The King's Demons, Part OneEpisode Number: 606 Season Num: 20 First Aired: Tuesday March 15, 1983 Prod Code: 6J |
England, 1215. With the historic signing of the Magna Carta supposedly only days away, the Doctor is startled to find King John apparently intent on provoking civil war - and seemingly in two places at once…
| Writer: | Terence Dudley |
| Director: | Tony Virgo |
| Star: | Peter Davison (The Doctor), Mark Strickson (Turlough), Janet Fielding (Tegan) |
| Recurring Role: | Gerald Flood (King John), Anthony Ainley (The Master) |
| Guest Star: | Frank Windsor (Ranulph), Isla Blair (Isabella), Christopher Villiers (Hugh), Michael J. Jackson (Sir Geoffrey), Peter Burroughs (Jester) |
The Master calls himself "Sir Gilles Estram", Estram being an anagram of Master. To maintain the surprise of the Master's appearance at the end of the episode, the listings magazine Radio Times credited the part of Sir Giles to "James Stoker", itself an anagram of "Master's Joke."
(edit)
Ranulf: He is said to be the best swordsman in France!
The Doctor: Well, fortunately, we're in England. (edit)
The Doctor: Well, fortunately, we're in England. (edit)
Anachronism: Although iconic, the iron maiden was almost certainly never used in medieval England.
(edit)
Factual Error: It's very strange that Sir Gilles — and only Sir Gilles — speaks with a French accent. In 1215, French was the official language of the English court. Either everyone should have a French accent or no one should. (Foreign languages had previously been represented as unaccented English).
(edit)
Anachronism: The iron maidens, including the Master's TARDIS, have an Elizabethan ruff.
