Press Release:
John Simm will return as The Master to battle The Doctor (Peter Capaldi), new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) in the forthcoming series of Doctor Who.

John Simm says: ”I can confirm that it's true, thanks to the power of time travel I'm back. It's always a pleasure to work with this great team of people and I can't wait for you all to see what The Master gets up to in the next series. ”

Steven Moffat, writer and executive producer, says: ”Nothing stays secret for long on Doctor Who but you'll have to wait a little bit longer to see exactly what The Master is up to and how he makes his return to face the Doctor. It's been a huge pleasure to have fan favourites John Simm and Michelle Gomez face to face in the same role! It's not often you get to see a solo personality clash."

John Simm was last seen as The Master on New Year's Day 2010. Viewers will have to wait to see exactly when and how The Master will return to the new series, which starts on Saturday 15 April at 7:20pm on BBC One.

As previously announced, Doctor Who series ten will also star Michelle Gomez as Missy – a later regeneration of The Master. Other returning foes include the Daleks, the Ice Warriors and – returning for the first time in almost fifty years – the Mondasian Cybermen. An exciting line up of new faces and adversaries will debut across the series, including adorable-but-deadly Emojibots and David Suchet as The Landlord.

from the sun article yesterday:

Speaking about his role in 2013, he said he wouldn’t miss it because of all the attention it brings.

He told the Radio Times: “I’ll be so happy when that’s gone from my life.

“It’s great to be into something, but for goodness’ sake, really? I’m not the Master, I’m not that evil Time Lord who rules the galaxy, I’m just in Tesco with my kids. Leave me alone!”


guess he had a change of hearts
eccleston please

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
We've had multiple Doctors. Why not multiple Masters?

Yeah I hope he's given better material. His episodes were really stupid.

We've already had multiple masters tho:

Roger Delgado (1971–73)
Peter Pratt (1976)
Geoffrey Beevers (1981)
Anthony Ainley (1981–89)
Eric Roberts (1996) - yes THAT Eric Roberts!
Derek Jacobi (2007)
John Simm (2007–10)
Michelle Gomez (2014

I meant at once. Like The Three Doctors, the Five Doctors, the Two Doctors, Day of the Doctor

Make it "The Two Masters"

He means multiple Masters in the same story. That's never been done before, and we've had multiple multi-Doctor stories.

"HERE. COME. THE. DRUMS."

Excited! Watching him and Gomez bounce off each other as well as Capaldi should be a lot of fun.

EDIT: I hope his more appearance is more in line with Series 3 than End of Time.

Great title, hope they'll use it.

The other title that's been thrown around, 'The Five Masters' (or whatever number, I highly doubt they'll reach 5 of them) sounds a little better to me. It's the standard title format for Multi-Doctor stories, Day of the Doctor was a bit of an exception (possibly mainly because 'The Three Doctors' was already taken).

One of my favorite villains of the current Who. Love ya Missy, but you ain't got nothing on Simm.

Nah Missy is much closer to what the character is supposed to be. She feels like what an extension of what Delgado built, with her own unique twist. Simm was never really the Master to me. Too manic, too shouty, too punk. Felt out-of-character too much to me (didn't help that his stories weren't great). Like the actor though, curious to see how he'll turn out here.
 
I just hope the writing is good. Capaldi deserves so much better than what he's been given so far so hopefully his tenure as the Doctor ends on a high note...
 
Will Missy and Master fuck though?

Edit: Will Simms Master and Delgado master ever fuck?

God, the possibilites, though i feel like it would be incest if you had sex with the oppisite sex version of yourself, there time lord baby may not look right.

That sucks. I was hoping they'd never reference the Simm Master again and now he's back for an episode.
 
This thread is very concerned about the idea of the Master fucking itself.

Like, if we get The Five Masters it'll basically just be this Inside-esque blob of naked limbs and bug-eyes undulating and shouting at Peter Capaldi, apparently.

I guess I never think about the Doctor fucking himself. Maybe it's something about the Master that screams orgy.

Sweeeeet, I liked him during RTD era.

Isn't that technically considered incest?

Yes.

It feels like we're getting all the spoilers this year with the exception of who the next doctor is.

Spoiler it's me...well not really but I did always wanted to play a manic version of the doctor.

Maybe in another lifetime.

This thread is very concerned about the idea of the Master fucking itself.

Because we know that it's totally going to happen.

I've met people who want Missy to fuck the Doctor so Im not surprised by the have Missy and Simm's version of the Master fuck point of view.

I'm fucking excited, Simm was great and it will be loads of fun to see him and Gomez bounce off each other.

He was the Joker to Ten's Batman as opposed to Missy's Moriarty facing off with Twelve's Holmes.

Ten's threats were often cartoonish so they need an equally colorful, scenery chewing villain.
