Season 9, Episode 25
6/10
Finally we get Ingrid Pitt.

The Master lands on Atlantis, ready to cause mayhem.

I'm impressed by the production values, and costumes, it looks terrific, very high quality.

I'm still a bit underwhelmed by the story, firstly the way The Master dealt with The Doctor seemed final, it was solved so easily, that was lazy writing. I loathed the character of Dalios, I thought George Cormack looked ridiculous, and played it like it was panto, not good.

Fortunately Ingrid Pitt put in a memorable performance, I had forgotten she was only in two episodes, she's sinister and has definite on screen presence, and looks fabulous. When she walks, you watch. Much loved in the horror world, she was better served here then in Warriors of The Deep.

It's ok. 6/10
