Tactical Magic (Banishing “The Dæmons”)
Description
Doctor Who meets the Devil! No, wait—sorry, the Doctor insists it’s actually science. The Dæmons brings the UNIT era to full folk-horror boil, complete with white witches, heat barriers, Morris dancers, one extremely patient gargoyle, and Roger Delgado’s Master hiding in plain sight with the diabolical alias “Mr. Magister.” But is this beloved Pertwee classic a perfect fusion of rationalism and vibes, or does its “all magic is science” sermon accidentally sneak magic into Doctor Who through the church crypt? Join us as we summon Azal, praise Bok, admire the Brigadier’s five rounds rapid, and ask the only question that matters: has the Master ever looked better in glasses?
