For his appearance as the Master in ''The Keeper of Traken'', Beevers wore the same hooded robe as worn by [[Peter Pratt]] in ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]''. However, on this occasion the original rubber mask — which had deteriorated too badly to be saved — was replaced with green makeup and face paint (the latter being used to paint teeth onto Beevers' lips), which allowed Beevers to give the character more facial expression.
