A Matter of Time: Planet of Fire


ORIGINAL BROADCAST: 24/02/1984

Twenty-six years ago today, Anthony Ainley’s Master appeared in his final story alongside Peter Davison’s Doctor. This was only the third story in the history of Doctor Who to be filmed abroad, the previous two being City of Death and Arc of Infinity.

It was decided that Planet of Fire should be filmed in Lanzarote, as the volcanic landscape could double for the planet Sarn. This was also the first story to feature young American Perpugilliam (Peri) Brown, who would stay until the epic Trial of a Time Lord in season 23, with Colin Baker as the Doctor.
