These Master reveals are getting more and more obvious! It does nothing to spice up what is an exceptionally bland story up until that point. This iteration of The Master continues to add nothing. In fact, this two parter remains wholly unexceptional until the King is revealed to be a humanoid robot called Kamelion. Then you find yourself with a handful of crazy, dead in the eyes Kamelion scenes. I like when he temporarily turns into Tegan and Janet Fielding gets to do her best dead in the eyes impression. It’s so strange. Obviously I’d heard of Kamelion, but he’d largely managed to pass me by as a fan of 16 years. Such a strange element of the show. I hate the uncanny way his chin moves. And how he has to be propped up against a chair.

I’m making the story sound worse than it is. It’s mostly a bit dull, then the sci-fi element of our new robot friend adds a little bit of fun into the mix.
