The Mind of Evil - Episode 6

A very satisfying concluding episode. Poor Barnham, though. He was such a nice man, after he was processed. Shame to see him get killed by the Master. The Master smokes cigars in this story, which strikes someone watching today as rather odd. Pertwee gives a good performance, you can clearly see his frustration at being stuck on Earth. And for some reason, ever since I first saw this story and taped it (it was one of the first stories I ever taped...and it was on Beta!), I just love the sound of the paper bag the dematerialization circuit arrives in! I can't explain why, I just do.

Thumbs up to this one, most definitely. Lots of stuff going on, but it all fits together nicely. The Master is still evil, Benton and Yates get stuff to do, Michael Sheard shows up, and a great story is had by all. Very much recommended.
