The new Doctor Who

Recommended Posts

John Simm? But John Simm is sexy. Roger Delgardo (the Master before) was spooky and sinister (hence my thought about Nick Cotton). I didn't watch much of the old stuff (too busy hiding behind the sofa!!)....

 

Thanks Kry10 - (are you the version with Spare Head No 3!!!) :lol:

Roger Delgado was a good Master, but, don't forget, there was also Roger Delgado, Peter Pratt, Anthony Ainley, Eric Roberts who have played him, same as the Doctor, it doesn't matter so much who plays him, it's HOW they play him, and John Simm is a good actor, so, we will have to wait and see.

 

No, I don't have droid rot and my circuits ain't gone all bandy.

Unfortunately, I missed this evening's episode, but without having seen it, it sounds to me like miscasting.

 

John Simm is a marvellous actor - one of my very favourites - but I can't see him delivering the sense of menace and malevolence (great word!) that is an integral part of the Master. I guess he can't be worse than Eric Roberts though. :P

 

Seriously, it's a brave move, and I really hope it comes off. It's always a pleasure to have John Simm on our screens! :thumbsup:

I think it will work. John Simm can play evil, and the fact that the Master is a bit insane will add to this.

 

Next week looks ace and I've read the write up for the finale. Can't wait. :D
