Our Lord and Master (Tribute to the Master)

[GC1CEO]

Great illustration of how much a real bastard the Master really is, Delgado helped create the character to be Professor Moriarty cause previous "evil timelords" were 2D (The Warlord) or silly (The Meddling Monk). However Ainley made him downright insane, so instead of just conquering the universe he was gonna destroy it as proof of conquest. Eric Roberts, ok, I'll argue that it was part of The Master imo. John Simms, was closer to the Ainley bit but he needed the energy to match David Tennent.

Awesome video!

[AMJeanneDArc]

Most impressive! I love that you have all of them (though I try to forget the movie).

[akumatekkusu666]

Awesome :D

I hear Jason Isaacs might be the next Master

[MySerpentine]

Simm is totally my favorite, because you can cry for him despite everyhing. That's a good villain.

[TigressJade]

OMG, I just finished watching "The End of Time". This vid is pretty much epic in my book. You got ALL of them. Especialy the recent one. Thanks for making this, I totally needed a bit of The Master fanservice. This fits him so well. I can honestly say I'm impressed. =D

[scottytheboy]

love the song choice, good work

[abskwl]

I LOVE IT!!

i prefer the old Master tho - the new one is more of a mix of the doctor and the master - trying to be humorous and evil but failing in both.

The old Master was better cuz you actually feared him.

[Drez26]

Ainley was the best Master IMHO

[abskwl]

i agree!

he had a hard time filling the shoes of Delago after he died but he played the Master awesomely, maybe even better than the original

[TheOnComingStorm121]

No no...Ainley was fantastic...But you can't beat the sinister charm of Delgado...

[Cjrrodian]

@abskwl The old master was the very textbook definition of architypal villian: Black cloak, goatee, maniacal laugh, plans and monologues. Much like this song. Unfortunately, such characters are not respected anymore (f*$k you Allan Moore!) so they had to transform the master into a wildcard nutcase.

In short he has gone from Blofeld to the Joker PS Despite this i really did like John Simm's performance, and hope to see him again :)

[Akaviran]

Fantastic Tribute! It'll be good to see The Master back in David Tennant's last episode. :)

[georgekostaras]

Excellent job including Simms into this.

[TMontannaScarface]

fantastic

[harrietamidala1691]

I noticed that there are weird, abrupt noises in the music. Did you have a scratched CD?

[harrietamidala1691]

I've thought of another song for the Master--The Master's Song from the musical Dracula.  Yes, I know the song is really about dracula, but the song is perfect for the Master. Some of the lyrics may have to be applied in a figurative sense for the Master. It may have to sung from the point of view of someone who was a follower or servant of the Master.

[harrietamidala1691]

are you familiar with the movie the Great Mouse Dectective? There's a song I really like called The World's Greatest Criminal Mind, sung by Ratigan and his cronies.  I think you should make a Master-themed video of that song, particularly using the old episodes. The hamminess of ratigan is just perfect for the master, especially Roger Delgrado and Anthony Ainley.

[harrietamidala1691]

Terror of the autons is available only on videotape--how did you manage to post a clip of it on your video?

[HomicidalNightingale]

Recorded it onto DVD and then ripped it onto my computer. Compiling the clips took 10x as long as editing the video.

[harrietamidala1691]

and do you own all of the episodes that appear in this video?

I also found out that Terror of the Autons is available on iTunes.

[harrietamidala1691]

do you own all the episodes that have clips in this video?

[happytravelling]

I love the shot of the Master reading the "War of the Worlds". Great tribute to the Master!

[harrietamidala1691]

that shot's from 1:00 to 1:02

[harrietamidala1691]

Here's one shot where the Third Doctor is getting tied up. What's going on there? Has the Third Doctor fallen into a trap or was kidnapped and someone is finishing up the job to keep him detained? And what episode is that from? I am still watching episodes featuring the First Doctor.

[HomicidalNightingale]

It's from Terror of the Autons. The Master's 1st Ep. The Master is controling the plastic in the phone cord making it strangle the Doc .

[harrietamidala1691]

where can I find a clip of that scene?

[harrietamidala1691]

since you have that episode, can you post the scene?

[magdarkrai]

Obey your lord and Master

[astaroth99]

I liked all of them. Roger Delgado and John Simm are quite similar, i like Roger for his calming humour, and *charity*, while Kohn Simms, all smiles and cherfulness, kind of like the Lucifer in Constantine (2005), which one of my friends think i am with my attitude, but enough of that. Wonder if he'll cone back? I hope so.

[drhoneydoo]

Roger Delgado was the best master ever! He had that kind of James Bond villain/Count Dracula look that was perfect for the master. He also didn't always were the same black costume in every episode. He dressed with style.

[brummieforlife26]

Roger delgado was the best master ever

he was funny, menacing and had tons of style and charisma and the rapour he had with the third doctor was just awesome

RIP Roger!

[Giradius]

DAMN GOOD!

wonderful video.

I hope the master does return, i have heard RTD wont be bringing him back.

[mrshushie]

After the current series RTD will be moving on to other projects leaving Steven Moffet in charge. Don't worry, the Master will of course return but probably later rather than sooner so his reappearance will be more impactive.

[icewormie]

I heard simmy master is back in DTs last ep and make him regenerate

[ZackMallory]

The Best Master is John Simms

[Drez26]

Ainley was the BEST Master

[vladtaltosfan]

Ainley was the most fun to watch, but I think the best was either Delgado or Pratt.

[Jackalman99]

Anthony Ainley was the best real Master ever, although I liked Derik Jacobi as the cartoon Master in The Scream 0f The Shalka.

[ShurtugalVrael]

i really like the bit at the beginning where you've got clips of them allturning to face the camera. brilliant video.

[RoyMrMann]

BRILLIANT! 5 STARS!!!! plus another star for having all the masters and not just simm (even though he did a wonderful job)... *huggles clip*

[drantb]

john simm not simms but good video

[starphoenix79]

I was thinking of doing this one to the Master myself before I saw this. I love your video. If I do one I will credit yours as being first. Great video by the way. Five stars.

[xoxoxAngelxoxox]

Well put together.

Isn't this song great for the Doctor/Master relationship?

[Extraintrovert]

From the start this was excellent, two VERY appropriate quotes, coupled with all the actor's names, and the first visual being the Master's first appearance. Then it got better:

Each clip showed a different part of his personality, the cuts accelerating with the music and the clips itself matching with the lyrics, effectively displaying the destructive enigma that is the Master, all succeeding in being very creepy and entertaining.

[ChaosxEnvy]

The Master IS the best.

[outlaw10110]

the master is the best simple as that

[georgi80a]

Beautiful.

[LilaKooks]

LOL!

[studiopie]

even cooler

[ElfgirlJen]

That was interesting...

[studiopie]

this song gives me the creeps, but i like it

[Lurkerbunny]

There are now three videos of the Master using this song: Your two versions and some other guy's. And I have them all faved.

[IPreferTheTermBoffin]

Brilliant, loved the 1st 1 but this is even better

John Simm, yay!!!

[ryttu3k]

Brilliant! :D I've got to agree, I did like Ainley skipping during that one line, and the laugh at the end - but the new stuff fits perfectly. And the JELLY BABIES! XD

[rickmaniac101]

Fantastic work! I'm so glad to see this one updated, I loved the original, and the update is great! Fantastic, I'm so happy to see it!

[tem4w5]

So glad you updated this! Some great new moments, like the jelly babies, Jacobi looking tearful, and Simm's smile on "I'm lying through my teeth." Just two things from the first version I was sad to see go: Ainley skipping during "does his job but does it happily" -- the rhythm on that was perfect -- and Tom Baker shrugging off Ainley's arm over his shoulder. But I know something had to go to make room for the new Masters, plus I see that you've still got the old version up, so it's all okay!

[mhrkara]

awesome! absolutely amazing work! :D

[vanillaorchid]

Great vid, but I'm biased towards the original. My favourite bit with Ainley laughing malevolently in the aerial control room at the Pharos project has gone. Mwah ha ha!

[SkittyUriko]

like the vid. xD

[ladymajavader]

Wow, you not only updated the vid, you actually improved on it! Especially with the jellybabies. And the end quote. And the parallels between 'old' and 'new' Masters like the cut from Delgado to Simm at 1:04. And did I mention it's completely brilliant?

[EmelRaines]

I loved the first version... but you did a really good job adding in the new bits that I only have one little complaint: you didn't leave in the scene of him skipping across the tiles. It was the best part.

But, like I said. This version's great to.

Do you have either of them downloadable?

[TheBigBlueBox]

Great job... however his name is John Simm, not Simms...

[frankiewilliams]

Excellent work Forge.

[HomicidalNightingale]

Thanks Georgie. :)
