Each time I watch this, I am blown away by the absolute majesty of Doctor Who from this era, and The Deadly Assassin in particular. Every single thing about this episode is on point the writing, plot, acting, visuals, sounds, even the fact that the Doctor is companionless, without any friends to rely on. I love the moment when he realises it's the Master he's facing on their shared home planet, Galifrey.
Tom is sensational, with absolute command of the role, I don't think he had been better, just astonishing, for many, myself included Tom will forever be The Doctor. Watch this, you'll know why.
Peter Pratt was marvellous as The Master, adding a whole new creepy dimension to the character, but plaudits to the designers for making him so repulsive and terrifying, those eyes!
What a story though, how advanced were they to create the Matrix, the scenes there, wonderful, surreal and terrifying.
Those involved in this production got it spot on, absolutely superb viewing. 10/10
