The first 4 doctors were all brilliant in their own way and it went downhill after that. Each one of them brought a new quality to the role that also didn't crap on the others. Delgado MADE The Master and the only other person who did it any justice at all was Anthony Ainley. Anybody else in that role has been an insult to Delgado.
At last, somebody who thinks as I do! The first four Doctors were brilliant, and it was down hill after Baker. Delgado was the best Master ever, and Ainley was second best.
The special rapport between all the cast is so evident during this era. I've loved the show ever since but it has never recaptured that unique quality since. Long live King Jon!
For many years within fandom this scene was known as the portaloo TARDIS disguise, however many were confused as to why it had taken on this form whilst inside Axos.
in fact I suspect that this entire serial has been manufactured purely as an attempt to discredit the Master as a legitimate Anti-imperialist force. Despite his faults, he has always been a friend to the Clangers, and indeed, other non-human indigenous societies like the Earth Reptiles, who where despite the claims of the news media, only defending their bunkers from human imperialism, or the Daleks, who's attitudes to crime we have a lot to learn from: have you ever seen graffiti on Skaro: I think not. this is because it is a cohesive community, where any unruly youths are quite rightly taken round the back of the house away from the meddling human social workers, and exterminated. They then often exterminate the social workers as well.
@@mrsbluecactus183 Not always. Anthony Ainley was taller than Sylvester McCoy. If you are talking about Delgado, he never appeared alongside the other doctors but would have been taller than McCoy also.
Pertwee was 6'3" (190.5 cm). That's up where the air is thin all right. I met him briefly in the early 90's; I'm 6'1" and there aren't a whole lot of people that I have to look up at!
Watching this years later after having first seen it on TV, I am surprised at the elaborate set. Especially for a low budget BBC TV series in the early 70's.
Jordanisntheboss well he’s been having a hard time restoring it to working order, and he’s also wary for any other tricks and safeguards the timelords installed.
I think much as I liked ROger Delgado Master he was overused in season 8 and similarly the same thing happens again in science fiction in Blake's Seven with the arch-villain Servalan in season4 in the way she like the Delgado Master appeared too frequently and there were stories where neither Servalan and or the Master really needed to be there
