Synopsis


In the peaceful village of Devil's end something very strange is happening. A professor is preparing to open a nearby burial mound and a local white witch foresees death and disaster. Meanwhile, the new vicar looks suspiciously like the Master and he is using black magic to conjure up an ancient Daemon. Can the doctor, Jo and UNIT stop their old enemy before he succeeds?

Background


The Without the TARDIS, and with the restrictions of a Doctor exiled on Earth, it proves that the series can work equally well without alien worlds and a threat that is more local and familiar to viewers. And in a story where the Master turns out to be the new vicar, the threat doesn't get more local than that.

Producer Barry Letts had a fascination with black magic from an early age, so when he decided to co-write the final story of Doctor Who's 8th season, he chose to expand on an idea from the audition script he had used for the casting of Jo Grant and Captain Mike Yates. For the audition piece, the new characters confronted the Devil in a church, but for The Daemons the black magic element was explained by science and the 'Devil' became a devil-like creature called Azal. Letts wrote the script with Robert Sloman, and they chose to go under the pseudonym of Guy Leopold.

Like all the stories in 1971, Roger Delgado made an appearance as the Master. Although a strong and popular character, his inclusion in every story was seen to be a mistake by Barry Letts - so his character was given a rest after this story.

With location filming in the picturesque Wiltshire village of Aldbourne, which looks exactly the same today as it did in 1971, The Daemons ends Jon Pertwee's second season as the Third Doctor on a high.
