Encyclopedia
"The Sound of Drums" is an episode of the British
science fiction television
series Doctor Who
. It was broadcast on BBC One
on 23 June 2007, and is the twelfth episode of Series 3 of the revived Doctor Who series. It is the second of three episodes that form a linked narrative, following "Utopia
" and followed by "Last of the Time Lords
".
The Master arrives in the 21st Century — as Harold Saxon, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom — and the world enters a period of terror when contact with an unknown alien race whom the Master calls the Toclafane is announced.
, Martha
, and Jack
manage to escape from Futurekind in the year 100 trillion
through Jack's repaired Vortex Manipulator, finding themselves in London. They quickly learn that the Master
has taken on the persona of "Mr. Harold Saxon", the newly elected Prime Minister, using his Archangel phone network to subliminally influence the population into voting for him while masking his presence from the Doctor. The three narrowly avoid a bomb placed in Martha's flat, and the arrest of Martha's family, before the Master contacts them to gloat about his seeming victory.
The Doctor learns that the Master was resurrected by the Time Lord
s to fight in the Time War
to be the perfect warrior, but instead the Master fled to the end of the universe and made himself human when defeat seemed inevitable. The Master reveals that the three are now England's most wanted criminals and has stripped them of any help, including sending Jack's Torchwood team on a wild goose chase to the Himalayas. In a conversation on Martha's mobile phone
, the Master asks the Doctor where Gallifrey
is, and the Doctor responds that Gallifrey is "gone" and "burned". With respect to his own role in the Time War, the Doctor says "I had to end it", only goading the Master to taunt the Doctor more about his part in the destruction of the Daleks and Time Lords.
Hiding in an abandoned building, the Doctor uses parts of Martha's laptop and the TARDIS
keys to create a perception filter so they can move about unnoticed. He explains some of the Master's past: that as a child, the Master looked into the Untempered Schism, and was likely driven mad as a result. They come to discover that the Master, as Saxon, is planning to reveal Earth's first contact the next day with an alien race known as the "Toclafane". (In truth, the name refers to the Gallifreyan equivalent of the "bogeyman
".)
As the appointed time of first contact nears, U.S. President Winters arrives in England and places the operation in the hands of UNIT
, transferring the meeting aboard the flying aircraft carrier, the Valiant; the Master accepts this change, as it suits his purposes, and along with his wife Lucy and the rest of Martha's family, board the vessel. The Doctor, Martha, and Jack teleport aboard with Jack's vortex manipulator, discovering the Doctor's TARDIS has been "cannibalised" by the Master to create a Paradox Machine which is building up power to be activated at the appointed time of first contact.
As the three make their way to the bridge, the Doctor tells them to try to get their perception filter around the Master to reveal who he really is to humanity and stop his plan. As they enter the bridge unnoticed, the first four Toclafane, floating metal spheres, appear on the bridge and demand to see the Master; the Master delightedly reveals himself and orders the Toclafane to kill Winters. The Master then reveals that he is well aware of the Doctor's presence in the room by using his laser screwdriver upon the group, temporarily killing Jack while aging the Doctor by 100 years through the use of LazLabs genetic manipulation technology
using biological data from the Doctor's severed hand that the Master had stolen. Jack gives Martha his vortex manipulator and tells Martha to get off the Valiant, as there is no way they can defeat the Master.
The Master brings Martha's family into the bridge as the Paradox Machine nears activation, and taunts the aged Doctor about the nature of the Toclafane and his victory. The Paradox Machine activates as the Master tells the people of Earth that it's the "end of the world". A massive rift opens above the Valiant, and six billion Toclafane descend from it. The Master orders the Toclafane to "decimate
" the Earth's population. As Martha tends to the aged Doctor, he whispers into Martha's ear. Martha, unable to save the Doctor, Jack, or her family, promises she will return, and uses Jack's vortex manipulator to teleport off the Valiant to find safety on Earth; she then flees into the distance as the Toclafane wreak havoc on humanity. The Master himself gloats about the fall of the human race and forces the Doctor to look upon his "new dominion as Master of All."
