Ainely (sp?) did not want to move on to other roles. He ENJOYS playing the Master!!

Telos is the planet upon which they were entombed. > Another highlight of the new season features Patrick Troughton (Dr. #2) and > Frazer Hines (Jamie, one of Dr. #2's companions) returning in a story > appropriately called -- "The Two Doctors". Jamie McCrimmon, for those who don't know, is, in terms of episodes, the longest running companion. Sarah Jane Smith runs a very close second, and is by seasons the longest running. (Troughton made about 40 episodes/season, as compared to 20-30 for Pertwee/Tom Baker) > Can stories called "The Four Doctors" and "The Six Doctors" be far behind ? I hope not!
