Description

Shortly after sharing the screen in the film The Wicker Man, Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward locked horns again in a film adaptation of the Doctor Who story The Daemons originally made in 1971.

Dr Who and the Demons (1973) saw Lee take on the role of the Master against Woodward's Dr Who. The story follows much the same structure although in place of a heat barrier the Master creates a portal through which Daleks are summoned to surround and defend the village whilst he summons the Devil to destroy humanity.

The film also featured Anoushka Hempel as the Doctor's student/companion and Margaret Leighton as the eccentric white witch Miss Hawthorne.

(Not really) ;-)

Gouache, appeared in DWM in 2001. Newly scanned from original.

Christopher Lee would have made a great Master (as would have Vincent Price).


It would have been interesting to see a movie of The Dæmons even though I don’t like The Wicker Man. Who'd be the rest of the cast? Michael Ripper is mentioned on the other poster - would he have been Bert as I recently saw Don McKillop described as Doctor Who's Michael Ripper?
