the one where the master teams up with the doctor to defeat the terror of the autons.. in the past three episodes alone, the master has tried to kill the doctor at least four times - first by rigging a volatiser trap in the radio telescope, then by hiding a bomb inside a unit crate, then by trying to blow him up with a grenade held by phillips, and then by using a sentient trimphone cord. so when the master suddenly appears in the doctors lab (what was he doing up the spiral staircase?), pointing a weapon right at him, you expect him to be able to see his threat through. but oh no, like so many arch-villains in adventure fiction, he has too much to say for himself and ends up missing the easiest opportunity for killing the doctor hes yet had. all he had to do is point and shoot, but his urgency to get back to the bus at the quarry means he kill the doctor, because hes tried in four pretty uncompromising ways already. if this is all just a game to the two of them (as has been suggested in some quarters of fandom), then the master doesnt mean the game to last very long! the opening sequence, with the doctor and jo fleeing from the auton policemen in some sort of a quarry as jo puts it, is very well-staged stuff. i find the auton trying to get out of the jammed police car door quite unsettling as it struggles away, then calmly opens fire with its hand gun. i really think these auton faces are scarier than the previous ones, which is a change of opinion for me mannequin ones. as terrifying as the shop window dummies are, i find these blank-faced template autons even eerier. these autons are relentless, pursuing the doctor and jo with determined aggression, firing at them as they run, and firing at yates in the faithful unit austin car! when yates drives the auton over the cliff, terry walshs stunt fall is sustained and impressive, and the most terrifying thing is when the auton reaches the bottom of the slope, it just gets straight back up and starts scrambling its way
