	The Mark of the Rani
		The Rani straps him down in her laboratory, and when he recovers he finally realizes what's going on (although he's surprised to learn that the Master is also present).
		The Master and the Rani set their trap and wait for the Doctor to stumble into it; the Rani has by now deduced that the Master deliberately drew the Doctor's TARDIS here, seeking revenge and a means to provoke the Rani into co-operating with him.
		The Master and the Rani are trapped, pressed against the walls of the console room by the acceleration as the T-Rex grows to adulthood...

		The Rani is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
		Her major interest is in tinkering with other species' biochemistry - she was exiled from Gallifrey after some of her lab mice, as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the President's pet cat.
		The Rani was created in an attempt to give the Doctor another recurring foe like the Master, but eventually only appeared in two serials, The Mark of the Rani and Time and the Rani, before Doctor Who ended.

	Time and the Mark of the Rani
		When researching 'The Mark of the Rani' they may have consulted the earliest biography of George Stephenson, authorised by his son Robert and written by Samuel Smiles; published in 1856, it was revised and expanded as part of Smiles's unprecedented 1862 history of the industrial revolution, Lives of the Engineers.
		Whereas 'The Mark of the Rani' implies that Ravensworth was the sole owner of Killingworth Colliery (more correctly Killingworth West Moor) he was actually a partner in a consortium known as the 'Grand Allies', his colleagues being John Bowes, 11th Earl of Strathmore, and James Stuart-Wortley, 1st Baron Wharncliffe.
		The pseudo-history of 'The Mark of the Rani', then, is just about plausible; it is a pity that this aspect of the story was not developed further as it might have proved not only more entertaining but furthered the Bakers' educational purposes.

	[No title]
		Mark of the Rani really makes one wish that Baker and Bryant had been given more historically-based stories; it was a gold mine untapped, as they come across so well in the format here: with a setting as distinct, detailed and colourful as their themselves, they thrive.
		The Mark of the Rani is a pleasant diversion in a season notorious for its unpleasantness.
		In The Mark of the Rani the Doctor is heroic, twice telling Peri to keep away when his life is in danger, for the pure and simple reason of protecting her.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
		The actual plot is very straightforward; the Rani has been visiting various historical periods in order to steal a chemical from human brains that gives them the ability to sleep, since she needs it for her work.
		Kate O'Mara is excellent as the Rani, bringing a memorable dominatrix air to the role as she strides about in figure hugging clothing and constantly belittles her fellow Time Lords; O'Mara conveys the Rani's lack of tolerance for the Master in particular very well.
		There are some delightful visual touches, like the volcano, The Rani's TARDIS (which, I'm afraid to say, is a lot better than the Doctor's) and the odd shot at the end in which one of the dinosaur embroyos inside her TARDIS begins to grow at an accelerated speed, which is a surprisingly effective, er, effect.

		The Rani, who has been taking the brain fluid enabling men to sleep throughout history, treats humans as "walking heaps of chemicals." "There's no place for the soul in her scheme of things." Result: the men become restless and violent.
		The Rani has nothing but contempt for the Master and even mocks the rivalry between them: "It obsesses you to the exclusion of all else.", "You're unbalanced--no wonder why the Doctor always outwits you." She even says of his schemes: "It'd be something devious and overcomplicated.
		The Mark of The Rani comes from the ill-fated twenty-second season of the long running show and is certainly one of the highlights of that year's much maligned canon.

		She initially refuses the Master's pleas to help him in his continuing attempts to kill his adversary but is forced to change her mind when he steals a vial of precious brain fluid from her and uses it for flmail.
		This story introduced the Rani, a villainous female Time Lord (her name means "Queen" in Hindi), as played by Kate O'Mara (who would later feature in such series as Brothers and the USA's Dynasty.) The working titles for the story were "Too Clever By Far" and "Enter the Rani".
		The Rani later returned for her second appearance in "Time and the Rani" to open season 24; her character was later named Ushas (her true Gallifreyan name) by author Gary Russell in the novel "Divided Loyalties".

		The Mark of the Rani was the first of two DW adventures with Kate O'Mara as the Rani.
		TMOTR is not one of Ainley's better outings as the Master, as he comes off like a bumbling fool playing second banana to O'Mara's Rani.
		Altogether, The Mark of the Rani is a very good story, and possibly one of the two or three best stories of Season Twenty-Two.

		The Rani's experiments are often very complex, and she will take personal risks in order to ensure that she has what she needs.
		Despite this, the Rani is much more careful with her regenerations than either the Doctor or the Master, and she is very cautious and circumspect.
		As a result of her chemistry background, the Rani is fond of potions and pills, such as chemically-treated maggots which enslave a person to the Rani's will when they are forced to eat one (yum yum), and capsules of powder that either incapacitate or revive anyone who breathes in the contents.

	Doctor Who: The Mark of the Rani - Shiny Shelf
		‘The Mark of the Rani’ is one of the strongest stories from the mid-eighties (let us say 85 — 87) drought that ‘Doctor Who” suffered.
		This was actually directed by Sarah Hellings, the director of ‘The Mark of the Rani’ (providing another reason to include it here) and it’s another nice piece of value both for nostalgia purposes and for demonstrating how kids’ TV can be educational, fun, interesting and non-patronising all at the same time.
		‘The Mark of the Rani’ DVD is an outstanding product; given that the website for the team behind these ‘Doctor Who’ DVDs reports that it was put together in a few weeks when another project became difficult due to the unavailability of key personnel, it’s an even more impressive achievement.

	Dr. Who-The Mark of the Rani (1985) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Coincidentally another rogue Time Lord, a mysterious anarchic scientist known as the Rani (Kate O'Mara), is also present and is stealing the chemical that enables humans to sleep directly from the bodies of the locals (and leaving the titular "Mark of the Rani").
		Yes, the Rani has a number or rather silly and ill-explained weapons, the most sinister of which turns people into trees.
		It is awkwardly directed and poorly shot in many scenes, the action scenes are poorly staged to the point of being laughable, the story is poor, the script is terrible save for a handful of great lines and the history in it is unusually inaccurate and misleading for what was typically a well-researched show.

		Last night the delightful Ben - who in the past has described me rather delightfully as his Doctor Who boyfriend - popped over for some food, wine and the latest in the classic series DVD releases "The Mark of the Rani".
		It's just as well Kate O'Mara's Rani is there to produce a much more entertaining adversary: an amoral, sarcastic, scientist who - like many of those watching - views the Master and the Doctor's feud as tedious and unnecessary.
		I'm probably hideously off the mark here, but I see the pair of you, from this description, as a kind of male Hinge and Bracket.
