From Mind of Evil when you see The Master's worst fear is The Doctor laughing at him, to the Big Finish audio where he throws away his chance at a normal life to save someone he's in love with but can never have, you realize that all the schemes and mass murder attempts are just cries for attention froma deranged stalker. Love the choice of song on this one.
Nobody who will EVER play the Master will do it as accurately and as perfect as Delgado. The Master was written for Delgado. Anthony was close but nobody will ever match Roger Delgado.
I'm very pleased to see this video has passed the quarter of a million views landmark. It makes me rather proud to know so many have stopped by to view the work and I hope you've all enjoyed it :) Thanks.
I know what you mean about making you cry, Babelcolour is like a genius who knows how to creat such an atmosphere and such emotion by using such clips to the music. Brought a tear to my eye also as I look at the great performnaces of Roger Delgado, Anthony Ainley and the others, to hear their voice and presence over great music, and I'm a 45 year old man.
Michael Kean That's a very good question indeed, and I would agree with you more if the master was a real person, then it would be different, it would be like crying for Hitler after what he did to the Jews, but the Master is fiction, portrayed but such great actors like Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley, and the way Babelcolour put this together with the music invokes the emotion! I hope that answers your question.
Delgado will ALWAYS be the Master. Unlike the Doctor, where each succeeding Doctor has stood on his own, each succeeding Master has had to stand in Delgado's shadow. Ainley was good in his own way, but perhaps the showrunners pushed him too much into Delgado's mold. And poor Eric Roberts. Was as perfect for the role as any actor could be. Almost seemed tailor made for the part. And then had one of the worst scripts the series has ever produced. What greatness might have been...
I'm also extremely fond of that version of the Master, for exactly that reason...the desperation, driven to stay alive by sheer will. "Only hate keeps me alive...why else should I endure this pain?" Brilliant! I can't pick a favourite but I love the Pratt version.
anthony ainley imo was the best master and he was around till near the very end... more or less. its a shame ainley died before the 1996 tv movie as it was meant to be his master that the daleks ext executed right at the begining. it was ainley's master in the deathzone in the 5 drsp... RIP ANTHONEY AINLEY you may be gone but you will never be forgotten.
This video was completed and uploaded to RU-vid before 'Last Of The Time Lords' was televised - so there was no way whatsoever that it could have ended with the Master's death!
The darkest part of me completely loves him as a character. I just knew he was going to return. I remember posting a comment on here shortly after the End of Time part 2 was aired which was the top comment saying that it wasn't possible for the Master to have gone forever. Now Gallifrey has returned which is the place we last saw the Master disappear to. In my mind it wasn't a belief it was a fact. The Master is returning!
Geoffrey Beavers was the husband of the late Caroline John! That said there was only one person that played the Master without trying to hard or being Mr shouty man and that was the late great Rodger Delgado the Master of all Masters the only villain who was one of the little group known as the UNIT family
God, that was excellent. The background music, I do believe, was wonderfully chosen, the transitions smooth and interesting, and the clips timed well with the music. I'm not an experienced vidder, granted, but I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making this and sharing it!
A video tribute to the Doctor's nemesis throughout the ages is great. I like that you have used all the masters, even both actors playing the decaying master. Wonderful
Super! This just has to be my favourite of all your vids and they are all 5 star. No, really. There's something about the Master and this music that really works! Keep up the good work.
This is a FANTASTIC Video Tribute to the Master! I always wondered why he was a rotten guy and the new series explained it nicely. He'll be back for 2009 and I can't wait to hear what he'll say to the Doctor when they meet. "Oh my dear Doctor you HAVE been nieve!" But his "Childish desire to gloat" as the Doctor says will be his defeat again. Merry Christmas!
Well done, that tuber! thanks for this and don't forget the scene whereby his ring is reclaimed from his pyre. the show ain't over yet. when asked 'whose hand picked up the ring rtd replied 'the hand of the rani'
"I... AM... THE MASTER!"*evil tone* *pushes cable forward and hits camera *normal voice* "oh, im so sorry" it's a blooper from when the master kills chantho lol.
+BabelColour I was wondering, if you could do a version of this with more action. There is another Song I heard that fits the master as well. Sabaton Carolus Rex.
