They send warning that the Master has arrived anfd the Doctor soon discovers that the evil Time Lord is working is working alongside the Nestene Consciousness, controller of lethal Auton creatures. Once again, the planet is in terrible danger. Can the Doctor and his new assistant Jo Grant save it before it's too late and the true terror of the Autons is revealed? Background Terror of the Autons opens Jon Pertwee's second series of Doctor Who and creates a fresh template for an exciting new era of the show. The story is bright, bold and full of plastic. It features the return of the nightmarish Autons, who appeared the year before in Spearhead from Space, and is quite different in tone and style from previous Doctor Who. There are many firsts here. As well as a new UNIT base and laboratory for the Doctor, there's a new companion, new captain at UNIT and a brilliant new villain. The Master, played here with suitable menace by Roger Delgado, was created to provide a Moriarty figure for the Third Doctor. The character appears in every story that year - and returns again and again throughout Doctor Who's history. Katy Manning makes her debut as the Doctor's endearingly clumsy assistant Jo Grant, and is very different from the previous year's companion. Jo is the antithesis of Liz Shaw - less of an equal to the Doctor, and more about asking important questions and getting into trouble. By the end of the first episode, she has already been hypnotised into trying to blow-up UNIT! The Nestene and the Autons are popular and well-remembered monsters, even though they only appeared in two stories. They were originally going to return to fight the Sixth Doctor in 1985 - but it wasn't until Docvpor Who's comeback in 2005, that Russell T Davies resurrected them as the alien menace for the first new series adventure, Rose.
