Alan Rickman.
Saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night. Thought Rickman would be a very quiet and unnerving Master. The act off between him and Capaldi would be stunning!

Plus the added twist that he's Jon's son would guarantee loads of extra publicity.
Seriously all if the above would be good except Ben Miller (sorry!)... Tim Roth!!!!!
Kenneth Branagh!
The Master: Forsooth I say thee...
Twelve: Shut The **** up, speak ****ing English!
Robert Lindsay? Brilliant in Citizen Smith, and villainous yet so vulnerable in GBH...anyone else think so?
Alan Rickman
Tim Roth
Gary Oldman
Robert Lindsay
and Kenneth Brannagh?
Listening Moffat? The people have spoken...
1 million percent agree.
Even though John Simm is a good actor, didn't get his Master.
Over the top in a wrong way.
Until I saw GBH — on 4OD two or three years ago, nowhere near original broadcast — I had him written off as an extremely broad performer of light comedy. I was very wrong and agree with you wholeheartedly.
Thanks for that! He's excellent, very underrated and deserves to be on TV a lot more IMO.
If they decide to go for a younger Master though, Damien Malony would be superb. I'd love to see him in the series, regardless of who he's playing. And I'd also like to see David Haig - who was so terrifying in 'The Thick of It' as Steve Fleming - pop up as a villain.
There's always a way when it comes to The Master.
Simple. The Doctor and the Master are both time-travellers. They don't have to meet each other in order. Much like River popping in and out throughout her and the Doctor's timelines, what's to stop The Doctor bumping into an earlier incarnation of the Master? And possibly one who fits in between Roberts and Jacobi? I know there's the whole Time War being 'locked' but it might make for a simpler explanation than the potentially convoluted way of bringing the Master back sans Gallifrey for a standalone adventure.
EDIT - Alternatively you could avoid the whole Time War lock-down problem by having the Doctor bump into a version of the Master between Ainley and Roberts. After all we never saw which version of the Master was 'executed' by the Daleks in Doctor Who: The Movie.
