  • "Survival" was a three-part episode!
  • The Seventh Doctor. Played by Sylvester McCoy, took the lead as one of the Doctor's amazing forms.
  • It also brought the Doctor face-to-face with his biggest, most famous enemy: The Master!
  • The Doctor even had an intense, crazy rivalry in which both had to take on a challenging ride on motorcycles and had an incredible crash that made fans question what could happen!

"Survival Part 3" ended on this high note of crazy adventure! While fans thought The Master and The Doctor would have been taken off of the scene during their "Game of Chicken!"
