My daughter is extremely obsessed with kraftwerk!! And she Just Loves Karl bartos! She is 13 years old now and has been listening to kraftwerk since she was 1 and a half❤
I really like his words on the first Doctor actually, he speaks with a bit of reverence while also being familiar enough to make light of it. It’s weird to think about but that’s the one that the master probably knows best, after all, it wasn’t until his original last incarnation that he stumbled on his old friend again who was only on his third life. The first doctor must be such a memory to the master now
Gary is such an inadvertently inspirational person, the way he pours his heart into both his work and his hobbies is admirable. He is funny, intelligent, pleasant, creative and last but certainly not least, he is so humble. Gary will always be an inspiration to me.
I always tend to think of The Master in terms of the Doctor. Delgado was so clearly Pertwee's villain, Ainley was Davison's, Simm was Tennant's, Missy was Capaldi's. They all were, well, masterly. I think Ainley built very well onto Delgado's legacy, adding more humor. Simm always seemed like an escalation in violence, and Missy was all about being crazy - even to the point of genuinely (IMHO) looking or redemption.
Ainley is brilliant as the master, Delgardo defined the role but wasn’t as passionate about the role as his true predecessor, that isn’t an insult at Pratt and Beavers but I feel they took the Master as a role compared to Ainley who played the role with heart because he only wanted to play the master, his answering machine was literally “this is the master” and then laughter, he was able to fill that ambition as the man was wealthy enough to chose his roles rather than be chosen, and he chose the master and in a way the role chose him
Yeah, Beevers only really managed to grasp the Master as a character on Big Finish, but Ainley truly was the Master. Simm was good, but honestly the only one I'd personally rate higher was Michelle Gomez

Now some doctor who what-if stuff: William Hartnell lived to see the "Five doctors" 20th anniversary special. Medics pleaded him not to perform as his health was at an all-time low, and doing this could potentially destroy him. He didn't listen and accepted the BBC's offer to come back. Unlike Patrick Troughton (who at this point was going grey), rather than wearing a wig to cover his bold head(he'd been battling leukaemia so chemotherapy), Hartnell decided to stay bold so fans could see what he'd been through for this special. Sure enough, his health took a massive nosedive he was hospitalised just days afterwards. He died in his sleep from a stroke on March 28th 1984 at the age of 76, eerily enough just 2 days before Peter Davidson ended his run. (1908-1984) Patrick Troughton lived long enough to join his fellow doctors on the "Dimensions in time" EastEnders crossover. While at the American convention in 1987, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room immediately after ordering room service. Just in time for the hotel employee to find him silently screaming on the floor. He had to perform lifesaving and told a passerby to call 911 and that Patrick Troughton was having a heart attack. Paramedics arrived within the hour and wasted no time to resuscitate Troughton, while thousands of whovians waited anxiously outside for any signs of life. There Troughton appeared out the entrance in a wheelchair with a breathing mask and a blanket. And suddenly thousands of voices cheered and applauded in relief. He was flown back to England the following day and reluctantly agreed to retire and focus on recovering. But then 6 years later Troughton made a surprise appearance in the "Dimensions in time" charity crossover with EastEnders. He appears in the beginning making an urgent distress signal to the fourth doctor telling him that the rani have invaded the doctors timeline and he needs help, before getting cut off. Then he appears again at the end to talks to the seventh doctor through transmission. they argue a little then second congratulates and thanks seventh and is about to bring out his flute, but seventh cuts him off before he can play. This special marked his last ever work before his death and his only work after coming out of retirement. He died on February 17th 1994 at the age of 73 after falling down the stairs. By the time his postman found him, he was already dead. The coroner gave the verdict that he had a cardiac arrest and broke his neck and ribs on the way down and also suffered from kidney failure. His death was announced later that day. (1920-1994) Jon Pertwee lets just say he lives to see a lot. "Destiny of the doctors" video game, "Scream of the Shalka" miniseries and to see how the 2005 relaunch reintroduced Doctor Who to modern generations. He appeared voicing the Third doctor alongside his other fellow doctors in the 1997 PC game "Destiny of the doctors". After this he decided to go into semi-retirement keeping close contact with Doctor who and Worzel Gummidge fans and making occasional TV interviews. In 2003 he made a cameo voice appearance in the flash animated "Scream of the Shalka" made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr who. Also in 2003 he began making voice-over appearances in a number of Big Finish audioplays up until his death. In 2006 his incarnation of Worzel Gummidge made a comeback in the form of "Worzel Gummidge & friends" airing on CBeebies for 3 seasons and 28 episodes. In 2007, when Noel Clarke was taken ill, Jon was asked to appear on the Dr who edition of Weakest Link. He agreed. He made it up to round 4 before getting voted off tactically. That same year he became the only former doctor to date to receive a knighthood for his services to television, becoming Sir John Devon Roland Pertwee. In 2009, to celebrate his 90th birthday, he made a guest appearance on "The One Show", where he talked about how he got the part of Third Doctor and answered some of the fans most biggest questions. His health wouldn't start to decline until mid-2011 when he contracted Hepatitis C. Its believed he accidentally contracted it during a blood test, and a needle which had not been properly cleaned. Fans from across the globe sent their condolences and best wishes to him, to the point that he made a facebook post where he read out his favourites. When Dr Who's 50th anniversary celebration came around, the BBC asked Jon if he wanted to be involved, particularly in the episode "The day of the doctor". He agreed, but his wife explained that whatever involvement he did have would be very limited due to his ill-fading health. To get around this, the BBC and Jon reached an agreement to record his lines in his home. Christopher Eccleston was set to reprise his role as the Ninth doctor but turned it down. In his place Jon would appear as the Third doctor. His scenes were filmed between 2nd and 10th of April. His first scene was reminiscent to that of William Hartnells in "The three doctors", where 11th, 10th and War doctor are trying to land the TARDIS in the tower of London but can't. Then they get a transmission from 3rd doctor who tells them to stop arguing and find a way to cancel the detention. This scene was filmed while he was in a wheelchair, in front of a green-screen of his TARDIS console. Another scene was near the end of the episode when 11th is talking with the curator, where it cuts to 10th and 3rd are having a similar simultaneous conversation revealing the other two to be trapped in a paradox. They even make reference to the upcoming 12th doctor and Steve Moffat. Although it was the voice and face of Jon Pertwee, it was actually his son Sean who provided the body of 3rd doctor with Jons face plastered over via a wig, motion capture and deep-fake technology. "The day of the doctor" would prove to be Jons last ever acting work. On April 24th 2013 while production of the episode was still underway, the BBC received the news that he had passed away that afternoon. It was believed that he was taking a nap and suffered from heart failure and died peacefully in his sleep. He was at the ripe age 93 years old. His death was announced the following day and it was told that The 50th anniversary episode would be his last ever appearance. "Day of the doctor" was dedicated to his memory. (1919-2013)
I think its a misunderstanding caused by the master, the doctor isn't the timeless, he's the undercover timelord spy tasked with guarding the Timeless. I think humanity is the timeless. Thats my head canon and I'm sticking with it. And i just thought maybe the doctor fell in love with the timeless when she grew up married and had a family, so humans are the doctors desenendants which is why he cares for us like we are his grandchildren and he our grandfather.
Hopefully a better writer will make it something like where the Master and Rani set this up after they escaped the Time Wars which involved the watches and even memory suppression of the plan until the time was right to make the Doctor question his/her past so leave leave him/her vulnerable to be taken down, since the two probably expected the Doctor to survive. The alternative Doctor could be the Rani who believed she was the Doctor at the time and being a genius at genetics and biology would allow her to fool the 13th Doctor's bio-scan, and of course make her Tardis look like a police box. And of course there's the framing her, which makes more sense, since you would think the 1st Doctor would be a fugitive from the law, instead of just running from his people. That it was all staged and people played their part, even ones who didn't know, and the Timeless Child was made up to mess with the Doctor to bring her to her weakest. The two things that made the Doctor interesting was what his/her real name was and why he/she left Gallifrey and for some reason had the Hand of Omega. The Timeless Child was nothing more then a cheap and lazy gimmick to over-glorify the hero. The War Doctor was the Doctor's secret shame for what he thought he did to save the rest of the universe and perhaps did something to hide that incarnation's existence so he wouldn't have to look at it and be reminded, so it didn't really trash continuity like Timeless Child. The 11th Doctor showed this was possible when he erased himself from the records of other people's computers, which was what freed River Song from prison, because you can't "murder" someone who technically doesn't exist.
The doctor is no longer a timelord The doctor is from a different dimension After every 12 regenerations the doctors mind is overwritten Classic who: am I a joke to you?
