Or: My Evil Ex-Boyfriend Is Back and My Evil Ex-Boyfriend Is Back: The Sequel.
Okay, without kidding, those two serials were just a joy to watch (and rewatch), especially after two not so stellar Pertwee era stories I also watched recenty, The Daemons (I know they had to deal with all the fashionable stuff in the 70s, but satanism is just gauche, and also, it dragged; otoh, nice Doctor and Brig moments, and great Doctor and Master goodbye exchange), and Planet of the Spiders (not bad, but could have been better since it was the final story for the Third Doctor, though again, love the Doctor and Brig scenes, and is there fanfic about the two of them visiting questionable cabarets since this is canon?). Terror of the Autons, on the other hand, the story that introduced the Master to the Whoverse, and The Mind of Evil, which is competing with The Sea Devils for best Three/Delgado!Master story ever, are Classic Who at its best.
( Enjoy your exile )
Bonus: if you, dear reader of these ramblings, are not famliar with the Old Who shows I just talked about and/or are not patient enough to hunt them down and watch them, BUT would like proof that those decades old tales really have every element of modern slash story other than the actual sex - to wit, as mentioned, witty repartee followed by bondage and groping followed by torture followed by hurt/comfort, I shall link you to the relevant excerpts from Mind of Evil for proof.
Banter, bondage, torture

Twisted hurt and comfort, OMG!
