She has been having her own adventures, in the previous boxsets. The Doctor is in the boxsets but not in every story. I know. Well, yes, she can then. As apparently you already knew.

Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off of the floor. Oh and anyone who might happen to come across two small white marbles rolling about, please return them to me. I need them to see. Please tell me they've got a multi story deal with Roberts. His post-movie adventures/regeneration are of obsessive interest to me. I would even dare to say that a second volume of Master stories featuring Eric Roberts are desired, nay, required AT ONCE. PLEASE???!!!!! I am not a fanboy. I am not a fanboy.
...I am not a fanboy!

It sounds the same though, just a minor corruption on the spelling. True, but that’s why I said it’s riffing on Bechdel. I imagine the story context it refers to something different. I truly wonder if River and Missy can have a conversation without mentioning the Doctor. Multiple times. Before getting to the point. "Who am I? I'm the Doctor's one true love. And you must be River Song." I'm very much looking forward to all of these stories, but River Vs Missy is top of the heap for me.

So, Dreyfuss, McQueen and Simm for the next set? Along with a very harassed feeling Rufus Hound? "I'm not supposed to BE here!" Magnus would have a field day.

Sort of.

Well, yes, she can then. As apparently you already knew. Yes but increasingly the stories are relying on Dr Who & elements from the tv show rather than original ideas. The Diary of River Song Series 1 - 1 story including the 8th Doctor making up 25% of content. The Diary of River Song Series 2 - 3 stories including the 6th & 7th Doctor making up 75% of content. The Diary of River Song Series 3 - 4 stories including the 5th Doctor &/or other characters/elements from the tv show making up 100% of content. To me it is going into fan-fiction but I accept others like it so I am in the minority in my viewpoint.

I doubt it - this set probably only features TV Masters for a reason. It’s smart marketing—maximizing the number of TV actors aims it directly at the folks who aren’t following the audios, and by choosing such a spread of Master actors, tries to spread that appeal widely. And doing it at Volume 5 subtly/subconsciously encourages the audio-timids who enjoy it to go back and check out the previous four sets. Very shrewd. Absolutely; it’s ticking all the boxes.

WOW!! I'm so excited for this. Although I have to admit that I miss Alex McQueen. Boy, BF has gone from having only one Master to a surfeit of them in a very short time. It's wonderful!

For those of us who think of the 1996 TVM as relatively recent in our memories of the series consider this, in terms of Eric Roberts revisiting his role and it being due for release in 2019.
Had he lived, its the same distance (23 years) to Roger Delgado reprising the role opposite Paul McGann in the TVM, from his last appearance in 1973. And also, had he too lived, having Peter Butterworth reprising the Meddling Monk (from 1965) for the 25th anniversary season opposite Sylvester McCoy in 1998
Feeling old now....

Five Masters is too many? Damn, I was thinking they could have six by bringing in Dreyfus as well! Bring in Simm and make seven. Or, just for the hell of it, bring in Tipple to make it eight. I wonder if this will be a multi-Master story, or if River will just go through each of the Masters in each story like she’s been going through Doctors in each boxset. That could be why they chose to use four Masters. One Master for each episode. Nine if we include David Shelby from “Hallows of Time”. Ten if we include pre-disfigured Beevers as well as evil fog Beevers.

Funny how we know more about this volume then we do about the set coming out in a couple of months. Anyway, bring on River and the Masters.

Yes he did refer to that incarnation as "the snake". I suppose the Snake Master wouldn't be a bad name. There's the First Master, the Decayed Master, the Snake Master, the War Master, and Missy. Names for the others? Saxon Master? How about Delgado and Ainley's?
