Well said. My thoughts exactly. Exactly and i hope some day some how Big Finish gets Anthony Head as The Master
that would be the perfect casting choice
I didn't know how much I wanted this until I read that. Now I really, really want this! |

I didn't know how much I wanted this until I read that. Now I really, really want this! I don’t know if my head could cope with the notion that Mr. Gently Benevolent is the Master! Some of his outlandish schemes in Bleak Expectations are worthy of the Ainley Master, which is probably the reason that I don’t think I could take Anthony Head seriously as the Master. |

We already have Missy and The War Master series names which make perfect sense.
The Eric Roberts version is going by the title Master!
Which as someone commented seems a very American 90’s style name.
So if, or perhaps that should be when, the other Masters get a series what name should they have?
I have already proposed Geoffrey Beevers and Milo Parker doing a set or series together and the obvious name would be - Master and Apprentice.
Individually their series could be called
The Last Master
The Young Master
Then there are the top two Masters on this poll.
Would John Simms series simply be called - Saxon
It is a powerful name and synonymous with that incarnation.
Perhaps when he came back, however he came back, he decided to keep the name?
Alex MacQueen was introduced in UNIT: Dominion, so perhaps his series should continue with that naming convention, e.g. MASTER: Dominion.
Can anyone suggest anything different?

I'd like to hear much more from the MacQueen Master too, but for me the answer was still the Classic one. (I'm a Classic fan.  )
Of living Masters, please can we have a Geoffrey Beevers box set? In many ways his Master is the Master made for audio, the Master 'distilled' down to his willpower and the power of his voice (and what a voice). And when that voice speaks... they will obey him!

I'd like them to bring back the Novel Adaptations and do First Frontier with Beevers. It was written for post-Survival Ainley trying to get a new body to get rid off the Cheetah virus, but it could work just as well for post-Dust Breeding Beevers II trying to get a new body. BF could then bring in either the Basil Rathbone version from the novel or the Tipple version from the TV movie.
I'd love it, won't happen though.

Big Finish has mentioned in the news of the end of the main range series about the future of the main range doctors they said and quote " What happened on the Seventh Doctor’s Last Day?" so its possible that they will set up what happened to the master prior to the TV Movie i mean Planet of Dust does mention Tzunites (which helped The Ainley Master Regenerate in the new adventures range which for Big Finish creates an extremely huge plot hole in Ravenous 4 (and Mastermind and basically every post Ainley big finish master stories)

Maybe someone could write something about that... |

I accidentally voted Beevers by mistake.
I'd only want a Beevers series if it was a pre-Crispy version. I fell in love with the idea when Beevers was acting like the MacQueen Master. Basically.... a calmer Beevers, willing to have more fun with his actions, and slightly less sadistic, is pretty close to the ideal.
But if that ain't possible, my vote goes where I initially meant to send it: Mark Gatiss.Now there is a phenomenal Master, as evidenced by a how well he played off of two different Jacobi !asters simultaneously.

Honestly i think Big Finish should just get The Beevers Master instead of The Delgardo Master for The Third Doctor Adventures

Call it a gut instinct but I feel like if John Simms ever reprised his role for a few more adventures then Big Finish will undoubtedly have his Master face the Fourth Doctor at some point.

I agree with this. I've long wanted a pre-crispy Beevers Master to take on the Third Doctor. It's ripe for potential and I think Beevers would leap at the idea to face the colorful and flamboyant Third Doctor. |

It's ripe for potential and I think Beevers would leap at the idea to face the colorful and flamboyant Third Doctor. Well it’s a good balance A) an entire recast volume is a real big gamble B) Culshaw’s Delgardo Master is really rough C) the mixed recast with original actors works well (The Doctor and Brig recasts with the original Jo, Benton and Beevers Master) D) Jo and the Beevers master get along in masterful |

Since I think it's a virtual guarantee that Simm will get one, I'm going with Alex. Masterful made me realize how much I miss his Master.

Masterful was amazing and made me realize I just need every Master, barring Dreyfus(not a fan of his take above all else), to have multiple boxsets.

After Masterful, my opinion of the Crispy Master has definitely improved considerably. I am no definitely, 100% in favor of him getting his own spin-off. Beevers' performance was extremely impressive to me... he basically carried the whole set, in just a few scenes.
But, yeah, (almost) everyone had a strong performance in Masterful. The Young Master, especially, I'd like to see (erm, hear, I swear this verbiage is always confounding) again. Not really sure how that might happen, though. Would he get his own range? "Teen Master?" I dunno. Would it wind up being something like "The Adventures of the Young 1st Doctor and Master?" Yeesh, I dunno... I can't imagine any scenario that isn't just, fundamentally, pretty cringe. But even so.

I haven’t heard Masterful, but reading some comments it sounds like the idea of Beevers & Parker as Master & Apprentice is now impossible?

I don't care how they make him fit in to what series or even his own sets, I would just like BF to give us much, much more of Geoffrey Beevers.
And yes, I would love his Master to take on the Third Doctor across a couple of box sets, an audio extension of the old 'Master Season' in fact, with whatever timey-wimey 'Brigadier, it's perfectly simple. He...' bafflegab is needed from the Doctor to explain the Master's temporary presence as that incarnation!
Maybe getting trapped in the Axos time-loop called for drastic action to break out and as a result, for a short period, the two Masters flipped their proper places in his timestream?

Young Master seems perfectly at ease with his future selves and doesn’t seem to comment on Beevers being a rotting corpse, so I think it’s more possible if anything. |
