A story I always loved. Was the end of Kamelion & Turlough, but the start of Peri. Also the Master reappears. I also always felt that Turlough's departure from the series was one pic.twitter.com/0wtaLlQOMJ

of the best, as it's telegraphed the entire story vs just cropping up in the last 2 mins. Of course this has Nicola Bryant's famous bikini scenes, which are always nice to look at. pic.twitter.com/lwvVwUY6Au

The Master is using Kamelion to release himself from an unknown issue at this point. The Doctor & Turlough are exploring the planet. Peri has to deal with the Kamelion Master, whom pic.twitter.com/YJxxWhNvyH

she is quite good at. This was shot on the island of Lanzarote which helps the look of the story, I think. The Master dominates the locals which he exploits against the Doctor. pic.twitter.com/fLkiA4Dsed

The Master struggles to control Kamelion and takes Peri with him. Turlough finds out he's related to one of the locals. The Doctor manages to escape and works against the Master. pic.twitter.com/5l11Me0830

The Doctor theorizes that the Master wants to be "reborn in the mountain". Turns out the Master shrunk himself with a TCE mistake & needs to restore himself. MiniMaster is amusing. pic.twitter.com/LAXpfMhzcv

This story ends well. Was the last ep for both Kamelion & Turlough. Was intended to be the end for the Master too, but that didn't last. Peri going after the MiniMaster w/a shoe was pic.twitter.com/B2ZxlugT1l

funny. Ended up just watching this vs thinking of what to write, I enjoyed it too much. I liked Turlough's exit more than most companions. Seemed to wrap up his overall arc well. pic.twitter.com/GKiw7mjSLd

I wonder if this is really Nicola Bryant much younger.
