[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]I see I'm not the only one who was a bit disappointed by John Simm's take on the character. I'd been looking forward to him being in Who, especially after the brilliance of Life on Mars, but I preferred Derek Jacobi's professor to John Simm's needlessly manic(and a bit camp really) Master. [/QUOTE]Camp? I thought the master was supposed to be camp. I mean my only clear memory of the character is from that TV movie from the 90's and he was screamingly camp - big collar, evil laugh, the lot. I have a vague memory of the old master fencing with the Worzel Gummidge Doctor and acting very camp, so it all seams to have been part of the character from the get go. From what I can see he's meant to be an odd combination of Moriarty and Ming The Merciless, which just camp city. [QUOTE]I'm sure they were. That's what annoys me. It'd be nice if, say, the Master had his own personality. Rather than just being an evil version of the current Doctor.[/QUOTE]I think the point of it was more to show that he was a Timelord (hence identical regeneration effects) than to draw any specific parallels with the Doctor. Having said that, he is the "Arch Nemesis" and that usually means evil twin, at least in terms of character. [/QB][/QUOTE]
