@darthbandon10 Well said, I HATE Simm's interpretation.
-
Ainley is THE Master.
-
Love this guy, he's pretty darn awesome.
-
I always felt bad for Ainley. I've read there would be many times he would give this really great performance and then the director (not sure which) would make him do it all over the top and he hated doing that. Also, I've read he felt trapped a bit in that they wanted him to play the Master just like he had been played before (since technically it wasn't a regeneration so much as a body heist) and he wanted to make the character his own. In the end I think he did anyway
-
@pattonfrodo, no way dude. similar in appearance perhaps, but ainley looked a little sharper i think. anyways he took a legendary role set forth by the original delgado and actually exceeded delgado's previous performance, something extremely unusual in acting.
-
@chiefdancingostriche is it me or do you or anyone else think roger delgado and Anthony Ainley looked sort of the same ?
-
anthony ainley was my favorite master of all time, outdoing roger delgado which was definitely not a easy thing to do. peter pratt, worst in my opinion, 2nd worst =geoffrey beavers. john simm did better than his immediate predecessor and the 2 most worsts but not quite as good as delgado nor ainley.
-
@britfrenir Yeah, Roger Delgado was taken far ahead of his time. Had he not been killed in that car accident there would have been a final story for his incarnation where he dies saving the Doctor's life.
-
@Trayusstudent1 Oh he's dead too now. Now I know I wish I should have gone to Doctor Who Conventions ealier if I wanted to meet him and others who were on the show. I hope I can find out about the next one before too many more from the classic series end up dying.

@tardiselliotstudios He looks older than when is saw a photo of him from a Doctor Who convention or interview in the 80's. It looks like he lost some hair since then.

People said his Master was too panto...they obviously haven't watched John Simm.

Personally, I find John Simm was one of the weaker Masters. But just imagine if Derek Jacobi was on for the full finale! It would have been more brooding darkness and less Scissor Sisters!
