@legoking6165 I heard once, a very long time ago, that he was descended from Spanish aristocracy. His father was Spanish and Roger was born within the sound of the bells at St Mary Le Bow church and was proud to therefore be a true Cockney.
The father of a former colleague of mine was a close friend of Roger Delgado. The boy would often come home from school to find his Dad and The Master sitting in the kitchen, drinking tea and eating biscuits. The lad was terrified of him. Roger himself was a charming man, remembered with respect and affection. I spoke with John Levene (Sergeant Benton) about him & John was full of thanks for Roger and Jon Pertwee helping him learn the craft of acting.
One could only imagine what conversations would be had and if Roger put on his Master persona. “Hello little Timmy. I hear from your progenitor here that you’ve gotten a B- at school this week...”
Another fantastic video! To me, Delgado isn't just the best Master, he remains the definitive Master. No other actor has inhabited the character the same way he did, although I Derek Jacobi has come close. It's such a tragedy that we lost Delgado so soon, but I think this is a wonderful tribute to him. That autograph blew my mind, by the way.
The character was his and his alone, in my opinion. The role should never have been recast. The rotting corpse in Deadly Assassin was in particularly poor taste.
I love the easter eggs to later Doctor Who lore in the animated versions as it links these various eras together, so seeing these wanted posters for Delgado and Dhawan were funny to see.
I do say Jamie had Roger Delgado lived longer than he did, he was to make a final appearance in the final Jon Pertwee a six part serial called the Final Game which was to have written out the Master and the 3rd Doctor in a huge final showdown the Master was to be killed off and blown up in an enormous cosmic explosion which would devastate the Doctor and also the relationship between the 2 arch-enemies would reveal the Master was a darker version of the Doctor and it is possible the Master overcame his evil ways to save the lives of the Doctor and many other people and show he really had a genuine affection for his onetime friend and arch-enemy the Doctor . I do think had things worked out like that, it is a possibility the Master may well have been only a Jon Pertwee enemy and might not ever have encountered subsequent Doctors at all and no other actors who have since played the Master ever got the part and it is also possible none of the post Roger Delgado Master stories would have ever been made and we could have lost a huge chunk of the things we got after Delgados passing sad as it was.
Never knew about the 'Final Game' - it would've been fun if they went down the corporeal dark side of the Doctor route (like Dr Jekyl and Mister Hyde). Great show - and somehow you managed to pick my favourite clips.
He did Comedy in the 1960s. Two examples are his roles in the 1966 film, `The Sandwich Man` and a 1968 episode of `Harry` one of the Harry Worth series.
To be fair. The “Missy” incarnation was fun.. liked the chemistry based on the “history?” Also. My wife told me she had head teacher known to her as “the master.” Freaked her out a little at the time.. regarding this era of Doctor Who.
I do say the disguise the Master,s TARDIS took in Terror of the Autons as a pale blue Lorry for transporting horses was awesome and as a pale green computer tape deck it was also awesome and at numerous times diguised as a tall black longcase clock in the Deadly Assassin and the Keeper of Traken was also awesome too and given how much the Master,s TARDIS has a fully working chameleon circuit and also working steering mechanism too it does not ever suffer from the 2 main defects the Doctors TARDIS does like a motorcar that constantly keeps breaking down and going into the garage for constant repairs .
Roger Delgado was a legend no master has come close to him. No one has bettered him Feel only Sasha Dawson had been the only one capturing his brilliance.just to mention think I’m one of the new comics they mentioned how he had been burned and how he become a decayed master.
I would have loved to see The Final Game produced. It would have been so awesome 😃 Romana is one of the greatest! Had a crush on Romana II for the longest time
Delgado may have been the first timelord to carry the name the Master, but the character is clearly modeled around another villain called the War Chief from final story of the 2nd doctor The War Games shown in 1969.
I will say Jamie that Roger Delgado had he lived longer might have had the chance to appear in sci-fi series, Blake,s Seven and also he would no doubt have been cast as a villain and he would have done really well in that series had he been still with us. I also say it is a shame the Master did not feature in Dr Who for the 1st and 2nd Doctors eras but we had 2 different Time lords the Monk and the War Chief who many fans claim are earlier proto Masters but I am not sure I agree with that Myself. I also say that Time Lord villain the Valeyard, was IMO a much bigger and to some extent more interesting villain and character than the Master and also the Valeyard IMO was more dangerous a villain than the Master given what the Master stated that the Valeyard was a darker version of the Doctor himself and between his 12th and final incarnations.
I do say jamie in Roger Delgados final story Frontier in Space I read that his allies were to, have been originally the Cybermen instead of the Ogrons and also the idea got scrapped because Terry Nation the Dalek creator refused to allow his creation to appear in a story with other returning villains like the Cybermen, or Ice Warriors with the master they were his bosses in that story although he really is using them like they use him.
Thank you so very much, and kudos on your Delgado Mistress. Love it, Delgado was one of a kind, you embody his spirit. I could well imagine you uttering his most famous line from Terror of the Autons. Delgado would have a deliciously wicked smile at your homage to him. Thank you again
I say Jamie have you ever seen sci-fi series, Blake,s Seven from the late 70s to early 80s and it is awesome to see and react to if you have not ever seen Blake,s Seven.
I do say Jamie have you ever seen or heard of a classic a science fiction series called Blake,s Seven which ran from the late 70s to the early 80s and there was a female arch-villain called Servalan in it and she like the Master was very villainous and also like the Master, the Cybermen, the Daleks, the Ice Warriors and also even the Sontarans used and discarded people who worked with her .
Firstly, let me say how much I loved seeing that my favorite Master was being given some affection. Then, let me gently point out that your pronunciation of several words was incorrect. Suave is pronounced swav not swavey, etc. That was really the only mar on your otherwise excellent video. Giving words a quick google to check pronunciation is what I do when I'm not certain. Also - Jon Pertwee and he were best friends in real life and Jon got Roger the job of the Master.
Can we take a moment to acknowledge what a cool name Roger Delgado is?
His full name is even cooler:
Roger Caesar Marius Bernard de Delgado Torres Castillo Roberto
@@Benjiesbeenbetter.
Seriously? Wow, that's a mouthful.

Imagine you are going to kitchen to eat breakfast and The Master is there, damn this is 1 in 1 billion

its a shame and how roger delgado died in 1973 he was the best master and pertwee from my era
Awesome seeing love and respect for the classic series!!!

Roger Delgado knew how to act. He could act menacingly without resorting to physical display of violence.
Roger played Hugh Conrad, a newspaper journalist in the 1955 BBC series Quatermass II.
Often Imitated, never duplicated. Roger was the standard by which all versions of the Master are measured. Still my fave even after almost 60 years.
Love the content!! Subscribed

The original and in my humble opinion still the best incarnation of the master. No one was as menacing as Roger...
He did Comedy in the 1960s. Two examples are his roles in the 1966 film, `The Sandwich Man` and a 1968 episode of `Harry` one of the Harry Worth series.
The Master Delgado was such a great character!!!
He was so perfectly cast. Such a shame that modern era just aimed to make the characters like Mr Mxyzptlk crossed with the Joker...

My favourite Master is John Simm as he was the first Master i saw when i was a child

Love it!!!!!!! And I’m the crazy dude they are talking about!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
I would have loved to see The Final Game produced. It would have been so awesome 😃
Romana is one of the greatest! Had a crush on Romana II for the longest time
What a great summary of the late great roger Delgado. Good job. You can really see your passion for the master
Delgado may have been the first timelord to carry the name the Master, but the character is clearly modeled around another villain called the War Chief from final story of the 2nd doctor The War Games shown in 1969.
I am the Master. You will obey me!... Classic!
Doctor who the final game was made into an audio fan drama it was really good

70's Missy 🔥

Still the best Master.

Loving your female Master hair and outfit! A real homage to the Delgado look!
❤❤❤
I don't care what anyone says, that is _the_ greatest first scene of any character ever.
Mim and Sims are my favourite s
Interesting RF stuff on RD👍🎩
Love your cosplay version.
Are you going to do the ainley master
@@akshaytrayner1960 Yes! We will eventually get to him and all the others!
@@timeladyjamie awesome because ainley and Delgado are my fave’s

Daemons is pronounced dee-mons,despite the spelling 🎩
