Rewatched The Deadly Assassin.
What a cracking story, really gripping from the off and episode three truly is the stuff of nightmares - it certainly was for me when i saw it as a child - Peter Pratt's Master is genuinely scary, a far cry from the charming sophistication of Roger Delgado, whilst Tom is excellent as the Doctor and Bernard Horsfall a formidable opponent.
Special mention to George Pravda and Erik Chitty as the two Time Lords aiding the Doctor. Many see them as bumbling rather than all powerful but i find them quite endearing.
