![]() For Stor to just crack open the grenades and threaten to blow up Gallifrey, the Sontaran battle fleet and the entire galaxy is just lazy desperation on the part of writers Graham Williams and Anthony Read. But at what point was it made clear the Sontarans couldn't control the Time Lords? They've not done too bad a job so far, especially with Kelner at their elbow solving every problem that comes their way. If the Sontarans can't control the power of the Time Lords, then nobody will. ![]() Suddenly, Stor decides that he just wants to blow everything up, for "the glory". Derek Deadman's Stor is a laughing stock.īy the end I'm lost as to what's going on any more, or why. He can't even put his helmet on correctly, plonking it on his head skew-whiff in a moment that made me burst with laughter. Playing a potato-headed Doctor Who monster might not be up there with Hamlet or King Lear, but Deadman does not have the talent required to play a convincing villain in a rubber mask. This is the sort of actor more accustomed to roles such as "Man at telephone box", "Knicker snatcher" and "Second porter". Deadman might be right for the part in that he is short and stout, but other than that, the guy just can't act. Coupled with Deadman's painfully poor performance (his delivery is slow, rasping and leaden), the whole Sontaran experience is disappointing. ![]() The mask is an ill-fitting travesty of previous Sontaran masks, it isn't even attached to Derek Deadman's face around the eyes or nose. and, as suspected, it wasn't worth the wait. Two minutes in to the sixth episode, Sontaran Commander Stor finally takes off his mask. The one where Leela and K-9 decide to stay behind on Gallifrey.
