Publisher Description

A dangerous adventure begins for the Doctor and Jo Grant when they visit Stangmoor Prison for a demonstration of the new Keller Machine. The device is said to extract negative emotions from convicted prisoners, leaving them pacified and reformed. But when it apparently goes wrong, a far more sinister purpose is revealed …

The Doctor’s old enemy, the Master, is behind the machine, working in conjunction with an alien mind parasite. As unrest builds amongst Stangmoor’s prisoners, the Master takes control, his ultimate aim to hijack a deadly missile and threaten the World Peace Conference taking place in London. As Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart leads UNIT in the defense of both the missile and Stangmoor, the Doctor and Jo must fight to stay alive and help avert a third world war!

“The Mind of Evil can be summed up with just two words: often overlooked…The Mind of Evil is clearly one of the classic series’ best-directed pieces…As a story, The Mind of Evil is a real watershed for Jon Pertwee’s Doctor, who discernibly starts to let go of the Earthbound angst that characterized his first season….It’s not hard to see why Katy Manning cites this story as being her favorite Doctor Who adventure; it’s definitely one of her character’s best. Edgy, stylish, topical, and remarkably prescient, The Mind of Evil is one of my firm favorites, too.”

— E. G. Wolverson, DoctorWhoReviews.co.uk 

Quotes

  • “This production is a 1971 script from the original British TV series, using narration to replace the visuals. The script itself is ‘quite dry,’ as narrator Richard Franklin, who appeared in the original, notes in an accompanying interview. But Franklin brings it to life with energy and humor. Minor bits such as the Doctor grinning at a security camera get hilarious treatment...Fans will love it.”
