The King’s Demons

This Story: Series 20, Story 6. Production Code 6J
Overall: Story 129, Episodes 606-607
Airdates: 15 Mar – 16 Mar 1983
Written by Terence Dudley
Directed by Tony Virgo

NOTE: Officially the BBC considers Part 1 of this to be “Episode 600”, but my inclusion of Shada in the count has me at 606 for Episode 1.

Something rare in classic Who - a two parter. This brings back the Master (who is hiding in plain sight again), & introduces what was supposed to be a new companion, Kamelion. pic.twitter.com/K8rtY1V91s

Set in the past, the idea w/the Master is he was using Kamelion to help stop the King from signing Magna Carta. A small time plan for him - that's even mentioned in the story! pic.twitter.com/so8sVE1rR8

Kamelion is found out to be a shape shifting robot whose appearance can easily be controlled by someone else (The Master / Doctor). That was intended to be a plot point going pic.twitter.com/cNPsz8MpLb

forward, but the real life death of the robot's creator pretty much nixed that. They could easily do this in the new show with SFX. Was probably the weakest Master story ever. pic.twitter.com/yN08a9zZMV
