From Peter Pratt and Geoffrey Beevers to John Simm, these are all of the Masters from 'Doctor Who,' ranked.
Who is the Master? To paraphrase Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor in the 1976 serial “The Deadly Assassin”, they’re the Doctor’s sworn archenemy, a fiend who glories in chaos and destruction. He’s also the Doctor’s former best friend, their schoolmate from the Time Lord Academy, and, for a while, the only other Gallifreyan survivor of the Time War in the universe. The Master was introduced in 1973, during Jon Pertwee’s second season as the Third Doctor.
6. Sacha Dhawan Much like Jodie Whittaker, Sacha Dhawan brought everything he had to the set of Doctor Who. The problem is that the show’s writing just couldn’t meet them at their level. Now approaching its end, Chris Chibnall’s tenure as showrunner is considered by many fans the show’s weakest set of seasons ever since the 2005 comeback.
4. Anthony Ainley Introduced at the end of “The Keeper of Traken” after Geoffrey Beevers’ regeneration, Anthony Ainley was the most longevous Master in the show’s history. Ainley served as a foe to five incarnations of the Doctor, from Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor to Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh. In all of his adventures, he delivered great performances, and his love for the character was palpable in all of his scenes.
And, thankfully, Peter Capaldi’s raw energy as the Twelfth Doctor is the perfect counterbalance to her version of the Master. As Missy, Gomez delivers such a delightfully evil and deranged performance that she can even make the most boring of episodes a real treat for the eyes and ears, at least for the duration of her screen time.
1. John Simm David Tennant’s sophomore run as the Tenth Doctor was somewhat divisive. Though the third season of the 2005 reboot is remembered for its fair share of truly great episodes, such as “Blink” and “Human Nature”/”The Family of Blood”, not everyone was pleased by the pacing of the three-part finale and Russel T. Davies’ Jesus Christ take on the Doctor.
