Master antecedent
Browsing the market on Tuesday, I found a children's adventure story called The Master, by T.H. White (he of The Sword and the Stone). It's set on Rockall, so I bought it in the hope that there would be puffins (there are). Anyway, leaving that aside, this is fascinating, from the blurb:
"[...] a sinister being being known as 'The Master' is weaving his appalling plans to rule the world. He is able to subjugate the men who work for him by controlling their minds..."
It was published in 1957. I'd love to know if Bob Holmes, Terrance Dicks, or Barry Letts had read it (the Master's first story, Terror of the Autons was transmitted in 1971).
ETA: Dammit, there's a character going by the name of "the Doctor" in it too.

I suspect that there aren't any pics that have Lucy and Martha standing that close. Ah well, I shall let the idea sit in my brain for a while, and see if something comes up.
