Dr Derek Drake is a National Treasure - he’s going to solve the energy crisis and stop all pollution. Governments and businesses around the world are signing up to his environmentally friendly campaign. So why is the Doctor convinced this great humanitarian and darling of the media is really the Master in disguise?

What could his greatest enemy hope to gain by improving the lives of everyone on the planet? The Doctor must convince his UNIT friends that they now face the ultimate terror - and that the Master may be in as much danger as they are…

This story was originally available exclusively as part of the 2021 special release Masterful (Limited Edition) marking the 50th anniversary of the first TV appearance of the Master in January 1971.

Producer David Richardson said: “[Terror of the Master] is an authentic slice of Third Doctor thrills courtesy of Trevor Baxendale, and so beautifully performed by Jon Culshaw. It’s a narrated reading, but Jon always brings a full cast of voices with him and, along with Steve Foxon’s brilliant soundscape, you are assured an enhanced audio treat.”
