At least around these parts, he seemed pretty universally loved as a BF-original incarnation of the Master, and he sounded like he was having fun whenever we got to hear him talk about it. And there has been a lot of Master stuff announced for the next year or two.
But I believe the last time we saw or heard anything about Macqueen/Macqueen's Master was (I believe) in The Two Masters, over two years ago. I miss him.

Look up Hut 33 podcast for some McQueen fun. He's not the main character but he's great in it.

Looking at his IMDB profile, my guess would be he got too busy.

Yes and not in the River set either It's not unreasonable he's not in the River set - I imagine there's quite a lot of listeners there who aren't familiar with the rest of BF's output. |

I would go the other way on that -- putting an audio-original Master in a TV-centric set is good bait to draw audio newbies into the larger Big Finish catalogue. |

Maybes it is just a matter of, well not to be blunt but, both Jacobi and Beevers arent getting younger and so i imagine they are trying to get as much material as they can (hence why we are now getting three new war master boxsets). As for his absence in the river boxset, i imagine they wanted Michelle and eric as they are both new and so it makes the river box set seem quite the bit more appealing. Im sure he will return to the edas or whatever at somepoint, its not like he isnt busy as a jobbing actor anyway

Alex MacQueen is good in everything, but that does also mean he turns up in everything.

He’s good, and he’s a very busy actor.
Let’s face it, though, when you can use the TV Masters you would, wouldn’t you? Same goes for Dreyfus.
And you don’t not have the likes of Derek Jacobi and Michelle Gomez in a production if you have the choice!

Well, you know what they say about absence. When he finally does return, it'll be all the more epic.
Just imagine if his return was as surprising as his debut! That would be brilliant.

Doing the voiceovers for every other advert on the radio I think. Siobbhan Redmond does the rest.

MacQueen's Master also can't meet any Doctor who chronologically comes before "Survival" - they can't pull the memory-wiping trick they did in "Vampire of the Mind" every time. So he's more limited in what they can do with him than their other Masters.

It wouldn't be the first time Time Lords have met in random orders (look at Rufus Hound's Monk, for example). I think Tennant and MacQueen would be brilliant together! |

I think about this more than I should. I've been missing old Hello, You very much.
That being said, we can't complain about not enough Masters. I can't remember a time when we had so much material with him/her in it than what we are and have been getting. It's been wonderful!

I don't think there's been this much output for the Master in such a short space of time since his first appearance back in every story of '71! It's great to see the character getting a serious time to shine  (Just imagine what Big Finish are going to do in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of the character...) |

Alternate Master stories under one Banner.Instead of Box sets for each Master a bit like the Main Range |

There must be a fair chance that the MacQueen Master will appear in a forthcoming Ravenous story. Even if it is just a stand alone one off adventure.
