Doctor Who | Master

[@TheConfessionDial]

We've had so many brilliant Masters over the years (both on TV and audio), but who is your favourite and why??

[@jellybabiesarecool4657]

Delgado or Jacobi. Both extremely sinister and with both of them we tend to see their side of the story more and how they go about their evil schemes. Both very cunning.

[@sebastien-loikntsangou-kan5264]

Either the War Master or Missy. Jacobi's Master just has a gentle yet threatening ferociousity that makes him such a compelling character. Gomez's Missy is playful and fun but in such a mischievous way.

[@redacted953]

Missy, she was threatening and unpredictable but near the end of her run she became more likely to do good, even if it was her idea of good

[@jessetorres8738]

With the exception of Paul McGann getting at least 1 television season as The Doctor, I feel that the biggest "what if" missed opportunity Doctor Who will ever have was Capaldi not getting a 4th season as The Doctor with Missy as his companion (along with Bill and Nardole). That to me would have been the ultimate TARDIS team as you would have the tragic hero (Capaldi knowing it's his final season), the romantic foil (Missy trying to be The Doctor's friend and good), the exposition/straight man (Bill), and the likable comic relief (Nardole). Oh, and while some people don't consider her a Companion, I do and feel she's in the Top 5 Modern Era Doctor Who Companions.

[@hothemeep1219]

@@jessetorres8738 your ideas are interesting, especially considering what came after the departure of Moffat......But I think throughout the history of the tv show, there was biggest missed opportunities like McCoy and Colin Baker not having at least two more seasons, or Ace not coming back in tsja in series 5 because of Sladen's death

[@alicec1533]

That Eccleston voice clip gave me chills.

[@Squicx]

Despite some of their flaws, I think the character that has never screwed up on TV, book and audio was The Master. Every single time they always get him right

[@Squicx]

@@MichaelM28 agreed. Although he's one of the only good things to come outta Chibnall apart from maybe the TARDIS, the intro, and graham.

[@sweetsky5634]

@@Squicx But Jodie plays well too ... she's really trying to do her best to keep the show going. The script destroys all interest, and sometimes the Doctor Who universe itself.

[@Facinliar]

Well... Simm is the only Master who was bad. Not because of the actor, because of the script. In Moffat era Simm was brilliant, but in RTD... The Drums in the Master head is not for him. It makes him crazy, but Master is not crazy. He is just a idiot, who want take over the universe, but not crazy. And this whole thing with drums in the Master head makes all of them crazy, but they don't. Drums in the Master head probably the only bad idea from RTD.

[@plantainsame2049]

He was once a mob boss. I don't know which version well actually do. It was a version of the thirteenth Master but that's like half of the masters through the body's natching But Apparently at some point he just spent some time in the mob That's my one of my 2 favorite facts. The other one is that the doctor is technically. Jack The ripper Please ask me about that one

@@plantainsame20499 months late, but I’m asking you abt that one!!

[@brianartillery]

I find it rather sad that the actor who played The Master as a child, William Hughes, is no longer with us. He took his own life, aged just 20. So very sad.

[@jessihansen1375]

100% Missy. She is the master of being the Master! Her entire body tells a story, especially her eyes.

[@db13724]

It's like a trailer for a Master lore movie... WE NEED MORE OF THIS lmao

[@erieperry8241]

Rodger Delgado's Master, he set the template. A gentleman villain. Also Derek Jacobis War Master, in my opinion the most dangerous Master. He was everything Delgado's Master was but dialed up to 11. And Missy, the Master that finally decided to change. To reunite and stand with their oldest friend.

[@adamfreddo5703]

Fantastic. Loved the "ahhhhh" to "ha ha ha" bit. Infectious to the point where I even started laughing. And that recontextualising of the Eccleston monologue at the end. *French kiss.

[@Poutrel]

Especially the last line while showing Missy, with resaturing colors. On point.

[@peterweeks2066]

I'm wondering in what context the 9th Doctor's words at the very end were originally set? I can't place it.

Asham Dhawan had chibnall though as the show runner.

[@Alia-bc3rc]

One of the most tragic thing is how The Master took Nyssa's father appearance. Making her not only lost her planet, but also having trouble mourning her late father.

[@jellybabiesarecool4657]

This is phenomenal. Every video you make is a masterpiece.

[@rudenotginger123]

Your uploads are such a treat. Especially because you include Classic Who. And the incorporation of that Eccleston line at the end..damn.

[@billwalker1345]

Make no mistake, The Master survived the events of Power of the Doctor, He will be back

[@barlazyjj7872]

Somehow...The Master always does...

[@Dray1]

Derek Jacobi. Never was a man more made for a role, such a shame his time as the War Master on TV wasn’t even that long.

[@adamfreddo5703]

Delgado is my favourite. But those war master big finish box sets. Some of the best chillingly evil monologues I've ever heard. Derek Jacobi is a god tier actor.

[@HelenWheelsUtah]

Another video masterpiece! I have only watched New Who so my favorite Master is probably Missy. She was so expressive, and excelled at being bad _and_ being good.

[@oliverstreet430]

Brilliant video my fave master gotta be Sacha at the moment he just excels in all the right areas and I can’t wait to see him again

[@tardiselliottrailers]

Forever my favourite villain. Great vid.

[@russelltietjen4407]

I wish we had masters renuin like in the day of the doctor all known regenerations of the doctor team up then we could have the day of the master when masters could team up.

[@andrewparkin4036]

Anthony Ainley was the Master for me, but I loved Missy and would love to see more of Derek Jacobi as the Master and the latest iteration is superb.how about for the next anniversary the BBC does a program featuring no Doctor until the very end like in the Sally Sparrow/Weeping Angels episode and we follow only the various incarnation of The Master?????

[@jessetorres8738]

[@jellybabiesarecool4657]

Nah the biggest missed opportunity was Delgado not dying in a car crash and being in Pertwee's regeneration story.

[@Pravuss]

Roger DeGado and Anthony Ainley are my favorites (honorable mention for Derek Jacobi), they were evil without being ridiculously unstable.

[@AnnaBellaChannel]

The MASTER is great when he becomes a women everyone supports it and yet when the Doctor does so it is not supported.

[@Scaroth1979]

Yay it’s been I while

Wish you had time to make more

Am i the only one who finds sacha to be the best master?

I want to see Gomez returns as the mistress if Capaldi never has the chance to return as the doctor,despite chibnall era being questionable and divisive i want dhawan (who was the best and only Master in chibnall) to become better in RTD2 era if he reappears too but before gomez in ncuti s third year

[@johnnyzin890]

Anthony ainley best master in my opinion.

[@JoshiVlogsOfficial]

I hate what they did with the Master in Season 11 and 12 :/ Just cancelled out everything they did with Missy.

[@YoungButRetro]

this master could be before missy though

[@eddiedemoura810]

I have this theory (my personal canon) that Missy was pregnant with the Doctor's child during Series 10. If you're a hardcore fan you'll know that the time lords can't reproduce naturally because of Pythia's curse, but since the Doctor isn't actually a time lord, Pythia's curse wouldn't apply to him/her. Missy thought being pregnant with the Doctor's child was a miracle, and that made her temporarily turn good. When Simm's Master shot her, he killed the child instead of killing her, so Missy regenerated and went to Gallifrey to find out how the Doctor could've gotten her pregnant, and when he found out that the Doctor wasn't really a time lord, Sacha's Master went crazy.

[@adamfreddo5703]

What's weird is that "it's as if I'm doing what I'm meant to be doing" scene felt like it was a direct answer to Missy.... But it's never followed up with at all. Incredibly disappointing in the long run.

[@linustwizell7913]

I always think of Missy as being a light mirror to the War Doctor. The incarnation who could do the things that the others couldn't but ultimately returned to their fundamental type in the fires of regeneration.

[@peterweeks2066]

@@eddiedemoura810 that's some serious thinking you've done! Great that you've included the Pythia.

[@highvoltage7797]

Delgado will always be the best Master, imo. Don’t get the Missy love tbh. She’s too random for the sake of random and her redemption is too quick. Great tribute though.
