Recognised as canon by Steven Moffat:
This story falls between series 6 & 7 and features the 11th Doctor, Amy, Rory and a new companion Nick Jennings (played by Nicholas Hoult).
"DEVIANT SEED"
It is 17th Century England. The TARDIS lands in a small clearing deep within some woods. Birds are singing all around and squirrels run up the trees as the Doctor emerges.
The Doctor:*sniffing the air* hmmmm lovely. There is nothing quite like the smell of an English forest.
Amy, Rory and Nick emerge:
Amy: I like don't like this at all. Theres mud all around and it'll damage my shoes.
Rory: Oh stop whining Amy. You do have a point though. Couldn't you have taken us to the future instead Doctor?
The Doctor: No. Nick wanted to see the English Civil War as it has always been an interest of his. Nick is intelligent and reads books. Unlike you.
Amy: Hey don't insult my husband.
The Doctor: Shut it Pond *aside to the camera* life
As they trample through the undergrowth they hear voices. They can hear a man mumbling and a woman shrieking.
Rory: What the hell is that?
The Doctor: Presumably some couple having sex in the woods.
Nick: No it isn't Doctor, I can see them. Some fat bloke is hitting a woman round the face.
The Doctor: Come on team TARDIS, lets rescue her!
They rush towards the couple and see a large man in Roundhead uniform hitting a woman in a shawl
Roundhead: Tell me where they keep their guns at night wench. And how to get in the house
Woman: As true as God's my judge I don't know. I'm just a poor serving girl.
The Doctor and the others advance on them.
The Doctor: Unhand that woman at once!
Rory: Let her go you ugly ¤¤¤¤!
The Doctor: Don't swear please Rory.
Rory: Sorry Doctor.
Roundhead: Stick your hands up *pointing 16th century pistol at them.
Amy: Stick them up where?
Roundhead: Don't play the jester with me wench. Get them up.
As the Roundhead waves his pistol at Amy the Doctor kicks it out of his hand while Rory pushes him over into some stinging nettles. The Roundhead yelps with pain. The Doctor grabs the serving girl's hand and they all run off before the Roundhead can recover. Eventually they see a clearing and a large country house.
Serving Girl: I'm Lizzie. Thats my Master's house, Sir Reginald Brandreth. He's a cavalier. We support King Charles. The Roundheads are planning to attack the house.
The Doctor: Then we will help you.
They enter the house through the servants' back passage and down into the kitchens. A large lady offers them some meat pies:
Cook: 'Ere 'Ave a pie each for rescuing our Lizzie. Baked 'em earlier I did.
Nick: What is in them madam?
Cook: Cromwell's todger.
Nick winces and the servants all laugh and belch.
Cook: Oh its just my little joke Sir. They be blackbird pies.
The Doctor: I think we'll pass on them for now. We must warn your master about the Roundheads.
Cook: But they be freshly baked.
Rory: Look we don't want your damn pies you daft old bag. Where is your boss?
The Doctor: Amy please tell your husband not to be so rude to people.
Amy kicks Rory in the shin.
The Doctor: We will partake of your excellent pies later Madam. Now where is Sir Reginald?
Cook: Please follow me Sir.
The cook leads them up several winding stairways until they come to a landing which leads to the drawing room. They see a massive armchair near the wood fire.
Cook: Here be the Master sir
The figure in the chair gets up and the Doctor sees that the cook's master is...........
.............. The Master!
to be continued.

"DEVIANT SEED" Part 2
The Master smiles
The Master: So Doctor we meet again. I trust that you are well?
The Doctor frowns
The Doctor: I must say that I'm surprised to see you again old chap. I am frankly unsure whether I should be pleased or angry. How did you survive this time?
The Master: Oh come now Doctor, the least you can do is to shake hands with the only other surviving Time Lord.
The Master holds out his hand and the Doctor warily shakes it.
Amy: Hey Doctor you've told me about the Master. Isn't he like really evil? Why shake the bozo's hand?
The Doctor is bemused.
The Doctor: Amy, whatever the Master has done in the past he is a Time Lord and now apparently a gentleman. As your social superior the least you can do is show him some respect.
Lizzie the maid arrives with a tray of cakes and the Master offers them all a glass of wine.
The Master: I'm proud of the cellar I keep here. Some of the finest wines are imported from Spain. These wretched Roundheads are threatening the trade though.
The Doctor: *sipping the wine* Hmmm this is an exquisite vintage. So tell me old chap, how did you come to be living as a gentleman during the 1640s?
The Master: I used an Anxonian Suberraneal Turverseration Device to created a sub-anatomical convergence replica of myself to escape death and project myself back to my TARDIS. A randomly landed in the woods near here. When I arrived at the house the servants assumed that I was Sir Reginald Brandreth, the heir to the estate, back from living in Burgundy. He had left as a boy and no one knew what he looked like as an adult. I assumed the role and love it. It is a pleasant retirement.
NIck: What happened to the real Sir Reginald?
The Master: There was a shipwreck dear boy. Naturally when I heard I concocted a story that I'd survived and been washed ashore.
After a few drinks the Master gets his butler Tyrell to show them to their rooms:
Tyrell: *to Amy and Rory* You be 'avin the big room at the end. We arn't like those puritannical Roundheads so if you want to hump like rabbits you can.
Suddenly there is a scream from outside and the Doctor and the TARDIS team rush downstairs and out the front door. On the lawn outside they see a Roundhead soldier with his severed head lying a foot away and his body torn.
The Doctor: How did this happen?
Lizzie the Maid *in tears* I don't know sir. I just heard something and looked out of the door and saw this. Oh tis unholy!
The Master: Oh its nothing to worry about. I expect he was in a fight with one of my cavalier guards.
Rory: In a fight? His head's been hacked off and his body's covered in claw marks.
The Master: This is the 16th century. Fighting is proper fighting in these days.
The Doctor:Nonsense. These wounds are clearly the work of some large creature. There is something very wrong here

OK here is the next part of this episode:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 3
After a cold, stormy night the Doctor stumbled downstairs to the dining room rubbing his eyes. The cook was serving breakfast to the Master, Amy, Rory and Nick.
The Doctor:*sitting down* I'm shattered. I had one of those nights where I just couldn't sleep. That thunderstorm didn't help.
Amy: Same here. The sheets were damp and stank of mould.
Rory: You're just too fussy.
The Cook: Now would you all be wantin' some of me sausages? An fresh mushrooms.
Rory: Sounds good. Just spare us the pies.
Cook: Ere what 'ave you against my pies? You be gettin' them later for lunch. They be fit for King Charles himself, bless his royal heart.
The Doctor yawned.
Doctor: I'm so bored. I wish I'd won the lottery on Saturday. I'd now be setting myself up with a massive country house just like the Master here.
The Master: Oh come now Doctor, you'd be bored stiff settling down. You'd miss all the adventures in the TARDIS.
Tyrell arrives with the Master's mail.
Tyrell: An important letter for you Sir.
The letter is marked with the King's red wax seal. The Master opens it and reads. He looks up concerned.
The Master: My friends there is no time to lose. The King is on the run from the Roundheads and he's on his way here.
Rory: Tell him to wait till after beakfast. I'm hungry. My guts are rumbling.
The Master: My dear boy you must enjoy your breakfast but don't eat too much. Later we will banquet with the King. *to the cook* Cook prepare a venison roast with all the trimmings. And bake another batch of your pies for the King's soldiers. There's a dead fox in the back shed you can bung in them if you can't catch enough wild birds.
Nick: Excuse me for being inquisitive Sir but isn't it dangerous for the King to come here when the Roundheads are so close and are possibly plotting some kind of attack on the house?
The Master: Don't worry dear boy. The Roundheads won't be any trouble.
Later after breakfast Nick takes the Doctor to one side
Nick: Doctor it seems suspicious to me that the Master is so overly confident about the Roundheads being no trouble.
The Doctor: Good man! I was thinking the same. You and Amy go a scout around the house while Rory and I keep the Master distracted.
The Doctor challenges the Master to a game of chess while Nick and Amy slip away.
Amy: You know Nick, when this is all over I'm thinking of leaving Rory.
Nick: Why is that?
Amy: He's changed. He doesn't pay any attention to me anymore. And he's rude all the time.
Nick: I'm very sorry to hear that Amy.
Amy: Is that all you've got to say? I thought you'd like be pleased. It means that you and I could get together.
Nick: I don't think that would be a good idea. Can we focus on searching the house?
They look into several downstairs rooms, Amy slamming the doors in frustrated anger. Eventually they come to a large oak door at the bottom of some stairs.
Amy: This must be the cellar. Open the door Prick..... ooops sorry Nick
Nick opens the door and a foul smell hits them. They are shocked to see a huge mound of rotting corpses.........

OK folks, here is the much anticipated continuation of this story:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 4
Nick and Amy rush back to the drawing room where the Doctor is scrutinising the chessboard, deep in thought.
Amy:Doctor, the Master is hiding a huge mound of rotting corpses in the cellar.
The Doctor:Do you mind Amy. The game is at a crucial stage and I am trying to think.
The Doctor moves one of his bishops and takes the Master's Queen.
The Doctor:*clapping hands* Checkmate!!
The Master:Well done Doctor. I can see that I need to practice my technique more here. However I hope that you will allow me to win back my honour via a round of fencing later.
The Doctor:Certainly. Now Amy, what were you saying?
Amy:There is a massive pile of mutilated corpses in the cellar.
The Master:Merely the result of local civil war skirmishes. I asked Tyrell to store them down there as they were strewn around the estate. I'm sure that the authorities will come for them at some point.
Nick:Excuse me sir but I'm not entirely convinced by that. The bodies were horribly mutilated and had bite marks as if some animal had been at them.
The Master:Local foxes dear boy.
Later the Doctor, Nick, Rory and Amy are discussing recent events in the Doctor's room.
The Doctor:I agree with Nick that something is seriously amiss here. While we were playing chess I happened to look out of the window and see a group of cavaliers walking into that large extension building at the side of the house. The incongruous one.
Rory:Why is it incongruous?
The Doctor:My dear boy, it is hardly usual that a building in the 1640s has been built in a nineteenth century neo-gothic style. The Master has clearly had it built recently for some purpose or other and has used a style of architecture that he likes, being flexible with the period.
Nick:Did you ask him about it?
The Doctor: He claimed that it was a stables. Highly unlikely.
As he speaks, Tyrell arrives.
Tyrell: *to the Doctor* You be wanted downstairs for the fencing match.
Tyrell departs.
The Cook arrives.
Cook: I thought you all could do with one of me pies. These be meat an' turnip.
Rory:What kind of meat? Blackbird again?
Cook Oh no Sir. These be pork. Tyrell fetched me some joints up from the cellar ,true as God's me judge. He says he killed a pig down there yesterday.
Rory:I bet he's lying to you. Theres a load of dead bodies in the cellar and he's probably given you human flesh.
The cook starts to fret and panic and drops the pies.
Cook: Oh me pies! How could you say such a devilish thing?
Amy:Its because Rory is an inconsiderate twonk madam.
Rory:Shut it Amy. You know I'm right.
The Doctor:I'm sorry madam. Rory is mistaken. Please accept our apologies.
The cook bustles off.
Cook:.... I ain't ever 'eard anything like it.... may the Lord help us all....
The Doctor:That was foolish Rory. It will not help our situation to frighten the servants. Anyway you lot can go and investigate that extension building while I engage the Master's attention with the fencing match.
Amy, Rory and Nick go outside and creep around to the door of the extension. Rory tries the door.
Rory: Its locked. I'm going round the back to see if there is another entrance.
He leaves and Amy and Nick sit in the grass talking.
Nick:I'm sorry if I upset you earlier Amy.
Amy:Don't flatter yourself.
Nick:I do hope that you and Rory can turn your relationship around.
Amy:I don't get you at all. Do you have a girlfriend or asomething?
Nick:*turning away sadly* No. There was someone in my life.... however that person died...
Rory returns.
Rory:There's a side door. We can get in.
They run round to the side and push the door open. In front of them are three men holding modern handguns.
Man: Move and you are dead.............

OK folks, here is part 5 of this Doctor Who classic:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 5
Meanwhile, the Doctor and the Master are enjoying their fencing bout.
The Master:*fencing swords swishing* THis is great isn't it Doctor. The two of us enjoying a traditional round of fencing in an English country house.
The Doctor:Yes but you can understand my suspicions surely. Last time I tried to bond with you your response was to age me hundreds of years while dancing to the Scissor Sisters.
The Master:Oh come now Doctor. I was in my post-regeneration phase and not myself.
The Doctor:I'm finding it hard to believe that you could be content just retireing like this in this time period. It hardly equates with your massive ego.
The Master:My dear Doctor I have gotten that out of my system. Before coming here I went to 1096 and joined the first crusade. I stayed until 1099 helping to liberate Jerusalem from the islamists. Then I visited 1415 and helped Henry V to victory at Agincourt. I think I've earned a rest don't you? I like this time period. The country houses are better than in the middle ages and yet England has not yet been ruined by mass immigration, falling educational standards and industrialisation.
The Doctor:Fair points.
The Doctor manages to wrong foot the Master and wins the bout by putting his sword against the Master's throat.
The Doctor:*grinning* I win by jove!
The Master:Come then Doctor: let me show you my porcelain collection.
Meanwhile Amy, Nick and Rory are led to an old barn by the two men. Inside they are shocked to see a modern futuristic lab.
1st Man:You three are now a real problem. We will ask the Professor what to do with you.
An elderly man in a white coat approaches. He speaks with a gentleman's accent.
The Professor:Kindly furnish one with an explanation. Who are these people?
1st Man:We found 'em snooping around outside. We didn't know what to do wiv 'em.
The Professor:Well you should not have brought them here you fool. One now has a massive problem.
Amy: Er excuse me but we are here. How about giving us an explanation?
The ProfessorRude women should be seen and not heard.
Rory:*whispering* Quite right.
Nick:Excuse me Sir. Would you mind just please telling us where we are?
The Professor:Thats better. You are clearly a well brought up boy. This is a research lab. I am Sir Reginald Asperth. We are researching cross DNA entaprelation. The Master has been an invaluable help.
Rory: What the hell is cross DNA entraprelation?
The Professor:One will show you.
The Progessor points a handset device at the 1st armed man. He presses a button and the man transforms. His features blur and change into those of a clawed, reptilian creature..............

OK folks: the plot thickens:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 6
The Professor presses another button on the handset and the man gradually returns to normal.
Amy: Urggh that was gross. How the hell did you do that? Alien technology?
The Professor: Of course. The entraprelation process requires an Entraprelator.
Rory: I extrapolate from this that the Entraprelator encapsulates an exasperating range of features with which to emasculate and transform that man.
Amy: *kicks Rory hard on the shin* Stop showing off.
Rory: Ow that hurt.
Nick: Professor I'm curious as to why the Master should bring you here to this time and place in order to conduct your experiments.
The Professor: There are no Torchwood, UNIT or Operation Delta type organisations here. No one to recognise or discover the use of alien technology in experiments and to try and stop it. No one until you arrived anyway.
Amy: Well I find your experiments disgusting. Its like 'The Island of Doctor Moreau'. Why the hell would you want to create people who can turn into reptilian creatures?
The Professor: My dear I have only one concern: the well being of humanity. At the moment the experiments are in their most embryonic stages. The ultimate aim is not to create monsters but to augment people with certain features to make them stronger, healthier, faster..... Just think of it: human beings with the lifespan of oak trees, the speed of a cheetah, the strength of a grizzly bear, the power of a stallion.....
Rory: Sounds a bit Nazi to me. Eugenics and the like.
The Professor: A very narrow minded little opinion. My research will help humanity leap to the next stage of evolution. It is not about creating some kind of aryan race or so forth. The Master intends to assist me in perfecting this process and then returning me to 2012 where I can offer my technology to the world.
Meanwhile the Master is showing the Doctor his French porcelains.
The Master:.... and this piece came from the personal collection of Louis XIV. He gave it to me after I gave him some design ideas for the layout of the gardens at Versailles.
The Doctor: It is quite exquisite. I'm impressed. What about that delightful depiction of the greek god Apollo?
The Master: Oh that was given to me by William Beckford when I visited Fonthill Abbey.
The Doctor: Well I'm impressed. This is the finest collection of French and Italian porcelains that I have ever seen.
The Master:You see Doctor, I have learned that there is far more to life than the pursuit of power. I've discovered how to control my ego and I no longer hear the sound of drumming. I'm happy to just maintain this house, collect my porcelains and other art and live comfortably in retirement. Any further journeys I make will be purely to assist humanity and prevent conflicts and strife.
Back in the lab, the Professor ushers over the guards.
The Professor: *to the guards* Please take these people and confine them in the chemicals cupboard until I can ask the Master to return them safely to their own time. *To Amy, Nick & Rory* Don't worry you won't be harmed.
Nick: Sir, are you sure that you can fully trust the Master?
The Professor:*stroking Nick's face and chin* My dear boy you have my absolute word that you will be safe. The Master is a wonderful person whose only concern is for the good of humanity.
Amy: You naive old fruit, do you honestly believe that? He's an absolute nutter who craves domination over the universe. The Doctor told me.
The Professor:You are clearly an ignorant and foolish girl. You are also wrong.
The guards lead them out of the lab and down a long corridor then down some stairs to the chemicals store room. However when they get there, they raise their weapons:
Guard: Ha ha! As if we are just going to lock you up. You will now be shot. Prepare to die............
.............. to be ciontinued.

OK people: the drama intensifies:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 7
The guards lift up their guns and prepare to fire. Nick desperately grabs hold of a bottle of what looks like water, pulls the cork out and flings it in the faces of the guards. They scream and drop their guns:
Amy: Well played Nick. Look at them, it must have been acid. Lets get out of here fast.
The guards writhe in agony as the acid sizzles through their eyeballs.
Nick:Oh Christ no. I thought it was water or something. We need to help them.
Rory:*grabs Nick's arm* Don't be such a wuss. We're getting out of here.
They run back through the lab, Rory pulling Nick along, Amy pushing some equipment onto the Professor causing him to fall over. They exit the lab and run towards the house.
Nick:What have I done? Those poor guys.
Amy:Oh just ¤¤¤¤ing deal with it.
Rory:Yeah get over it.
They rush into the house and interrupt the Doctor and the Master who are still examining the porcelain collection.
Amy:Doctor, the Master has brought some mad professor here who is conducting experiments that turn men into animals.
Rory:Huge reptile things.
The Doctor:*to the Master* Is this true?
The Master:Er... yes but its all in a good cause. Its about helping humanity to find a cure for serious diseases.
The Doctor:You bounder! I'm not convinced by that explanation at all. What are you really up to? I suspect we have found out how those Roundheads really died.
The Master pulls a gun on the Doctor.
The Master:Ha Ha! So you've found me out. Well hard cheese because I'm going to have you all shot. However first I will verbally articulate an explanation. I did travel around a bit helping the crusaders and so forth. However it was boring. All I was doing was helping History to progress along its current time path. I wasn't really changing anything. Now I am. I want the cavaliers to win the English Civil War. Just for the fun of seeing how much it changes the future.
The Doctor:I might have known. Its the Meddling Monk all over again. You know that its dangerous and illegal to do this.
The Master:Rubbish Doctor. There is no one to enforce such rules. Fun is fun and this is just that.
Amy:You can't just have fun playing with humanity's future.
The Master:My dear I can think of a couple of features of you that I wouldn't mind playing with if you catch my drift *stares at Amy's bust*.
Rory:Hey stop grooming my wife, you old lech.
Amy:At least someone still notices me Rory.
Rory:I still notice you. Its just your constant whingeing that I'm fed up with.
The Master:Enough of this. Prepare to die................

Ok folks, here is the final part of this canon Doctor Who episode:
"DEVIANT SEED" Part 8
Nick instinctively grabs one of the Master's porcelains:
Nick:Please put the gun down Sir or I will smash this statue.
The Master:No. Put that down now, its a priceless Louis XIV statuette.
The Doctor:Then I suggest that you do as Nick suggests.
The Master:You are bluffing I think.
Amy suddenly lashes out and knock's the Master's statue of Apollo off its pedestal before stamping on it, smashing its head.
Amy:Who's bluffing now!
The Master:You vile minx, have you any idea how valuable that was? You people are barbarians.
Nick:I really don't want to smash any of your collection so would you please put the gun down.
The Master throws the gun aside.
The Master:Damn! You have ruined everything. I'll get you for this Doctor. I had a good thing going here, I just wanted a bit of fun.
The Doctor:Yes by changing history. Unacceptable behaviour end of.
Later the Doctor, Amy, Rory and Nick are discussing recent events in the TARDIS.
Rory:Well thats the Professor returned to 2012. I'm not convinced that he didn't know the Master's real plans though.
The Doctor:Oh I think he was as taken in by the Master as I was. Still Torchwood will keep an eye on him just in case.
Nick was sat in the corner looking down.
Nick:Are you sure you can't do anything for those two guys? I'm mortified that I've caused them to lose their sight.
Amy:Oh for pity's sake stop whining about that. They got what they deserved.
The Doctor:Do not worry Nick. We're going back for them and I'll drop them off on Herstan 3, the finest hospital planet in the galaxy. They'll restore their sight in no time.
Amy:What about the Master?
The Doctor:We will leave him where he is. I think he's learned his lesson, for now anyway. We can always return and take a baseball bat to his porcelains if he steps out of line.
They all laugh.
THE END

Which bits are canon again?
Where exactly do the events of this story fit into the exchange
RORY: Amy, you kicked me out.
AMY: You want kids. You have always wanted kids. Ever since you were a kid. And I can't have them.
RORY: I know.
AMY: Whatever they did to me at Demons Run, I can't ever give you children. I didn't kick you out. I gave you up.
RORY: Amy, I don't
AMY: Don't you dare talk to me about waiting outside a box, because that is nothing, Rory, nothing, compared to giving you up.
