Equally worried is Miss Hawthorne, the local white witch, who foretells a terrible disaster if he goes ahead.

The only person who wants the Professor to open the barrow is the new vicar (in truth THE MASTER) whose secret ceremonies are designed to conjure up from out of the barrow a horribly powerful being ...
 

An ancient archaeological barrow.

A White Witch warning of impending doom.

A trio of formidable foes - Azal, Boc and... The Master!

The Doctor and Jo Grant, his assistant, are soon to come face-to-face with an evil almost as old as time itself. Read the complete, classic script of a story voted by fans the best ever Doctor Who, together with fascinating background and technical information.
 

For 200 years the secret of Devil's End village has lain dormant, as the burial mound, the so-called Devil's Hump, has remained sealed. Until now, at midnight on April 30th on the greatest occult festival of the year, as Professor Horner prepares to break it open. But just what evil treasures lie buried there? Will the local white witch's warnings of doom and destruction be fulfilled? Who or what is the mighty Azal? But even more disturbing for the Doctor and Jo, just how is the Reverend Magister, alians the infamous Master, involved in the mystery?

Originally transmitted in colour 22 May - 19 june 1971, this five part adventure starring Jon Pertwee was lost in its original form. Only a black and white version and an edited colour American NTSC standard version remained until now when technology worthy of the Doctor himself has reconciled the two, syncronising them into one full colour version. The final touch then had to be added, to reconstruct those sequences edited out of the American veraion and of which only black and white footage remained. This was achieved by adding colour by hand, with a Paintbox special effects unit, and the end result is the Dæmons, in colour in full for the first time in over 20 years.
