your welcome

Derek Jacobi should have been the Master for a lot longer. He was brilliant!

2:04 I love how his voice gets higher when he says "Bye-bye!"

[CMDRKillsalot]

@MEGACHANCE360 Because it's older than the Doctor. Infact, the Doctor's TARDIS is nearly 1000 years old!

[JimmyColls]

@CMDRKillsalot Colin Baker had appeared on the show as a minor villain before he was cast as the Sixth Doctor, and the show has a long history of reusing character actors for different roles. I doubt anyone would throw up arms if Gatiss was cast as the Master.

I wouldn't compare Simm's Master to Smith's Doctor. Both are zany, but Smith's Doctor is at least self-aware of how zany he is; Simm's Master came off as unintentionally hammy and poorly directed (especially in TEOT).

[CMDRKillsalot]

@JimmyColls I couldn't agree with you more! While I liked John Simm's Master, he was too much like Matt Smith's Doctor (zany, quirky and mental) rather than a gentlemen-type like the previous Masters were (Delgado, Pratt, Ainley and Jacobi). It would be nice to have a "posh Master" again. Gatiss could do it (he sort of does in Sherlock), but he already appeared on-screen as Richard Lazerus. Should be a different actor who can do posh for the next Master, if he comes back that is.

[JimmyColls]

@CMDRKillsalot Planning the return of the classic villains was more RTD's thing. If the Master does make a return during his tenure, I imagine it will be one of the other writers that does it. I'd love to see Gatiss script the Master's return and take the role himself, his incarnation in the "what if" audio drama was fantastic and would be a great fit for Eleven. Though, personally, I'd rather see the Daleks return. We haven't had a "great" Dalek story since the Ninth Doctor imo.

[CMDRKillsalot]

@JimmyColls Agreed, but If I know Moffat, he has a complex plan to bring back the current Master (John Simm), and not a previous incarnation (Jacobi).

When the Master was revived from the time vortex after being gobbled up by the Doctor's TARDIS in the 1996 TV movie, he was brought back in the form of a child, with his previous memories still intact. Saw the importance of the Time War, stole a TARDIS, ran, and Chameleon Arch'd himself to be a human boy. Human boy > Yana > Master.

[JimmyColls]

@CMDRKillsalot There's room to bring him back. We never saw what this incarnation was up to in all the time before he met Ten, Eleven or Twelve or even Thirteen could always run in to him at a point in his timeline before he became Yana. That's the great thing about Doctor Who, the high concept is so out there that you can get away with things that no other show would dream of.

I know the Daleks are meant to be the Doctor's greatest foe, but for me its always been the Master. He's just so ruthless and cunning, and he's that way because he enjoys it. He simply loves being bad.

@Destro7000 I have bought some of the classic adventures, undoubtedly Richard Delgado is excellent, my fav Master is Anthony Ainley, and Johm Simms, he is so funny that one can easily think he is the best Master ever.
