Written by Robert Sloman, it would have revealed the details of the relationship between [[the Doctor]] and [[the Master]]: either that were actually brothers or the latter [[Time Lord]] was an amalgamation of the former Time Lord's darker personality. This story originally ends with the Master's [[Roger Delgado]] incarnation sacrificing himself, then the [[Third Doctor]] [[Regeneration|regenerates]]. But the serial was never produced due to Delgado's sudden death. Instead ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'' replaced this story, and Delgado's character was shelved until ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'', which recast the Master as [[Peter Pratt]], in a decayed state. | ||
