Doctor Who: 10 Stories You Must Rewatch After The Power Of The Doctor

10. Terror Of The Autons

One of the Master's key weapons is tissue compression. This is the technique by which the Master is able to kill a person (or being) by shrinking them down to the size of a matchbox.

Before playing a huge role in The Power of the Doctor, tissue compression made its first appearance in 1971's Terror of the Autons. This serial was also the introduction of the Master, who was played by Roger Delgado. The story is perhaps one of the darkest in all of classic Doctor Who, including one controversial scene where a plastic doll controlled by the Autons comes alive and strangles its owner.

Even the Doctor's life is in danger in this story, as he struggles to compete against the Master, and his alliance with the Autons. At one point, the Doctor is even strangled by a plastic phone cable, which the Master controls to try and kill him.

Overall, Terror of the Autons is an excellent story, which is definitely worth watching for its great plot, set design, and characters, as well as introducing one of the key components of Jodie Whittaker's finale.
