there is no deffinate thing about Simm being the master! none at all with the exception of the Radio TImes cover they are playing cards close to their chest!
"Two years ago, (John) Simm had an antic cameo as the psychotic Roman emperor in an American drama called Nero which he hopes is never shown here.
"Having said that," he says, "if you can last five minutes at the beginning where I die, I'm f***ing great in it."
It also, he adds, paved the way for his role in the next series of Doctor Who. "I didn't realise it at the time, but it was a dry run. It was an unturndownable part. I play a character called Mr Saxon but I can't say any more than that, apparently."

If the professor does regenerate, and is the master - it answers the question of a time lord being able to regenerate more than 13 times (maybe as a result of the rest of the time lords being dead?)
Good theory! Would solve the only 3 Doctors left problem too.
What about Mr Saxon being the Valeyard who appeared in the sixth Dr Adventure 'Trial of a Timelord'. If I remember correctly he was a dark persona that split off from the Doctor between his 12th and 13th regenerations.
The face of Boe said that the Doctor was the last of his kind and 'You are not alone'. On Dr Who confidential David Tennant said that the truth lies somewhere in between this so surely the only way he can be the 'last' and 'not alone' is for another version of the Doctor to be out there?
One possible version is that the Professor is the 12th Doctor and regenrates into the 13th while the Valeyard aka Mr Saxon splits off and goes and does his thing. The fact that the Professor is an older version of the 12th Doctor won't mess things up for a possible younger person playing Doctor 12 later on.
However the comment on the vote Saxon site by Mr Saxon about a 'brother' 'what brother?' tends to point towards him being the master.

Or the master is not turely considered a timelord because he was cast out by them
Or the master is not turely considered a timelord because he is part cheetah
Or the master was not wiped from time like the other timelords, but no longer exists in the FOB's time (because the Doc is going to kill him)

wouldn't pay too much attention to that site, not sure how "official" it is. Again the brother idea is not really canon at present (unless they confirm it in this series)
like ive said before in the mcgann film the master was sucked into the eye with in the tardis how has he escaped the tardis if he truly is the master.

pardon? And RTD won't confirm or deny whether he's including the mcgann movie as canon. If it's so that he's ignoring it, then the master is still very much alive and kicking.

BBC counts McGann (and his TV movie) as canon, and so therefore it's canon. It's only the fans who have ever doubt its canonicity (and there are multiple reason why they should want this to be the case *cough*halfhuman*cough*).
HOWEVER, as we all know, nothing is ever 100% canonical in Dr Who - concepts from change, are rewritten of just plain ignored all the time - there is no reason to assume this will change. RTD doesn't need to explain the Master's return. An "I thought you were dead" line is quite enough for everyone.

which says login: saxon access: master...
that makes no sense to me
Is this a clue or another example of the low standards of the education system.
If the latter then WE NEED SAXON to save us all

Perhaps because of the research that the other proffessor (Lazerus) had been doing for him.
Because he has the ability to time travel
if it is The Master perhaps he has been waiting for a particular moment to spring the trap.

yeah because that looked like a BBC creation as well.

It's transparent. Materalising maybe?
Thats what the posts are saying-not me!!!!
Maybe when Rose looked into the heart of the TARDIS without knowing what she was doing?
Or, as has been said above, the movie is not being counted as canon.
