Starring Tom Baker Llewellyn Rees Bernard Horsfall George Pravda Angus Mackay Peter Pratt Hugh Walters Erik Chitty Derek Seaton Maurice Quick Hugh Walters Angus Mackay John Dawson Michael Bilton Peter Mayock Written by Robert Holmes Produced by Philip Hinchcliffe Directed by David Maloney Synopsis Gallifrey. Planet of the Time Lords. The Doctor has finally come home, but not by choice. Summoned by a vision from The Matrix, he is drawn into web of political intrigue and assassination. Nothing is quite what it seems, and in the shadows lurks his oldest and dealiest enemy ... Background One of the main reasons The Deadly Assassin was made by the production team was a necessity for the Doctor. Unfortunately, as a one off, due to the superb script by Robert Holmes and the masterly direction of David Maloney, they produced yet another classic. For the first timed in the series' history an entire story is set on Gallifrey. Indeed there are many firsts here, which still influence the series today. We learn that Time Lords have only twelve regenerations, that the Doctor's TARDIS is a Type 40, and that there is a secret organisation called the Celestial Intervention Agency at work, plus we see the Seal of Rassilon and meet Cardinal Borusa. Fandom at the time rebelled against this decrepit version of the Time Lords, the Doctor's race having previously been presented as all-powerful beings. However, hindsight has shown that this stagnating, insular society of politics, ceremony and greed, illustrates clearly why the Doctor had to leave. With Tom Baker at the height of his powers sumptuous design by James Acheson, a wonderful Holmes double act in Engin and Spandrell and the shock return of the Master, The Deadly Assassin is Doctor Who at its very best.
