59. The Daemons

The "supernatural" enters Doctor Who! The Devil vs. The Doctor!
To cap off season 8, the "Master" season, the Doctor and crew head to a sleepy outer-counties village where the Master is posing as a Vicar and summoning the Devil to do his bidding. Of course we find out that Azal, the so called devil, is actually an alien. Natch.
This story really showcases the UNIT "family" that's been building all season with the Brig, Yates and Benton all getting great spotlights throughout the story. We also see the culmination of the Doctor's relationship with Jo that been built over the season. Katy Manning really cements you place in history as THE 3rd Doctor companion (no offense Liz or Sarah Jane).
With the capture of the Master at the end of story, the ongoing cat and mouse game between the Doctor and the Master will take a turn. But it has been a fun chase over the season and quickly installed the Master as one of the all-time great Doctor Who villains.
