They tell him about the overload, and he tells them they were drawing power from outside time itself. Back at the institute, the Master confronts Ruth and Stu, berating them for their foolishness. The Doctor and Jo decide to follow the signal. Outside, the window cleaner falls from his ladder. The experiment is causing an overload, but Ruth and Stu contain it. Looking at the clock outside his window, the Master notices it has slowed down. The experiment at the institute shows the jar at one end disappearing and reappearing at the other. The Master apologises to Ruth Ingram and Stuart Hyde for his outburst.Īt UNIT HQ, the Doctor uses a time sensor to detect the Master. Outside, a window cleaner observes their efforts, having been distracted from his work. In the lab, Ruth and Stu decided to run the test without "the Professor". He says he is too busy to see the TOMTIT demonstration at the Newton Institute, so Benton, who was meant to be going off duty is asked to go instead.Īt the institute, the Master hypnotises the Director, Dr Charles Percival, into believing him about his TOMTIT experiments and his credentials. The Doctor talks to the Brigadier on the phone and tells him to put out a warning to every UNIT section and HQ, because of a dream he had about a half hour ago. Jo mentions Atlantis, telling the Doctor that Thera is reputedly its location. After he has left, Ruth says she doesn't know which is more annoying, "his dictatorial manner or that infernal courtesy of his."Īt UNIT HQ, Mike Yates points out the Thera islands, where the quakes have struck. The Master leaves them to conduct further experiments. The crystal, the Master claims, is no different than any other piece of quartz, yet it is. He's in a laboratory at the Newton Institute, working with Dr Ruth Ingram. He enquires if there have been any reports of volcanic eruptions or earthquakes lately.Įlsewhere, the Master - or Professor Thascalos, as he calls himself - holds the crystal the Doctor saw in his dream. The Doctor sits before the Master, who stands next to a crystal, laughing. The creature is summoned but proves to be uncontrollable. The Master, in the guise of Professor Thascalos, has constructed at the Newton Institute in Wootton a device known as TOMTIT - Transmission Of Matter Through Interstitial Time - to gain control over Kronos, a creature from outside time. However, the exaggerated roundel design was subjected to criticism and suffered heavy damage during the filming break between season 9 and season 10, necessitating the disposal of the new set and the construction of a second redesign that would appear in the upcoming season. It featured heavy alterations to the original roundel design of the TARDIS interior set that had remained in use since 1963, and a new time rotor prop. This story marked the debut of the first redesign for the TARDIS console room, which was shared for both the Third Doctor's and the Master's respective TARDIS interiors. In addition to his use of hypnosis, the Master also demonstrated a newly seen ability to perfectly imitate another person's voice. This was also the penultimate serial to feature Roger Delgado as the Master and was the last story to feature the Master on "present day" Earth against the Doctor and UNIT. It featured another explanation of the destruction of Atlantis (1967's The Underwater Menace and 1971's The Dæmons also offered explanations). The Time Monster was the fifth and final serial of season 9 of Doctor Who.
