Only stating what`s been going around on the net Charles Dances name has cropped up a lot in recent days as I made clear these are purely rumours nothing is confirmed either way.
But I look back to last year when Peter Calpaldi`s name cropped up across the net especially on the GB forum and that turned out to be true. As ever I won`t take anything as fact until there is strong evidence or confirmation. |

Just the latter I think, but then Capaldi's name was thrown around like that long before there was any inkling it would be him so you never know.

Who knows? But, he'd be most welcome. I'd like to Moffet's take on the character.

was just asking because I hope it's true. don't really get moffat's earlier idea that the doctor having an arch nemesis was 'cartoonish', I think the master (and davros for that matter) as a villain gives an episode more gravitas, think about it, when it's a returning species e.g daleks, the dalek he's facing that day could have never met him before, but with the master, there's the shared history of all their experiences and conflict over the years
Personally I think random encounters with monsters of the week are cartoonish and Scooby doo esque. The Master and the Doctor have a known history which adds dramatic weight to their encounters. Sadly this is one concept Moffat fails to grasp and is his weakest spot as a writer. He tends to rely on telling rather than showing. Doesn't work for me. |

I`ve got to be honest if Charles Dance has been cast as The Master it will be in my opinion the best casting since Roger Delgado because he`s brilliant at playing cold, he`s got the look also.
As for the other rumoured names Warren Brown good actor was brilliant at playing Andy Holt the psychopathic rapist and went down as Hollyoaks best villain of all time but I just couldn`t see him as The Master to be honest, he`s just too baby faced for The Masters role maybe a potential future Doctor after Capaldi yes, he would be another Christopher Eccleston type gritty but very funny and cheeky with it. Damien Molony would be a good choice but he`s only 29 and I don`t think it would go well with capaldi`s doctor at all, would have worked better alongside Matt Smith though. |

My money's on the next "Master" being portrayed by a female and/or non-white actor - as a nod to those who have asked to see such change occur with the Doctor.

9 had the Daleks and since Davros followed The Master in the RTD era, I'm going to therefore also work on the assumption that Davros is back and will return to this place to claim my prize next year
![]() Capaldi will be getting through his DW checklist with ease, too ![]() ETA: That said, we know Missy is back next year too, apparently. Though I hope she's not the "big bad." |

It's obvious the next big bad is the Dalek Empress, first female Dalek.
