- April 8 - The first appearance of the now-familiar title graphic
- for te show featuring the Doctor's face - in the perhaps inappropriately
- titled story - ""The Faceless ones" by David Ellis and Malcolm Hulke!

- I have seen this also stated in other references as well (don't have time
- to look them up right now).  This is the first and only time I heard
- that it was Macra Terror that was the first face-sequence story.
- I think it would be wise for the both of us to check immediately later issues
- of DWM for a retraction or correction of that goof, for I think I can
- recall seeing this the first time and then a retraction later.

  Your above sugestion is the best roue to go.

- Jean-Marc Lofficier's Programme Guides are just as non-canon as are
- the novels, and I still say the "master" was the old man, the person.
- There is not one occasion in episode 5 where Zoe, the Doctor, or anyone
- call the computer "the Master of the Land."  What they do call it is
- "the Master Brain" which is a completely different name from what you
- asked in your quiz question.
-
-
  1) Define canon for us.
  2) The Master of the land contained 2 components: 1) A human who needed
     to be replaced, 2) A computer that brought the fictional characters into
     existence.  I was looking for the 2 components.
