The green screen effect was pretty bad in at least the first episode. Searching around I see it's kind of famous for that. I also found shots of this episode where the backgrounds looked much better, which I'm supposing are from a Blu-ray remaster or something. | The green screen effect was pretty bad in at least the first episode.

So the Doctor failed to repair his TARDIS with a piece from the Master's, but in the process has also made the Master stuck on Earth. I suppose that's why he's apparently such a recurring character during this period. | So the Doctor failed to repair his TARDIS with a piece from the Master's, but in the process has also made the Master stuck on Earth.

The Master seems pretty wishy-washy. At the end he and the Autons essentially win, but the Doctor essentially says "...sure, but will the Autons honor your alliance?" at which point the Master is like "Oh shit, better switch sides for the moment!" Very funny that in the end the Master's big escape plan is... driving away in a very conspicuous van. And the military can't find him before he dumps it. | |||
The Doctor seems cheerful about the opportunity to have the Master as a continuing adversary, which I'm sure is appreciated by the people who keep dying in these episodes. | |||
