Destiny Of The Doctors - The Master's Intro Link 

Love how he clearly respects the Third Doctor and don't even bother making a joke about him

Ainley is severely underrated as the master

"The blustering one in the stupid coat." Truer words have never been said. Poor Colin.

"I'm not a ham - ham can be cured." - Anthony Ainley

He said the COMPLETED incarnations of the Doctor. I like Delgado and Simm, but Anthony Ainley was THE Master.

" the bohemian...the wonderer, one so keen to abandon his roots that he abandoned his sense"

I wish Anthony Ainley was still alive....I'd love to have had him take on Tennant and Matt Smith's Doctor.

This is the class of actor we should have playing the master in the new series. Anthony Ainley was my favourite master. Wish he were still around today, and playing the master in the current series. Legend.

Anthony Ainley - my favorite version of the Master! Great job on that character. Suited him just perfectly!

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

Anthony Ainley, what a voice.

lol With closed captions : I shall systematicly eradicate all pastas!

Ainley is menacing ham incarnate. Just listen to that laugh at 2:32. Although Delgado is my favorite Master, Ainley is just pure awesome.

Probably the best brief descriptions of the first seven Doctors you're going to get, but maybe not as negative. Especially from the perspective of the Master.

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.

The master really does know the doctor better than anyone else does he?

This is probably his best Master performance, actually!

because it was meant to be released before the TV Movie, but due to the death of Jon Pertwee, it was delayed by a year.

Anthony was THE BEST Master! 😀👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Very good video. Nice to see him as the master again, he was my favorite in the part for the classic series. They're really going for the Master/Devil idea in this one though, he looks like he's in Hell surrounded my smoke and flames .

He got better as he got older.....

Delgado and Ainley are the best!

Not a Gallifrey Cube, that one holds more sides than your mind can comprehend.

I think it was a shame Anthony Ainley, never got to appear in Blakes Seven as a villain something he would have been good at.

Anthony Ainley was super as the master!

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

I wonder what nicknames he'd give it to Doctors 8-12 and the War Doctor?

Great archival piece of Whovian canon. Thanks for posting!

I still have this game. :)

@smileyartproductions It takes place before. If you see at the end, the Master is imprisoned. Then in the TV Movie, he is executed as a prisoner by the Daleks at the start :)

Brilliant haven't seen this in years.. 💖

the master kidnaps the doctor's seven incarnations--and that's how the game begins. Now it is up to you graak to rescue the doctors.

The cube at the end showing 7 doctors.... hold on a minute, doesn't a cube only have 6 sides?

This video is from disc 2 of "SURVIVAL." The Quicktime video from the game includes the DOCTOR WHO theme!

It's kind of interesting how he kinda respects the first three doctors but completely lays into 4, 5, 6, & 7

Back when games like this have live action cutscenes.

Put the captions on these are too funny

Is that Gallifreyan he's speaking? (1:08-1:12). I'm getting that impression.

If only Anthony was in the 1996 movie

@ReverendSyn Erm...if you read the description on the video, you'll see that this was recorded back in 1997. At that time there were only 7 Doctor's (the game didn't count the 8th Doctor 1996 TVM for some reason)

@slavemale2 Doesnt surprise me - from what I've heard his version of the Master was heavily influenced by the production team at the time. Ainley apparently wanted to play him very differently than he was allowed.

Siralos!! planet of pure mental energy - the kind of mental energy that only a Time Lord (aka. Gallifreya) can control and wheel. That outfit he is wearing! How very Time Lord of him. He may not be friendly with his native people or his native planet, but it seems he can never get away from his Time Lord-iness.

This is cute! Thanks for posting.

He's so lovely and charming xDD

damn, look at those graphics!

I Guess you could say he was a master at being the Master? xD

Once he was free of JNT . He made a great. Master.

Well he did say "seven complete", so maybe the 8th didn't count because it was still in progress?

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)

If only there was an option to work WITH the master.

@ReverendSyn plus, if you want to get technical, there are at least 13 Doctors, since a timelord has 12 regenerations. And frankly, there will probably be an exception to the limit for him.

@DoctorWhoFanactic I heard you the first time, and like I said, they are intended to be the same incarnation, whether they're played by different people or not. Why else do you think his face was obscured?

aww

@davidcrazyrides They do have the new 'Adventure Games' on the BBC web site

This is a Harem game! :D (The Master's Harem of his Doctors)

What language is he chanting in at the planet of pure psychic energy?

epic

@srvfan454 Actually, I see Simm's Master as a more total psychopath rather than a 'nitwit'

@LuminarNightblade I never said that Simm's Master had class and sophistication; I just said that he was a total lunatic

@Akaviran It's the TARDIS of cubes. It's not what it seems.

cause this was before the 8th doctor's movie it was a lead in to it

Ok, on the topic of Ainleys master being better then John Simms, its not really fair to compare them. Simm worked well in that he was a near direct opposite of Tennants version, which made the rivalry much more powerful. I'm not saying Simm is better then Ainley, just that he worked for Tennant, he wouldn't work for Matt Smiths version though. For Matt Smiths Doctor...we need someone like Ainleys Master. Problem is, finding a suitable actor.

I want to play

The English make the best villains....especially when theatrically trained. TV and Movies are so in need of believeable villains.

He said Seven Complete Doctors, Complete means regenerated, The Master had a diferent body with the Eight Doctor so this isn't that real really?

@MarcusSLazarus yeah I know that now

@MarcusSLazarus It was more of a comparison to Ainsley and Delgado, really.

(1:07) What the hell! Is THAT Gallifreyan he's speaking? Hummmm.

@smileyartproductions Probably because in the TVM the Master was played by Eric Roberts.

@DoctorWhoFanactic But his face is deliberately obscured. I'm pretty sure they were intended to be the same incarnation.

@legohoruswho Uh...how?

I wish they would make a new pc game for doctor who

a 7 sided cube?

Okay, but how the fuck did they fit 7 faces onto a cube?

Looks good, but I doubt it will work on modern computers

click 2:34

Of course not canon, but very enjoyable for fans and a great paycheck for "THE Master" actor haha.

this is also not the master from the movie

for some reason the master looks strange then the others

Seven? There are 11 Doctors.

Ah yes the game that explained the sum of the matrix

before they turned the good old master into a nitwit

He said the COMPLETED incarnations of the Doctor. I like Delgado and Simm, but Anthony Ainley was THE Master.

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
