Yes I think there was a Pertwee Season in which the Master was involved in every single story. It certainly feels like it!
There was - and that was kind of the point.
As for Ainley - blame the directors not the actor, the poor guy kept doing understated performances only be told to retake with the hamminess cranked up to 11! FWIW I like the character and you can do interesting things with him (watch Survival again - he's been too long with the cat people and is vicously verging on feral) but he is always at his best when he is being Machevellian.
