect some negative side effects!
This is the final story for two companions. One being Kamelion, whom the Doctor is forced to kill! Why do we never remember Kamelion when thinking about the few companions who have died whilst travelling with the Doctor? Oh yeah, I know why! Because no one give a shit about the crappy robot! That's why!
The other companion to depart is Turlough. Turlough has been a bit of a mystery since he joined the series. We knew he was an alien hiding away on Earth but we never really knew why. Here we finally find out that he was exiled to Earth as punishment and his father and brother were sent to
Sarn. The ship crash landed and his father was killed but his baby brother was rescued and here he is reunited with his bother. Turlough therefore decides to stay behind.
I enjoyed this story way more than I thought I would! I've seen it a couple of times before and never really thought much of it but for some reason watching the stories in order is giving me a whole new perspective on some of them!
