I thought that Anthony Ainley's first few moments as the Master were absolutely terrifying.

Then he gradually lost his menace as he kept reappearing.

It also always struck me as odd that the Doctor should choose to save only Nyssa from the doomed Traken in Logopolis.

What about those other poor souls?

There's one thing that's always annoyed me with pictures like this...

If they're prepared to show both incarnations of Romana, why don't they show both versions of K9?

That's a very good point! Although, I have to admit, it never occurred to me until you mentioned it!

A spellbinding moment at the time of broadcast.

Shame it was kinda downhill all the way for Ainley from then on in.
