It'd be neat to see a new incarnation in between Delgado and Pratt/Beevers. Not sure what he'd be like though. I suppose a younger looking man might be neat. If they decided that Alex Macqueen's Master was that incarnation, my 'will not buy recast roles' stance would need serious re-examination.

It's a shame Macqueen is already taken because he'd be faboulous as an incarnation in between Delgado and Pratt/Beevers. He's got aspects of both Roger Delgado and Geoffrey Beevers.

How about Geoffrey Beevers' Master before he was disfigured? If BF's going to explore the Master pre-Deadly Assassin, now's the time to do it. And Beevers has said on at least a couple of occasions that he'd be up for covering that part of his life.
Like paz said, the Third Doctor's era is so effected by mortality that BF should avoid recasting wherever possible (though I wouldn't mind having a new companion in a Season 10B format for the sake of doing something new for Three). The Beevers Master deserves to be seen as a distinct incarnation from Delgado anyways.

Having someone play Roger Delgados Master as long as it's done respectfully i don't have a problem with, in fact i see it as a tribute to the great actor.

As for the original question of would I accept a recast, the answer is yes. I think BF has done a wonderful and respectful job with their recasts so far and I wouldn't expect anything less.

I haven't dipped into the Third Doctor stories yet, but as others said, if they can recast the Third Doctor, they can certainly recast the Delgado Master, as long as it is done respectfully. The Delgado Master is so tied to the Third Doctor era, it seems reasonable to do so.

In theory if you can re-cast a Doctor then by the same logic everything is on the table. Re-casting is not something i want to hear in my bf stories though so I hope bf do not get carried away with it and start re-casting roles willy nilly just to make a few bob.

Big Finish have been making audios what, almost twenty years now. I think they need to start a careful transition now or in twenty years time the first four Doctors era's will all be a closed book.
With the 3da's we are becoming ised to a recast Doctor alongside Jo and Mike. In ten years it may no longer be possible for Jo and Mike to be there alongside him but by then we may have become used to a recast Brig, Sarah Jane and Master. One by one, over years, to avoid situations where whole eras of the show just cannot be represented except in short stories narrated by the Monk.

Maybe they SHOULD become a closed book once the actors are no longer with us. I've just no interest in listening to also-rans, personally.

Pose this question to Frazer Hines. 'Would you have a problem with someone else playing you, acting as Jamie McCrimmon, after you pass away?'
I would love to know his thoughts, and all those iconic actors/actresses from the original era. Ask Tom Baker, ask Peter Davison, ask Colin and Sylvester, Sophie, Wendy Padbury, William Russell, and all those that are still with us.
Why wait? Mortality is the one sure thing we know we can count on.
As for me, I have no problem with recasting the master, the rani or anyone else. As long as the proper respect is shown, for the memory and work of the original person to play the part.

Garfield as a post-McQueen, pre-Jacobi "War Master"?

That works rather nicely actually. What about using Garfield? As I recall from something mentioned on the old BF forums, there was some suggestion he'd had health problems that ruled out his reappearance. Also discussed on the BF forums was a rumour that Jon Pertwee lobbied for Trevor Martin to play the Master in a third radio series that never happened. If this could be substantiated, and if BF were prepared to move on to the post-Jo era, that could be an option.

I would be happy enough if they went for a recast
