Doctor Who | The Master | Ultimate Tribute (Delgado - Simm) 

From calculating man, to cold hearted timlord, to raging psychopath. The Master will always be the Doctor's greatest foe

One does not simply watch the Master and not fall in love with his wit, badassery, and all around insanity.

There are many Dalek and Cybermen, but there will only be one Master!

A perfect tribute to my absolute favourite Dr who character

I loved the Simm Master. At once you knew he was completely insane and, being a Time Lord, incredibly dangerous and unpredictable. We finally had a reason why the Master was so hell-bent on being evil. He got off on it, because he was… completely mad. Brilliant and mad. Tennant’'s Doctor still loved and respected him despite the Master's insanity - a beautiful moment in 'new' Who'. Up there with ‘Missy’ turning for the 12th Doctor and dying for his cause, all without the Doctor ever knowing it. I see shades of the Simm ‘Master’ in our new 'Master'. He really does not care whether he lives or dies. He even destroys the Time Lords making the ‘Time War’ redundant. Do you slot him in post-Eric Roberts and pre-Jacobi or did the marvellous 'Missy' manage to regenerate? I do love them all - to varying extents. In memory of two ‘Masters’ from classic ‘Who’ whom I know are dead - Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley.

SO HERE IT COMES THE SOUND OF DRUMS!

I want the next Master, whenever he may appear, to be Delgado style. I want a coolheaded seemingly reasonable man on the surface to hide the dark madness underneath.

I'd like to see an encounter between the master and Davros, maybe initially as collaborators, then as adversaries after they double-cross one another

yk I just noticed Matt Smith never met the master

I think if Roger Delgado, Peter Pratt and Antony Ainley were still alive today, and saw this video including the one involving Michelle Gomez, they would've loved it.

The Master,the only enemy of the Doctor who won.

I feel bad about the master the time lords screwed him up

I ALWAYS DRESS FOR THE OCCASION.

The master is back

They should give The Master a new Regeneration, It's a perfect Time.

I enjoyed this. Doctor Who has been my favorite TV show for thirty years.

I love the master as a character. I also think its a very precise role in talking about mental illness ( even though he's an almost immortal being|)

So many Ainley scenes... I love it! Ainley is my favorite incarnation! He's so suave and over dramatic it's awesome. His disguises are always over the top and his fake names are usually anagrams of his own names. Not to mention he was HELLA hot! Are you kidding, look at that! That fabulous beard, the slicked back hair, the magnificent velvet! Wait what was I talking about? Oh right, he just wants revenge and he'll do anything to get it. His life is the torment of the doctor and he will end anyone who crosses him or tries to take the doctor's life themselves. He even took over one of the doctors companions fathers to save himself! One of his best episodes, Survival (also the final episode of the old series) is just so good due to how it shows him resorting to the violent and primitive ways of the cheetah people to get what he wants and he nearly falls victim to the disease but holds it back due to will power. He's just fab and he knows. I love his version and will never stop loving it!

I love your masters updated ones but this my favorite cause of the ending…..”wonder what I be like….without you?”….

As a child of the Eighties, Anthony Ainley was the first version of the Master I saw. Which is why his Master will always be my favourite.😀

Andrew Scott for next master

Absolutely amazing. I love it.

Awesome compilation.

love the master, so happy john is returning

I have been waiting Doctor Who all my life I love classic and new who both, but I have to admit that for me Anthony Ainley is the master

I don't know how I feel... :'(

You know: this for me is the master, not that absolute mess called "missy" or "Oh". What you have to understand about the master is that he is basically time-lord Stalin. He is not some cahotic, derranged, wild mess who thinks evil is merely fun like hot the recent versions of him are like. He is not deluded the way Lumic is. He is many things: vain, mad, paranoid, ruthless, brilliant, selfish, proud, sadistic but most of all: he is a power maniac. Even without all those other characteristics, the master would never surrender control to the doctor out of senseless "friendship" like with Missy, or for some petulant game like "Oh". The master is first and foremost a control freak: "one must rule or serve that's a basic law of life". The drums driving him mad makes sense because if he is not master of his own mind then of course he would seek mastery over everything else except his mind to compensate. The sound of peoples' compliments and his own self applause for his mastery over something, drowns out the pain he feels from the drums. It's also important to note that he doesn't hate the doctor, he hates the notion of the doctor, or anyone for that matter, having mastery over him. Yes the master is symbolically a villanous version of the doctor and both of them acknowledge that they are both brilliant and they have a complicated, mutually toxic, rivalry-based relationship. But that is not what the master mainly is. The master is mainly, and this has been made obvious to us from the very first scene he is on, at the beginning of"Terror of the Autons", the first Dr who show he is in, a brilliant, merciless, commanding character who wants control. I loved his death in "the end of time part 2", and wish that if he ever came back it would be with the drums gone because the untempered schism was permanently sealed and he took the doctor up on his offer to"just see" the universe and be an even more brilliant hero time lord than the doctor as a way of relishing the mastery he has over himself and being not the monster he thinks the time lords made him out to be. It may seem on a spiritual level that the master's villainy was due to him hearing those drums, but ask yourself how sane you would be if you heard those drums for centuries at least. I don't think his death in the end of time part two was just a redemption, vengeance or suicide act, I think he sincerely believed he would be free of the drums because of it. The only times we are ever shown deep and sincere self-awareness from the master is when he references the drums. He confesses he is unsure of what he would be without them, but as he and the doctor were childhood friends and Professor Yana was a genius, kind man, it's implied that when the drums plagued him for the least amount of time in his life, he was a good man. So it's safe to assume he could actually become a good person without the drums. No doubt he'd be rough around the edges and the process wouldn't be smooth and without some missteps, but still it would be fun to watch. Moffat acted like the drums never existed and he and Chinball made the master out to be some derranged, paradoxical and utterly senseless lunatic who deeply cares more about entertainment than control. The master even at his most benevolent in his professor Yana form (yes I know his mind was addled at the time but it was still on some level him) he tightly gripped control to the point he was willing to die just to control the future of the human race. I love the master because he is by far the most complicated of the doctor's foes and in some ways the most tragic of his friends. He's not a joke for the writers to pull out of a hat or to sloppily exploit fan love of prior Dr who lore when they run out of decent original ideas. He is in a way the doctor's patient who is suffering insanity, just as the universe is his patient suffering the virus in battle armour that is the Daleks. The master's villany is meant to be taken seriously, every master after these ones however, I find far too not serious. Bloody hell I miss the days when villany was meant to be taken seriously in Dr Who. I will always appreciate this master and the sincere effort the writers put into his character. Villans can be entertaining but villany itself shouldn't be seen as entertaining and with this master that is done beautifully.

The Master was my first Doctor.

Awesome trailer, loved it and its craft.

This needs a missy update, :3

Has no one noticed that Jacobi wore a version of Hartnell's costume? That's a nice detail.

1st 2nd 9th 11th 13th (so far) all of them never encountered the master

He will always come back! The Doctor always knows this! The Master of all matter!

How about an updated version with Michelle Gomez?

The drums!!!

The Master

Nicely done.

Should also take a brief moment to mention The Rani as well, she would've been a great addition to the Doctor/Master slap fight. If the show went on for longer, she probably would've ended up with more than 2 stories, and we could've seen her truly shine.

Great video!

oh. my. god. falling skies theme. always makes me so sad. anyway very nice tribute !

I want Julian McMahon to take a crack at being the Master.

A few questions: How do you get such good videos from the DVDs and what program do you use to edit?

Wonderful ! Thank you :o)

The drums! The nether ending drums can't you here them?

Oh my Gallifrey...

They have the multiple doctor stories, why not do the same for the master?

This guy has had OVER 12 cycles and yet... But I DO like the latest Master the very best

WOW

I don’t know why “The Master”could not have had his own spin off series.Maybe he flys around in a porta potty ? An intergalactic shit disturber .

it's a shot in the dark being an ordinary guy i wish i could be the next master

I only just found your channel, but if you haven’t already, then you should do another one with Missy included!

in your next master tribute can you add the thunderbolt missile and sea devils love it how you reimagine it every time

I'd like to see a tribute like this that includes Edward Brayshaw, since I subscribe to the theory that the War Chief from "The War Games" was really the Master.

hey man loves the trailers you make could you redo the cybermen tribute with series12 now?

Either Christopher Lee or Hugh Laurie are my favorites to play the Master :D

I like to see either Steve John Shepard (played Michael Moon in Eastenders) or Callum Blue (played Zod in Smallville).

Including Missy I think John Simm's was the best I don't know which one I prefer though, the Resurrected Master or the Harold Saxon master.

Thank god i. Series 8 there will be a new master

Wait! If the master was killed by the daleks during his trial in the movie, then how did his remains turn into a water...silver snake? I've been wondering that for months now.

If u listen carfully to the lyrics of chasing the sun it has alot of references to the master

The Master always gets the wimpiest screams...

I allways wonder. ...Why Doctor never used same skills than Master did? He couldnt?

Great trailer! -Delgado will always be my favorite. He MADE the Master (and well, the cast from the early 70's just had fantastic chemistry). -Haven't seen much of Pratt's Master. -Ainley...he was good. Sadly they just never let him develop the character. They always tried to fit him into Delgado's mold. -Roberts...oh what might of have been! He was a perfect choice really. Could pull off the charm and the menace of the part equally well. Unfortunately he had a terrible written-by-committee script to work from. So for most of his time he had to play a Terminator knock off. Which is sad, because from seeing him play other baddies and from the brief glimpses you get toward the end...if he'd had a better script he would have been brilliant! -Jacobi...well, he's one of my favorite actors so I was sooo excited to find out he was the Master. That scene when he becomes his full self...sent chills down my spine. Honestly, I would have preferred if he'd stayed the Master longer. He was fantastic. (I'd also like to note that that wasn't his first time playing the Master. He did once before for the webcast "Scream of the Shalka".) -Simms...to be honest...I've never been fond of Simm's Master. He just wasn't menacing enough. Yes I know the things he did, but he just never FELT like the Master to me.

Simm ist the best Master ❤️

I know they cant do it in the show but they should have past incarnations of the Master meet and fight incarnations of The Doctor in novel or comic form

There is only the Master Race :)

i am only 16 so dont know any clasic who but why is the master so disformed in the clasic who ? in his 2nd and 3rd incarnation

Update with new master please :P

SWEET TRANSVESTITE! THE MASTER HAS REGENERATED AS A WOMAN!

3:16 , because that fall wasn't faked!

Check out the most up to date version at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F46tG7zQ1X0.html

3:23 isn't an opening for another regeneration, now is it?

Give us Charles Dance as the next master please

Hey there everyone i been a fan since i first watch doctor who on pbs back when i was a kid just question. How the hell does the master get around does he have a please forgive the spelling a tardis too. If so i like to see it.

when the updated version with sascha dawon coming?

Check my channel as there is an updated version!

where can i watch doctor who but with english subs!:D?!

I might have a update that You might want to hear I have been seeing if the master was in earlier past days with the doctor I would like to say just for a prediction the master could be in the middle of William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton and for a second thought the master could be in the middle of Jon Pertwee, Tom baker and Colin Baker as well this might be a hit for the masters incarnations and I hope this is it I hope you can find these incarnations

There's not a lot of Eric Roberts here...

Well, I don't watch the new, revived series, but I can see that The Master of today's show is very different from the one portrayed by the likes of Delgado, Pratt, Ainley, etc. It seems the producers reengineered him to be a bit of a * rip-off of The Joker* from Batman! And it's pathetic ! I don't know about the rest of you, but this doesn't even seem like the same character, to me, Even with his regenerations taken into account! I want the old Master back, in personality I mean, never mind in body

Except Morbius?

Which episode is that 00:21 ?

Why did we have ti turn him into a victim, why cannot ppl just be evil?

turkmusun

Why they turn Master into Missy, just why?!!! John Simm was the best master ever.

I don't hold with Missy, not because she is a woman - but because she is a crap character. Mind you, Jon Simm is almost as bad..
