'''''The Time Monster''''' was the fifth and final serial of [[season 9]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It featured another explanation of the destruction of [[Atlantis]] (1967's ''[[The Underwater Menace (TV story)|The Underwater Menace]]'' and 1971's ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'' also offered explanations).

In addition to his use of [[hypnosis]], the Master also demonstrated a newly seen ability to perfectly imitate another person's voice. | ||
This story marked the debut of the first redesign for the [[TARDIS console room]], which was shared for both the [[Third Doctor]]'s and the Master's respective TARDIS interiors. It featured heavy alterations to the original [[roundel]] design of the TARDIS interior set that had remained in use since 1963, and a new [[time rotor]] prop. However, the exaggerated roundel design was subjected to criticism and suffered heavy damage during the filming break between season 9 and [[season 10]], necessitating the disposal of the new set and the construction of a second redesign that would appear in the upcoming season. | This story marked the debut of the first redesign for the [[TARDIS console room]], which was shared for both the [[Third Doctor]]'s and the Master's respective TARDIS interiors.

Elsewhere, the Master — or [[The Master's aliases|Professor Thascalos]], as he calls himself — holds the crystal the Doctor saw in his dream. He's in a laboratory at the [[Newton Institute]], working with Dr [[Ruth Ingram]]. The crystal, the Master claims, is no different than any other piece of [[quartz]], yet it is. [[Stuart Hyde]], a co-worker, enters. The Master leaves them to conduct further experiments. After he has left, Ruth says she doesn't know which is more annoying, "his dictatorial manner or that infernal courtesy of his." | Elsewhere, the Master — or [[The Master's aliases|Professor Thascalos]], as he calls himself — holds the crystal the Doctor saw in his dream.

Jo mentions [[Atlantis]], telling the Doctor that Thera is reputedly its location. The Doctor talks to [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]] on the phone and tells him to put out a warning to every [[UNIT]] section and HQ, because of a dream he had about a half hour ago. He says he is too busy to see the [[TOMTIT]] demonstration at the Newton Institute, so [[John Benton|Benton]], who was meant to be going off duty is asked to go instead. | ||
At the institute, the Master [[Hypnosis|hypnotises]] the Director, Dr [[Charles Percival]], into believing him about his TOMTIT experiments and his credentials. In the lab, Ruth and Stu decided to run the test without "the Professor".
