Yeah, all this running around the muddy english countrysite... That's all I remember of it anyway. And Pertwee wasn't such a great Doctor. Haven't seen 5th, 6th and 7th, but so far he's my least favourite (Doctor Who ends at series 10, so there's only 13 Doctors, War included).
The only other time the Timelords have felt remotely powerful. That Timelord lands a couple a dozen feet in the air and his reaction is "Oh dear, my coordinates have slipped".
That shows the tragedy of the Master, Rani or even Davros. People with incredible vision and gifts allowing their bitterness or greed to take them down one of two paths where the difference was so slight but the result dramatic. The Valeyard or Timelord Victorious is how it could've been VERY easily the Doctor. If they'd followed the same path AS the Doctor or travelled with him imagine what good they could've done for the universe? They're fictional versions of historical figures like Hitler. Imagine if someone like him had used his incredible political and leadership skills but from a heart that beat with a desire to do good and believed in mercy? Who knows what the history books would say about him and how the world be like now?
Doylistly, I think it's because the script-writer wasn't expecting there to be a window in the set, and for some reason no-one doing the scene was on the ball enough to go 'hey, we should cover that up' (or they were hoping that the audience would ignore it).
Interesting that the Doctor doesn't regard himself as a renegade Time Lord like the Master, and that the Messenger acknowledges that the Tribunal views him as basically a good citizen.
Zak Rosenfeld It was a joke. Even Moffat himself said it was just a leg pull to solve missing run time. I got over that in minutes; it felt so obvious to me at the time that it was just a gag.
1:21 I like to think the War Chief from "The War Games" was the Master and therefore the last time the Doctor met him. He could easily have regenerated off screen into Delgado Master moments after he was "killed".
Yeah that's my headcanon as well. Absolutely nothing in the actual episodes to contradict it. I'll never understand why no writer has jumped at the opportunity. Besides, it makes the War Chiefs reaction to - and subsequent talks with The Doctor that much more meaningful
If The Brigadier was with the Doctor on the radio telescope when the incognito Time Lord materialized in the air to warn him of the Master,he'd be very surprised.
I think Katy Manning was probably the same. It was clear they both made one another smile . They had a great onscreen rapport that I don't think has ever been matched. And the closing scenes of 'The Green Death' choke me up everytime.
The irony from both men is amusing, a time lord who thinks dressing in a bowler hat, carrying an umbrella and appearing a thousand feet up in the air is inconspicuous and the other time lord calls his dress ridiculous while dressing in a cloak and frilly shirt himself. What we learn from this short scene is that all time lords suffer from bad vanity, the master naturally, the meddling monk and even Romana, Susan is the only odd one out, maybe cos she isn't a full time lord.
Or else Susan had natural good manners. The Time Lady Rodan from the Invasion of Time was arrogant too, until a passing Shobogan rather snidely pointed out that she didn't have the basic ability to feed herself in the Gallifreyan landscape outside the Capitol. She became much nicer for the rest of that story.
If Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was with the Doctor when that incognito Time Lord materialized out of thin air & above the ground while hearing the TARDIS materialization noise,he‘d be speechless,even seeing 1 of the Doctor‘s own people being sent by the Tribunal quickly vanish after being told that the Master‘s on Earth.
Chris McWilliams Read "The Dark Path", it's a Virgin Missing Adventures novel that has the 2nd Doctor and The Master and explains the origins of why he is evil.
Sounds cool. I read a bunch of the Target books based on episodes (sadly I don't have them anymore) and I used to have most of the Tymeworm books with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. Sadly, the books are hard to get in the U.S. and kind of pricey even online but I will look.
No it doesn't. It just reveals how far this Time Lord travelled in the last step - 29,000 light years; or less than a third of the way across the Milky Way. The Time Lord did NOT say he had travelled from Gallifrey, that is your assumption. Another classic serial establishes that Gallifrey is in another galaxy - so not The Milky Way. It may have been a 5th Doctor story - can't remember. Although it has always been rather ambiguous.
@@schubertukGallifrey is close to the Milky Way's centre. Time Lords are active on missions across the universe, so this guy was probably just diverted by the Celestial Intervention Agency to pass on the warning.

And, as the telescope was so vital to the Master;s plans, why blow it up?
The Doctor should‘ve had worn the black fedora when the Time Lord came from their home planet to warn him about the Master. It did look good with the clothes the Doctor took from the hospital where he was taken to after he fell out of the TARDIS following his 2nd regeneration and the start of his exile on 20th Century Earth. Good that the Time Lord didn‘t call the 3rd Doctor‘s clothes ridiculous after his clothes were offended by the 3rd Doctor himself.

Agreed Chris Stehlik. Such a silly New Who explanation because if it's true (Which it's not) then every other Tardis pilot ever seen on the show must be doing it too, because EVERY Tardis ever seen in the classic series sounded like that. Sigh...I generally like Moffat, but I hate that sort of nonsense that he throws in off and on.
That incognito Time lord who came to Earth to warn the Doctor that the Master is on Earth was a coward for not helping him capture that evil renegade Time Lord and have him sent back to their home planet to be permanently locked up.
The Time Lords are very, very big on the whole "No Interference" thing, which was why the Doctor was exiled to Earth. They only told the Doctor due to the fact that he was in very grave danger, but to have actually acted during that time period, that Time Lord would have been put on trial as well

T. L. Chivz ...thanks for the info... ...have other iterations of the Doctor met other Timelords (other than The Master) or was this a phenomenon particular to the third Doctor?...
Omega was Troughton and Pertwee in The Three Doctors which I think was the first time they did a multiple Dr story [it was also Hartnell's final appearance but his health prevented him being involved in anything beyond a sit down cameo although he does feature in the story he wasn't in any of the Omega scenes.] . Morbius and Romana were both with Tom Baker, Warlord was with Patrick Troughton, Rassilon was with the first 5 Doctors + Tennent and Capaldi, The Rani was [I think but can't remember clearly as it was during my military service so I missed a lot] with Davison and Colin Baker [I'm sure it was both.] Also Troughton and both Baker's had stories involving multiple Time Lords on Gallifrey [the council of Time Lords normally] one of which resulted in the Doctor becoming their President! I think that was Tom Baker.
The War Lord wasn‘t a Time Lord. The War Chief was a renegade Time Lord who gave him his technology to help him start the war games until he betrayed him after the Doctor interfered in their evil plans
Would that Time Lord dare punch the Doctor in the nose if he called him a coward for not helping him when he decided to leave after informing him that the Master is on Earth and that there is an explosive in the room that he was going to enter when he heard the TARDIS materialization noise?
Were the other Doctor Who stories from Jon Pertwee's era,The Silurians,The Ambassadors of Death,The Mind of Evil & The Daemons, restored in full color after they were shown on PBS in black & white also?
It hasn't been revealed when was the last time the Doctor saw the Master before deciding to steal a TARDIS and leave his home planet to explore the Universe.
That incognito Time Lord may have told The Doctor about The Master arriving on Earth,but he didn‘t have the courage to help him fight the evil rogue Time Lord & the Autons.
That's because they didn't believe in interfering, directly. They used the Doctor to do their dirty work a number of times (in exchange for looking the other way when he broke that rule himself). In fact, that was what got him exiled to Earth in the first place, that he was interfering with other planets.
I don't understand the fact that the Timelords in the War Games were so against interference in the affairs of other planets etc, but then in the 3rd doctor's era made him do an assortment of missions, breaking that very rule they had initially been so stern about. I guess they just turned manipulative over that time period.
In The War Games,the Time Lords had to interfere then when the Doctor called them for their help to return many soldiers from Earth's different wars back to their own times after they were captured by aliens led by the War lord,at the cost of getting himself caught by them after they aided him.
azure rainbow Pretty sure this time lord could of snapped his fingers and burnt every auton to the ground and imprisoned The Master in time but he just didn't bother
Are the Autons good here? Sorry for asking. Just speculating because I love the Autons here but some say that they are at theeir Lowest here or is it just me?
Would have looked better if he had a Tardis to materialise in on the walkway of the radio telescope. A red fire hose-reel cupboard against the wall or something. Jump out and jump back in instead of miraculously materialising in thin air complete with the Tardis sound effect and float in to engage in conversation with the Doctor. Terror of the Autons was an excellent episode probably the best for season eight except for this ridiculous scene which brings it down in my favourite 1970s episode list. This is unfortunate because it is Jo Grant's first appearance. I feel that this episode ties with The Mind of Evil but The Daemons was a shocker.
Why don't the Time Lords just sort the Master out themselves? Surely if they were allowed to stop the Doctor from interfering, then the Master actively trying to cause harm has to be just cause to interfere?
Blastfrom thepast Agreed. Simply elegant. No bullshit about gender swapping The Timelords or The Dr. No crap about pc gay rights nor innuendo either...I wish the writers would return to those days...and cease the let's make The Dr a woman...
It is obvious that not read the novel "Interference," Lawrence Miles showed how random and weird can be the regeneration, and Ace and Mike Yates have a gay touch.
Probably standing in the door of a dully cloaked Tardis, and that pop sound is the door opening or closing... gotta remember the Doctors Tardis is practically ancient, its like a 1920's hand powered crank telephone compared to the latest Iphone. So you cant really compare how a proper up to date Tardis would look and act like.
@@lunammoon8503 ah see i have in fact decided to take it as canon that time lords can fly, so that does present a bit of a problem. but i think it's safe to say that the doctor's just an idiot in that regard. not that much of a stretch tbh...
It would explain Romana's line in City of Death. But he's probably just using a Time Ring with special extra features that let him hover the way a TARDIS can hover sometimes.
He's never named. But the Doctor has obviously met him before. He could be a new incarnation of one of the tribunal who sentenced him to exile, or just some random member of the High Council that the Doctor had met previously.
AubreySciFi His small page on the wiki says that he was a member of the tribunal, but the actor's page has this listed as his only Time Lord appearance. So I suppose it's safe to assume that, much like Goth from _The Deadly Assassin,_ he is intended to be one of the original Time Lords.
It really confuses me as to why it's impossible for the doctor to run into other timelords now considering they travel throughout time and go to other planets. There must have been exiles or outliers or cowards that weren't there during the time war. It wouldn't break time if he ran into another time Lord so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible
Well The Time lock that was put on the Time War seems to sort of split the universe into a pre-Time War and post-Timr War one. It's wonderfully strange and fits with the nebulous concept of a war across the fourth dimension
Could be standing in the doorway of a fully cloaked Tardis and the pop is the door opening/closing... gotta remember the Doctors Tardis is practically ancient compared to the ones the Timelords use so who knows what the modern Tardis are like and how they Function comparativly.
It's only a Sci-fi fantasy character in a Sci-fi series but just sometimes there are exceedingly irritatingly smug people whose throat you wish you could get your hands around. The Doctor controlled himself very well
Qualifications are meaningless if all you can do is commit crimes with them, high IQ low EQ that's the Master.Anyway clever people aren't always good at exams.

That incognito Time Lord may have told The Doctor about The Master arriving on Earth,but he didn‘t have the courage to help him fight the evil rogue Time Lord & the Autons.
That's because they didn't believe in interfering, directly. They used the Doctor to do their dirty work a number of times (in exchange for looking the other way when he broke that rule himself).
In fact, that was what got him exiled to Earth in the first place, that he was interfering with other planets.
I don't understand the fact that the Timelords in the War Games were so against interference in the affairs of other planets etc, but then in the 3rd doctor's era made him do an assortment of missions, breaking that very rule they had initially been so stern about. I guess they just turned manipulative over that time period.
In The War Games,the Time Lords had to interfere then when the Doctor called them for their help to return many soldiers from Earth's different wars back to their own times after they were captured by aliens led by the War lord,at the cost of getting himself caught by them after they aided him.
azure rainbow Pretty sure this time lord could of snapped his fingers and burnt every auton to the ground and imprisoned The Master in time but he just didn't bother
@@IG7799-c4u It gave them plausible deniability. They could always say the Doctor was acting on his own accord.
Are the Autons good here? Sorry for asking. Just speculating because I love the Autons here but some say that they are at theeir Lowest here or is it just me?
River Song: It's not supposed to make that noise, YOU leave the brakes on!
Incognito Timelord: *Leaves the brakes on inside himself*
Goes to show how stupid that scene was written. Idiot Moffatt trying to make his mary sue character vetter then the title character.
Would have looked better if he had a Tardis to materialise in on the walkway of the radio telescope. A red fire hose-reel cupboard against the wall or something. Jump out and jump back in instead of miraculously materialising in thin air complete with the Tardis sound effect and float in to engage in conversation with the Doctor. Terror of the Autons was an excellent episode probably the best for season eight except for this ridiculous scene which brings it down in my favourite 1970s episode list. This is unfortunate because it is Jo Grant's first appearance. I feel that this episode ties with The Mind of Evil but The Daemons was a shocker.
He may have been traveling by Time Ring.
Unless he was travelling via an early model Time Ring. That technology was developed after the Doctor first left Gallifrey.
Either way, just get this guy grounded.@@tompearce5418
Why don't the Time Lords just sort the Master out themselves? Surely if they were allowed to stop the Doctor from interfering, then the Master actively trying to cause harm has to be just cause to interfere?
Well they do. They sort the master out by setting the Doctor against him.
You don't keep a dog and bark yourself.
That was a cool idea for a timelord, wish he visited more often!
Think the Doctor met 6 timelords before the master. The Meddling Monk, The War Chief, The Three who sentenced him and this one
That’s not including Big finish though. He meets the master back as the 1st Dr
And Susan
this timelord is one of the ones who sentenced him.
@@thehybriddoctor39 no it isn't. Source?
I loved the Pertwee era - it was far more adult and puts the Chibnall / Whitaker disaster to shame.
Don't ruin the mood for others by whining and complaining about it everywhere you go.
PROPER Doctor Who from a golden era before the rot set in. New Who can't hold a candle to this.
Blastfrom thepast agreed!
Blastfrom thepast Agreed. Simply elegant. No bullshit about gender swapping The Timelords or The Dr. No crap about pc gay rights nor innuendo either...I wish the writers would return to those days...and cease the let's make The Dr a woman...
It is obvious that not read the novel "Interference," Lawrence Miles showed how random and weird can be the regeneration, and Ace and Mike Yates have a gay touch.
Mayo Tango131 oh fuck off...
MT131 - Spin-off novels don't count as anything other than 'fan fiction'. And your post didn't really make sense.
...so is it canon time lords can fly?
Probably standing in the door of a dully cloaked Tardis, and that pop sound is the door opening or closing... gotta remember the Doctors Tardis is practically ancient, its like a 1920's hand powered crank telephone compared to the latest Iphone. So you cant really compare how a proper up to date Tardis would look and act like.
You'd think but considering what happened to Four...
@@lunammoon8503 ah see i have in fact decided to take it as canon that time lords can fly, so that does present a bit of a problem. but i think it's safe to say that the doctor's just an idiot in that regard. not that much of a stretch tbh...
It would explain Romana's line in City of Death. But he's probably just using a Time Ring with special extra features that let him hover the way a TARDIS can hover sometimes.
What's that timelords name? 😂
Tardis Data Core only label him as "Time Lord messenger"
They should've called him "Spiffy". :-P
He's never named. But the Doctor has obviously met him before. He could be a new incarnation of one of the tribunal who sentenced him to exile, or just some random member of the High Council that the Doctor had met previously.
AubreySciFi His small page on the wiki says that he was a member of the tribunal, but the actor's page has this listed as his only Time Lord appearance. So I suppose it's safe to assume that, much like Goth from _The Deadly Assassin,_ he is intended to be one of the original Time Lords.
"The little popping shithead"
It really confuses me as to why it's impossible for the doctor to run into other timelords now considering they travel throughout time and go to other planets. There must have been exiles or outliers or cowards that weren't there during the time war. It wouldn't break time if he ran into another time Lord so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible
Time Lords are quite strict over time yet brutal if renegades step out of line. Just ask The War Lord.
@@sumthingwikked4257 Who? I have never heard of this War Lord a day in my life.
@@fireflygaming8764 He was the main villain of The War Games. It didn't end well for him.
The Monk and The Rani are probably still out there.
Well The Time lock that was put on the Time War seems to sort of split the universe into a pre-Time War and post-Timr War one. It's wonderfully strange and fits with the nebulous concept of a war across the fourth dimension
Why is the Master called the master ?? Master of what ?
The Latest
Why did that timelord materialize with a pop and in midair? And why not use a TARDIS ? Bit daft.
*he's incognito, shh you'll blow his cover*
Could be standing in the doorway of a fully cloaked Tardis and the pop is the door opening/closing... gotta remember the Doctors Tardis is practically ancient compared to the ones the Timelords use so who knows what the modern Tardis are like and how they Function comparativly.
he was in a cloaked TARDIS really!
It's only a Sci-fi fantasy character in a Sci-fi series but just sometimes there are exceedingly irritatingly smug people whose throat you wish you could get your hands around. The Doctor controlled himself very well
That green screen tho
At least they remembered to change the blue screen in this clip. Sometimes they just left it blue.
Qualifications are meaningless if all you can do is commit crimes with them, high IQ low EQ that's the Master.Anyway clever people aren't always good at exams.
_real_ Doctor Who, _not_ the abomination to the right.
So Gallifrey is in the Milky Way galaxy? Just sayin'
We have no idea what was 29 000 light years away. Space station ? Tardis? Something else entirely?

The L
It’s odd how unlikeable The Doctor is in this story, very arrogant and rude.
Oh the days when Doctor Who writing was wonderful
RIP Robert Holmes
Modern Who is utter shite in comparison! ...... Especially with that stupid woman! 👎😠
Clive Mattinson I’ve only seen a few Jodie Whittaker episodes, but I, and other people I’ve read on the Internet, think that she’s doing a good job, and that any problems is with the writing, not the actor.
@@kamenriderspider5292
I've seen all of them. I gave her so much slack, even saying the same things you do, but it's a dual effort of shiteness. She doesn't understand her character and it shows (not that the writing helps).
@@warblenoise Apparently she didn't bother to watch any previous episodes of the half-century show she was going to be fronting.
Is doctor who the biggest load of rubbish or what
Why are people watching this
And yet. Here you are, regardless...
Because its fun, unlike you apparently.
