Found the BBC link here His Master was a sinister presence, that frightened young Doctor Who fans everywhere. Unlike the Daleks,whose plans for universal domination were scuppered by the fact, they could only move on metal, The Master, turned up when you didn't expect him to, and always with evil intent. RIP Anthony Ainley |

The ABC Australian Broadcasting Corporation is currently showing a Back to the Future retrospective of (selected episodes) of the whole Dr Who series ... the current one is in black & white ... and has The Master at his dastardly worst! Regards, Bob Bolton |

Sadly Sidney Newman who created Dr Who and the concept (Terry Nation who is often credited, including for a while by Trivial Pursuit, only invented the Daleks) was not made a rich man by it. He also died a few years back. I prize and therefore hardly ever wear an original bright green Dr Who shirt (sport shirt, like a Lacoste tennis shirt) Sidney gave me quite a lot of years ago in lieu of legal fees! |
