The third Doctor and the Master come face to face in Trevor Baxendale’s Terror of the Master, which goes on general release today.
This three-hour narrated adventure (featuring specially composed music and sound effects) was initially released in January 2021 as part of The Worlds of Doctor Who: Masterful limited edition box set, marking 50 years of the villainous Time Lord (a role originated on screen by Roger Delgado).
Jon Culshaw brings Trevor Baxendale’s story to vivid life, as the Doctor finds himself companion-less between the classic Doctor Who TV stories, The Green Death (1973) and The Time Warrior (1974).
Dr Derek Drake is a National Treasure – he’s going to solve the energy crisis and stop all pollution. Governments and businesses around the world are signing up to his environmentally friendly campaign. So why is the Doctor convinced this great humanitarian and darling of the media is really the Master in disguise?
What could his greatest enemy hope to gain by improving the lives of everyone on the planet? The Doctor must convince his UNIT friends that they now face the ultimate terror – and that the Master may be in as much danger as they are…
Narrator Jon Culshaw said: “This is a simply brilliant script! It’s such an exciting story that so magnificently captures the essence of the Third Doctor era – and what an era this is! It’s fascinating to look into this unseen window. It was thrilling and an honour to take on the wonderful character, as close as I can, of the Roger Delgado Master.”
The Worlds of Doctor Who: Terror of the Master is now, for the first time, available to own separately as a digital download for just £9.99, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.
