The third Doctor and the brigadier’s relationship while the Doctor is in exile is such a fantastic inversion of the Doctor-companion dynamic. Like they’re friends and have a mutual professional respect for each other, but then there’s the unspoken reality that the Doctor is completely dependent on the brig for his status/ability to live on earth unmolested. Multiple government officials try to dig up who the doctor is and find he has zero identification and the brig always stops them by taking personal responsibility for him.

It’s utterly compelling then when they have different goals or approaches to a problem. The doctor frequently visibly holds himself back from going completely off on the Brigadier when he disagrees because the Doctor knows if he alienates him he’s completely fucking screwed. And the writing manages to do this without the brig coming off like a threat or an antagonist. More that he and the doctor disagree on priorities and end up being minor obstacles to each other despite both wanting the best possible outcome. The tension is amazing and so much better than modern!UNIT where everyone seems to fall at the doctor’s feet begging for deliverance like he’s jesus christ

The Council of the Great Mother is a Gallifreyan organization that specializes on the politics surrounding regeneration and some additional religious matters. (Audio: Spring)

The Master and The Doctor dynamic is really funny in comparison to other versions of the "hero and villain used to be friends/sort of still are friends/you could interpret them as ex-lovers" trope. Most versions of this trope like magneto and sinestro are well-intentioned extremist villains so you can see why they used to be friends and where their ideologies diverged. Whereas The Master just straight up commits mass murder for fun. Yet The Doctor is so unhinged that the Doctor Who fandom universally accepts this without question. We're all just like "yeah that seems like the kind of guy The Doctor would hang out with".
