dude the fact that the Master was behind EVERYTHING in series 8 of classic who is just so iconic of him. the doc and the brig where getting tired of his shit
technically missy was behind the modern s8 too! so maybe the master like the number 8 huh
If i had a nickle for everytime one of the two best incarnations of the master controlled an overaching series/season plot that was the eight of its respective era, if have two nickles. which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice @b1rthfl0w3r
I never thought I'd see the fantastic Derek Jacobi appear together with a golden tooth 😂
An irresistible prospect!! 🤣
The fact that all season 8 features The Master, no surprise that Pertwee has more stories. I love that Derek Jacobi was The Master because it was such a great twist when I first watched it!
It's quite refreshing out of Matt smith 4 years he never encountered an incarnation of the master and more out of the box villains and love that Capaldi faces the first female incarnation of the master too
Yes, the four year absence made the Master’s return in 2014 all the more impactful!
Though Missy was the reason Clara met the Doctor, closest 11 got to the Master
@@rhodrage Absolutely! She was there all along, behind the scenes… 👀
@@rhodrage would've loved a sneaky filmed scene bells of st John for missy tease
I wonder what the Master would be like if they showed up in the Smith era. I’d like to think he’d be a very calculating manipulator arranging his actions to cause maximum damage, which would absolutely drive the Doctor mad in any incarnation, but would be a perfect foil to 11 specifically.
Utopia should really be included along with Last of the Time Lords/ Sound of Drums as one story
You could say so… it’s a matter of personal preference though. Plus, if I had counted them as one story, Tennant would have had fewer Master stories than Tom Baker, which doesn’t seem right.
@@StetsonDoctorthe complete history book series counts them as separate stories, so I think you can get away with it.
@@TediousMilkshake Yes, I think I’ve always thought of them as such! But I’m aware that some people view it as a three parter.
I didn't realise that Delgado still makes up 1/3 of the Master runtime
He appeared in every episode for an entire season so no surprise
When I saw the end of the giggle put on there as an appearance I was like nooo Richard! So happy you said you counted the tooth 😂
Had to be done! 🤣
@@StetsonDoctor absolutely, I just thought that you meant the hand was the master and I was like Richard we don’t know that yet 😂
Can't wait for the Big finish audio series starring the gold tooth master.
We won't mention the Big Finish range where the number of times each Doctor has encountered a Master is *constantly* growing xD
Which Doctor could have used more Master appearances? The Third Doctor, ironically. The Three Doctors should have had the Master, The Green Death had a Master fake out when the Doctor probably thought he was behind the insane plot, Planet of the Daleks had a Master sized whole in the story, Planet of the Spiders needed the planned "ending" for the Master, Invasion of the Dinosaurs could have used the Master to be the one behind the ones behind the plot....
It would probably be easier to name Third Doctor stories that didn't need the Master or have space for him.
The first Master story I ever saw was "Time-Flight". Come to think of it, "Time-Flight" was also the first Target Doctor Who novelisation I ever read. One of the people who worked on Doctor Who (Barry Letts I think) did admit that the Master was a bit over-used in the Jon Pertwee era. Because he appeared in five consecutive stories, people were starting to look for him. Though in "Colony In Space" he didn't actually appear until Episode Four. Even when the Master apparently dies ("Planet of Fire") he somehow manages to reappear. As the Master said, "I'm indestructible, the whole universe knows that." John Nathan-Turner said something about the Master being the equivalent of Professor Moriarty. That seems to be a fair comparison.
Now I see why people say Pertweed/Delgado and Capidi/Gomaz have the best stories/dynamic
Missy was practically a companion in series 10 lol
Add the mind robber just for the giggles for "a master" if not the master
While watching the show all at once, I like when the Master doesn't appear for a little while. But now that I've watched the entire show, I'm almost desperate to have them back lol. But I love the classic Masters. The new ones are quite chaotic in comparison and that's a lot of fun but they feel like different characters to Delgado's or Ainley's colder, more calculating interpretations. Anyway, I'm excited to see what happens with the gold tooth and who gets cast in the future!
It is just jon pertwee his battles with Roger Delgado are legendary
Before watching.. I assume Pertwee. And if it’s not Pertwee, it’s Pertwee.
5 minutes to hear what we already knew- the 3rd Doctor had the most Master stories. Makes sense that 12 had the most appearances tho, she was near enough a companion by series 10
It does make sense, but is not the sort of thing you’d immediately realise. That’s what the video is for! 😀
A Masterful upload!
Quite a masterful video :P
LEGITIMATELY WAS HYPED FOR THIS VIDEO
OMFG
YAYA
This is sick 11 needed a master 😢
However 12 was amazing with the master
well matt smith wants to play the master so lets do thst
He encountered him in some of the comics, if you’re interested 👀
So did Nine.
@@potsdam28 personally don’t think he needed one in that series but like definitely if he did another series
I think the only real;y two surprises for me. First was how present the Master was during Davison's era. I've watched all of the classic series but it never really sunk in for me how much Ainley was actually around in that span. Then second, and kinda related, was that Ainley has more appearances than Delgado. It makes complete sense when i reconsider how much I'd not taken in how present he was for Divison's era, but still surprising to have it pointed out given I'm so used to thinking of Delgado as being so present for Pertwee and THE Master in a lot of respects. Ainley I think of more as showing up once or twice for each of the later classic Doctors.
Yup, they were two of the most surprising things for me too! Looking at the bigger picture always brings interesting things up.
The return of a great series! Wonder what's next? the weeping angels? the great intelligence? Whatever next I can't wait for more.
Weeping Angels are definitely on the list! Stay tuned… 👀
*This video is an excellent example of the amount of work that a RUclipsr sometimes does to put out a video!*
3020 Master story minutes! WOW 😲
Richard, using the analysis research time you took to create this video, would you be able to tell us how long it would take you to do the same thing for the appearances of the Daleks? If that is even possible with the Doctor's Number One nemesis over 60 years...
Thank you for the work you did on this video!
Thank you! I did the Daleks back in 2022, but it's slightly out of date, as we didn't know then that they'd be back for The Power of the Doctor! ruclips.net/video/J8Fu8oerfJI/видео.html
Jodie would now tie with Hartnell and Smith as having the most Dalek appearances (6) and would be second only to Hartnell for the most Dalek stories (4; I'd count The Power of the Doctor as a Dalek story rather than cameo).
In terms of runtime, the Master has the most (Daleks have 2870 if you include Power; Cyberman have 1810).
@@StetsonDoctor thank you for the specific link! I too was surprised at only 27 stories about Daleks even though that video is almost 2 years old now. Is this your own list of stories and cameos? Or is there an online database (like Wikipedia, maintained by fan contribution) you can access to do the analysis? Either way kudos for the amount of time and effort you put into these videos. They're fascinating and I look forward to the next one. (I also left a comment on that video.)
I assume Pertwee without watching.
I think we need a break from The Master. Him not being around during Smith’s era gave them room to breathe for their own creative stories and blew everyone away when she came back as Missy with Capaldi
Since they bring back previous Doctors I’d like to see Eric Roberts return as The Master.
Might I suggest, for future videos in this series:
Weeping angels
Timelords (non master)
Multi doctor stories
Davros
Ice warriors
Real historical figures
I adore this series, and I know there isn't much left to do! But I want you to keep it aslong as possible!
Great suggestions, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying. Keen to do as many as I can!
I'd argue that the ultimate foe is also just a cameo. He just appears on a TV screen and give some exposition. The Valeard is the villain
We see him in his TARDIS too, with Glitz! But I get where you're coming from - it's not a particularly substantial appearance.
@StetsonDoctor I forgot about that, honestly I don't rewatch trial of a time lord very often
@@Sherlocklord Me neither! 😂 I read the novelisation for The Ultimate Foe last year, so it was fresh in my memory. Otherwise I doubt I’d have remembered!
I'd have counted Utopia/Sound of Drums and Last of the Timelords as 1 story tbh
If you count it like that, the Tenth Doctor joins the Sixth at two Master stories each. The appearances/runtime rankings remain unaffected.
The best incarnation of the master is *the gold tooth*
5 , i believe cause Simm is Saxon Master, Dwahan is Spy Master , delgado is original Master and Ainley is just overused Master
considering for how long Ainley played the master, i was expecting him to have more appearances.
I guess he had the longest tenure, didn’t he? Eight years (1981 to 1989; longer if you include Destiny of the Doctors). And he appeared alongside the most Doctors. They all win in their own ways!
I think you missed 2 John Simm cameos. He was in TWEAT and TDF alongside Michelle Gomez.
As a Doctor who fan, I REALLY need doctor who fans to stop abbreviating episode titles. Number 1: I have no idea wtf you're talking about and number 2: im a bird tweat tweat b*tches 3: tuat. TUAT. there's no way when I see that I think "oh twice upon a time, yeah." lmao.
No, they’re there! The video categorises the Master stories by Doctor, so the Series 10 finale counts as Twelfth Doctor story. Then for the ranking at the end, which categorises them by Master, it appears for both Simm and Gomez.
Nice video. Can you do one on which doctor had the most companies, please.
It’s on the list of ones to do!
@@StetsonDoctor I hope you'll distinguish between "proper" Companions (Jamie, Sarah, Rose etc), honorary ones (Wilf, Captain Jack, River) and "supporting characters" (like Katarina, the Brigadier and Adam)
@@ftumschk This is one of the first things I’ll need to work out! Current plan is to do a ranking of full time companions, then one that includes one-offs, then maybe one that also includes recurring characters (e.g. the Brigadier, and I’d put River in this category too).
@@StetsonDoctor Sounds good!
@@ftumschk Though rather confusingly, by that logic, River would count as a recurring character for Smith and a one-off companion for Capaldi… They don’t make this easy for us 😂
Now do it including all expanded media appearances. 😈
😭😂
Just wondering, what did you use to make your charts in the the video? Y'know the charts with the Doctors at the bottom and their Master stories above each one, how did you make those?
They’re basically just Excel spreadsheets! I make/crop the icons separately, then drop them in.
@@StetsonDoctor thank you, I appreciate your reply!
Three.
wasn’t Ainley in 11 stories from Traken to survival if you include Cameo in Caves of Androzani
Oh yes! I'd remembered him as just playing Tremas in Traken, but he does appear as the Master right at the end, doesn't he?
@@StetsonDoctor yes
My mistake! Yes, it should be 11 stories for Ainley. So just one fewer than Gomez!
I'm a little confused how many incarnations of the master are there. Some of them look far to similar to been different regenerations.
It’s a point of contention between fans… The Master was actually on his final regeneration when we first met him, so Roger Delgado is technically the 13th Master. Everything after that is either a stolen body or extra regeneration. The two Decayed Masters technically count as one, and some view them as an older version of the Delgado incarnation. But then, some also view Decayed through to Eric Roberts as one incarnation, just with different bodies. It’s all a bit confusing! But I’d probably say eight personally (Delgado, Pratt/Beevers, Ainley, Roberts, Jacobi, Simm, Gomez, Dhawan).
Thank you for answering.🙏
What happened to weeping angels? 😂
It’s on the way! 👀
roger delgado did not appear in all of those eps accoring to imdb he was in 37 out of 43 as he doesnt appear right away colony in space e3 onwards thats the cliffhanger
Yes, I accept that. The runtime ranking is only approximate; it would be impossible for me to go through every single story and work out how many parts he's in, or how many minutes he's on-screen for! But even if you do take those eps off, Delgado still comes out on top.
@@StetsonDoctor but he's in 37 out of 43, anthony ainley 28 eps that includes him being the voice in logopolis for 2 eps
i knew the 3rd doctor would win straight away
As much as I love roger delgado as the master, his use in series 8 made that series a bit tiresome when watching through. You can have too much of a good thing sometimes.
I think a simple 'Which Master had the most Screentime' would have been better and easier.
Did you watch the video? I do a runtime ranking too!
3rd easily
I nicknamed my former cat Missy but she died a month ago
RIP 💙💙
that's sad :(
the correct answer is third doctor classic who
The third
No big finish? What a disappointment
Mate, there are a LOT of Big Finish stories, and only so many hours in the day... 😂 Perhaps I'll do an updated version at some point!
You can’t really count missy. She’s missy not the master.
Huh? It’s the same character!
u do realise that the master that was last seen before Jodie’s regeneration was a copy as the master before those scenes said it’s a clone and 13th Doctor even said something about his clone
No, this is literally wrong
The master from Jodie's era is the Lumiat, before Missy died she created a version of herself using... something, I don't remember the name... that created something with all the good from her, this thing was called the Lumiat, who eventually meets a previous Missy, who kills her, regenerates into Sacha, goes to Galifrey, finds out about the Timeless Child, goes crazy and turns evil again
@@novawolf_gaming no I meant in power of the Doctor and I meant the wizard looking version of 13th’s master being a clone that the master created
@Legendary3Dgamer ... No it still isn't, it's just the Master from a separate timeline or rather a different point in the timeline
The 7th Doctor faced the Master in the TV movie beginning. So shouldn't he get two??
He only appears as the remains in the urn and snakey thing that briefly slithers around the TARDIS (if I remember correctly?). I guess you could say that counts. Up for debate!
I think either 3 or 4
The Third Doctor, definitely. Roger Delgado appeared in more than any of the others and solely with Jon Pertwee. He also appeared in one of the TV Action comic strips drawn by Gerry Haylock called The Glen Of Sleep.
How could it be 4 when he only had 3 master stories
@@matleb8491 Quite! The Deadly Assassin, The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis.
And Baker only had two Dalek stories also I believe.
@matleb8491 no need to be nasty It was a guess I'm still working through watching 4th
3rd.
I think The Master is a lot like the Joker to Batman... But sadly like the Joker I think we've seen too much of them now.. be nice to have some other time lord menaces about no? I don't know why they never bothered with any of the others. Rani, The Monk etc
Isn't Eric Roberts' Master the same incarnation as Anthony Ainley's and that one is the same incarnation as Decayed while the rest on here are individual incarnations?
Yeah, to clarify, I was simply categorising it by actor here. But strictly speaking, some of the actors count as the same incarnation. Trouble is, it then becomes a bit of a minefield 😂 E.g. you could say that Pratt/Beevers are technically older versions of Delgado. But then, you could also say that Decayed through to Roberts is all one incarnation, just with different bodies (I think this is what Big Finish suggests).
Bot watched the video yet, but I say either 3 or 12.
Sound predictions!
If you included the tooth, shouldn't you also add the ring!
The ring appeared in stories that the Master himself appeared in (that are covered here), whereas the tooth did not 😀
Third.
Who else!

the five doctors as multiple incarnations of the doctor does this count for additional appearance for the master for the previous four doctors.
I suppose you could say so, since they interact with him briefly in the Dark Tower!
Bi-regeneration and recycling of faces it does allow for onscreen appearances by any of the actors as incarnations we have yet to meet - although it also opens the way for a way around the IP/Trademark conflicts that surround the character of the Rani - we've had the forced regeneration transference between the Master and 13 (i admit at the time I assumed that would lead to the Valeyard) we know the Rani was an amoral scientist who was working on things Whoniverse analogue of Marvel's High Evolutionary and that all three renegades were friends whilst at the Academy on Gallifrey.
This is how things were and remained so even after the Time War
we know that classic Who's Triumvirate (Rassilon/Omega/The Other) has become the ROT (Rassilon, Omega, Tecteun) thanks to the jigsaw and fiddling about by the Toymaker. How about a new iteration of the hybrid story - I present to you Missy Ranister, fond of red lippy and nail polish, not evil but deffo antihero material. Genetic splicing of the Master's DNA with the Rani, who married a Mr Flood at some point and is making sure her best friend's life actually happensas best as it can because there is remorse for the disaster that a previous less evolved selves caused.
One metric you didn't consider: what percentage of a given Doctor's stories were Master stories? The 8th Doctor probably wins, as his number of televised stories is rather low.
Also, wouldn't the "5 Doctors" also count towards the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Doctors totals?
And thank you for skipping the Ruth-less False Doctor.
Counting specifically by each doctors era, 8th has a resounding 100% master participation rate, becuase he had exactly one televised story in his era
@@c.jhamblin5759 I'm not sure if "The Night of the Doctor" counts or not.
