THE DEADLY ASSASSIN (1976) DOCTOR WHO COLLECTOR FIGURE SET

The Deadly Assassin was the third serial of Season 14 and was the only story in the Classic series of Doctor Who to feature the Doctor without a companion.

This story also saw the return of the Doctor's nemesis, the Master, but in a heavily decayed state. Several notable figures of Time Lord society were introduced, or referenced again, including The Matrix, The High Council, Time Lord Chapters, Time Lord ceremonial head-dresses and robes, as well as iconic characters such as Borusa, Rassilon, and Spandrell as well as the secretive C.I.A.

It also introduced the restriction of a Time Lord to a finite limit of twelve incarnations, after which a Time Lord would suffer a permanent death.

SYNOPSIS

The Doctor heads to Gallifrey to answer to the Time Lords summons. On the way, he is struck by a premonition in which he himself seems assassinate the President from a gallery overlooking the Panopticon.

Landing in the security area of the Citadel, guards impound the TARDIS and attempt to arrest the Doctor as a wanted criminal.

The Doctor leaves a note on the console warning of his premonition and sneaks out of the TARDIS and into the Citadel. He is cornered by a guard, who is shot dead by an unknown assailant, who flees before the Doctor can confront them.

The Doctor infiltrates the President's resignation announcement by stealing a set of Time Lord's ceremonial robes. Inside, he looks up to the gallery and is horrified to see a staser rifle near an unattended camera. He charges through the room to get to the gallery as the President enters, and when he stands at the dais, the Doctor grabs the staser rifle, aims and fires.

The President falls down dead…..and the Doctor is quickly apprehended by security, but the assassination has thrown Gallifrey into a constitutional crisis. The President has died before he could name his successor as Chancellor Goth, a Time Lord thought to have been the most likely successor. Goth calls for prompt elections and stands as a candidate, but also urges the Doctor's swift trial and execution.

At the trial the Doctor, however, invokes Article 17 of the Gallifreyan Constitution, naming himself as alternative candidate for President. Under it, he cannot be denied the right to make his claim and is grudgingly given forty-eight hours to prove his innocence.

At the heart of the whole mysterious affair sits the now decaying Master in his final and failing regeneration, who is out to not only destroy the Doctor, but find a way to regenerate himself using the immense power of the 'Eye of Harmony which is controlled only by the Lord President..
