As you might suspect from how unusually complex it is for this show, the Kamelion animatronic wasn't actually made for Doctor Who and was pulled out of storage from another sci-fi show that had never made it to air. Just one problem: it was quite complicated to operate, and its creator had died without ever telling anyone else exactly how it worked or leaving any instructions. So it's forced to mostly just sit there, and the crew deeply regretted making a whole thing about how it would supposedly now be a regular presence in the TARDIS.

"Do our demons come to visit us? Bid them attend us.", The King, "The King's Demons" We like a historical - and the first featuring a known historical figure since ... er ... since forever. Wow, I think it could be all the way back to "The Gunfighters" - is that right? "Oh, my dear Doctor, you have been naive.", The Master, "The King's Demons" Again we get a "Estram" = "Master" misdirection - oh, he's tricky - but you can't fool Jess! People have speculated that this is much more of a Meddling Monk scheme than a plan of the Master. And I agree - it really feels like a sequel to the Meddling Monk and his historical meddling in 1066. (I know Peter Butterworth had died a few years earlier in 1979 but a nice regeneration could work.) We like a cute android - but I don't think Kamelion is. The Kamelion prop was very impressive in the demonstration but had lots and lots of problems during the filming. Nice to see Peter and Anthony Ainley get a chance to do some fencing. I am strongly reminded, as were you, of 3 here - especially fighting the Master in "The Sea Devils" but we can also recall 4 in "The Masque of Mandragora", and "The Androids of Tara". And I guess 10 in "The Christmas Invasion". Do we count 12 and his spoon? "Can you not call on Hell?", "I could, but then so could you, with a better chance of success, I fancy.", Hugh and Turlough, "The King's Demons" We have another Classic Who actor who later appeared in New Who - Christopher Villiers as Hugh returned to New Who in the "Mummy on the Orient Express" story. "No wonder they forced him to sign Magna Carta. Bet there was something in it about underheated housing.", Tegan, "The King's Demons" And Tegan disguises herself as a yeti. When Queen Victoria knighted Rose and the Doctor, we Classic Who viewers were reminded on this story. Of course, here the Doctor is knighted by a fake king. But the other situation just lead to Torchwood problems. Of the Classic Who two-parters so far: "The Edge of Destruction" - Susan with scissors, "The Rescue" - Vicki's intro, "The Sontaran Experiment" - Sarah in a yellow coat, "Black Orchid" - Peter plays cricket and this one, my favorite would probably be "Black Orchid". "I don't want to go home.", "Of course you do. You don't have to pretend. It's a shame, of course. There were many wonders I wanted to show you.", Tegan and the Doctor, "The King's Demons"
