Doctor Who | The Master | Anthony Ainley 

People forget Anthony Ainley played the Master the longest

Would have loved to have met him

Eric Roberts was terrible

@Marvin Groß There was no menace to him when the master was a monster be it a burned zombie that could morpth into people a cheetah man who can teleport or a blue lightning shooting cannibal at least menace surrounded him but the green eyed spitter master had 0 menace

The latest master is awful

@@liammcdougall7483 Eric Robert’s master is still ok to me, but not number 1

@@cguy4131 Dhawan did fine wdym

@@MichaelM28 of course I have.

Mine too

@@MichaelM28 Grow up.

The original master was the best version of master.

He was also magnificent in destiny of the doctor

@@jaymorrison4886 That was easily his swansong. He combined all of the camp from his earlier performances with the menace he brought in Survival. That game was a testament to how good this man was in this role.

Cheers mate, been a while since I tweaked some effects, forgot how fun they are to do

what about the 2nd, he was there

Crimson Dynamo Jon Culshaw would be up for it

René Moncayo which Master could he pull off well

Crimson Dynamo we recently got the Day of the Master two parter in Ravenous 4 and we’ll be getting a 50th anniversary release for the Master next year

PC Andy Infinite it’s a Master Renaissance

Join the club as far as not standing Simm Goes. Though I do think Dhawan and Roberts remarkably managed to be worse. With Simm I just want the Brigadier to show up and punch him like he did Ainley. I was relieved when we got Missy. Although something has to be said for Jacobi who scared the heck out of me and was a better Master than Simm, Roberts, or Dhawan in five minutes then they were over the course of multiple episodes. I hadn't found a Master that threatening since Delgado. As for Ainley. In my list he falls in fourth place right below Jacobi (my third favourite only beaten out by Missy and Delgado). However, I will not deny that he was good in the role he at least had some level of charisma and threat. My main problem was that he was almost always written as a pantomime villain with little to no character development (Not a fault on the part of Ainley who admitted this himself) I rarely felt that he and the Doctor had once been friends and saw almost no signs of that friendship even slightly being there the way it was with Delgado and Pertwee. And it's that remaining friendship (which I saw in Missy/Capaldi) that I feel sets the Master apart. To be clear I don't think he was a bad Master I liked his scene where he said (A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about) But he didn't feel quite as consistently threatening as Jacobi, Gomez, and Delgado.

Also grew up with Simm, found him actually good, but when I started watching Classic Who, I began to slowly dislike him more and more. I think Missy is the best incarnation of New Who. Delgado is still my favourite Master.

@@madeleine5561 Dhawan's pretty good in his own way, I personally just couldn't warm up to him because he erased Gomez's character arc, and Roberts is actually quite good on Big Finish. Seriously, some of his performances on audio are just terrifying. He's pretty much the Master's answer to Colin Baker.

@@yehiahuzayyin7972 yeah the eraser of Missy was what really pissed me off about him otherwise I just would have been moderately annoyed on the same Level I was with simm. Also since posting the comment I've listened to roberts on audio and while I still think his movie performance is awful his audio work is quite good and sinister

@Madeleine Honestly, Simm was the best possible Master to go up against Tennant. He shares Tennant's energy, humor, and love of life with none of his kindness or redeeming qualities. He's a dark parody of his Doctor, just like Delgado was for Pertwee, and Ainley was for Davison, Baker, and McCoy. The issue is that Tennant is at his most reserved and stoic in the Master's episodes, so his Doctor Falls portrayal would've worked better, he's still camp and silly, but much more composed, but Davies pushed for the Series 3 portrayal. And Dhawan showcases an aspect of the Master that most people overlook: his self-hatred. This incarnation is regretful and even suicidal. This was very interesting... until it was shown to be over something so extremely petty. I've always chalked up Chibnall's era as being a valiant effort by a man who clearly loved the show. It was just poorly executed. But he does have his gems. Villa Diodati, the Dalek episodes, and Power of the Doctor come to mind. And I honestly find Jodie's performance to be pretty good for what she's been given. Just my take, at any rate. Capaldi's era will always be the high point of Doctor Who for me, even after experiencing Tom Baker.

It will just come down to when I find the right track to inspire me. A Daleks update is most definitely on the list

which missy/master tribute should i watch?

It's narrowly escaping the big bang

@@tardiselliottrailers ohh. Thank you. this video is a masterpiece.

you and me both. It's rather difficult to make ones for the others as they have fairly short appearances.

TARDISELLIOT TRAILERS guess some of them would have to be partially non-visual due to their heavier Big Finish involvement

Just look at Sacha Dhawan and Eric Roberts , that's what you call over the top to the point of looking like some deranged lunatic

Spoiler Alert" . . . . . . . . . . In dust breeding (big finish) one of his plans backfires burning out his tremas form and he reverts back to the corpse Master. He then goes on continuing to steal bodies but always reverting back to that form before his eventual death prior to the Timelords resurrecting him for the Time War

IamPumma most definitely - just need to right the right music first

TARDISELLIOT TRAILERS YAY!!!!!! I’ll be watching out for it!!! Your John Simm one is amazing and all your other videos are just absolutely brilliant!!! Keep up the spectacular work
