"You're insane!" Master: 👍😂👍

I wish we could’ve seen David Tennant’s Doctor and John Simm’s Master interact more, they truly did feel like antagonistic rivals.

I love how his music really sounds like the inside of an unhinged mind. Those sounds, and the ways it'll get calm then suddenly intense then suddenly calm again, or one part will break in and cut off another part... someone really sat down to decide what pure madness sounded like, and nailed it. Parts of this give me chills.

You see, funny, is like this. :D Not funny, is like this. >(

John Simm was, and still is, my favourite version of the Master. I'm glad he came back for the Series 10 finale.

The Master may be gone, but his hearts still beats. The hearts that everyone shall hear which cannot be forgotten by that sound. The Melody of Insanity, the Rhythm of Madness, The Sound of Drums

I had finally gotten over my habit of tapping my fingers like the master... then I saw today's episode.

coming back after todays ep!! heheheh

The Maestro briefly playing the iconic beats hit me like a Nuclear Winter.

The way the music just screams manic is perfect along with the drumming theme that is incorporated in his character. It all just sounds and fits so perfectly for him.

'I am the Master. You will obey me.'

"YOU'RE INSANE!" "👍😂👍"

I miss this Master.

VOTE SAXON

That feel when you're listening and 0:47 happens and you're like WHERE THE FUCK DID TAHT COME FROM THIS IS EVEN COOLER THAN I THOUGHT

NEVER, NEVER DIE, NEVER DIE, NEVER DIE. CANT YOU HEAR THEM LUCY? THE DRUMS, LOUDER THAN EVER BEFORE. OHHHH I HAVE MISSED THEM

Just watched Spyfall Pt.1 and the teaser for part 2. Had to put this on. The Master's back.

petition for doctor who spinoff master who

He walks among us, our Lord and Master.

(s)he's back! :D

weird fact: everybody wants to know The Doctor's name but not The Master's name. Edit: guys, I know it's Koschei now, please, this was a comment I made as a joke nine years ago when I was a dumb teenager, you don't need to reply anymore. I don't even care for Doctor Who anymore, I just find the Nazi trashcans to be neat.

I know it might sound weird, but no matter how bad The Master was, I LOVED HIM. I don't know why but I just really liked him!

36 regenerations of the doctor disliked this video

They'd better play this at full blast when John Simm shows up this weekend

I love how the composers made the theme songs of characters echo their personalities so perfectly. Both the masters theme and the doctors theme are a mix between orchestra and synth tones. Personally, I think these two aspects represent the ancient time lord and moderner/younger genius in each of them. While they both posses these orchestral and synth sounds, they each use them in very different ways. The doctors theme is haunting and mysterious, but also exciting and upbeat (just like the doctor and the show respectively). It uses these feelings with a steady tempo and range to endlessly intrigue, making it feel like it’s hovering in the air around you. The masters theme is simply chaotic. It cuts off and changes itself, leaping gaps of volume and a speed when you least expect it. It’s energetic but it’s also scary, jumping in you face from silence. Again, energetic but scary is this version of the master. Great songs

Hearing this and the war master’s theme i can’t help but think this is what doctor who’s main theme sounds like in the master’s head. Once a theme of hope and adventure with a dash of mystery turned into a twisted mind game full of destruction and despair. This theme captures the master’s character so well it would probably even fit most of the classic masters as well. Mainly Anthony Ainley’s master.

For the master, after watching his episode appearances, the words crazy, psycho, insane, nuts. All an understatement.

SPOILER I love how they used a bit of this tune in Dark Water. If you listen carefully It's there when they encounter Missy the first time.

This theme is literally the musical equivalent of insanity, perfect for this character.

the sound of his insanity

Hello...Missy... I'm the Master... And I'm very worried about my Future...

This makes me feel evil >:D

WELCOME BACK MASTER!!!!

I'm scared. For my whole life, I've been tapping the beat with my fingers, before I even knew Doctor Who existed. HELP MEH

HERE COME THE DRUMS!!!!

John Simms was the best master for me this theme was a combination of awesome and scariest shit, perfect Insider for his performance

I really do prefer John Simm as the Master.

I really like the use of 12/8 time. It sounds like straight four, but has too many eighth notes, and creates that subtle sense of wrong-ness that is the Master's main characteristic. Because really, the Master is the Doctor with just one tiny bit out of alignment. And that is why he is so scary. He is what the Doctor could be if he pushes himself too hard.

'Give us a kiss.'

_can you hear it?_

Sound's like a ww2 tension in a comedy film.

The drums, another thing that would made me freak out if i saw a lot of people doing it real life é_é

The theme of Brexit

here come the drums 🔔🔔🔔🔔,👽👾💀,👏👏👏👏

Politician: what is that? Master: *MUFFLED* it’s a gas mask Politician: I beg your pardon? Master: it’s a gas mask Politician: yes umm...why are you wearing it Master: *MUFFLED* because of the gas Politician: I’m sorry? Master: because of the gas! Politician: what gas? Master: *MUFFLED* this gas *Cabinet room starts choking to death* Politician: YOUR INSANE!!! Master:👍😂👍 *entire room drops silent and all you could hear was a madman tapping the table four times continually* The Sound of Drums 2007

1:11 I live for the violins in this theme

The Master is the best Doctor Who villain. Nuf sed...

"I am the Dark Lord, The Master! And I've come to wreck misery and terror on this world! And I'm starting with you, people of Greenhorne!" - Dark Lord The Master, 2021

in 2021,I'm here.

3:04 Should've played during the Doctor's reaction when he learns who Missy is.

Has anyone else noticed that yellow is kind of the Master's signature colour? I mean, he returned in Utopia, which was full of yellowish lighting; the yellow light from the Chameleon Arch brought him back; his weapon of choice in Utopia was a wire sparking with yellow electricity; In LOTTL it was Laser Screwdriver which shot a yellow laser; the deck of the Valiant where he made his lair had yellow floors; in End of Time he had blonde hair... and Series 3 in general had a very yellow-orange look.

_“Doctor, I did say ‘Look for the spymaster’ - or should I say, Spy… Master!”_

This sounds like a mix between John Williams' work and Murray Gold to me

Give us a kiss.

I hope they still keep this theme for the Master in season 10 , I love it.

The Doctor told Missy she couldn't hear the music. The Master was too busy hearing the drums.

I adore this incarnation of The Master. He is fantastic. Just fanTASTIC!!

I love how mischievous this sounds.

John simm is just too cute to play the master

Sometimes, old enemies come with new faces

Murray Gold was essentially the John Williams of Doctor Who. I will miss his presence.

"you are not alone"

Who came back after the season 10 episode ?

MASTER: DOCTOR YOU ARE GONA DIE!!!! DOCTOR:Master! Its for you! For your birthday!! MASTER: For me? I hated you but now I love you. Thanks Doctor!! DOCTOR: Its nothing Master: whats that? DOCTOR: Its a drum!!

I love how in this music you can hear screams and a plane descending at certain moments it just adds to the chaos which fits the master so well.

I love the master he's amazing he's scary he's threatening he's insane and that's amazing even the music for him describes him amazingly I feel like his threat level would be very close to the daleks

Just to clarify the regen rules a little: Rassilon imposed a rule of 12 regenerations only (meaning 13 lives), because the process has a tendency to get a little glitchy after that. However, it has been shown that regeneration energy, and as such regenerations can be given or even taken. For instance, the Master tricked the council into giving him an extra regeneration, and also attempted to steal the Eighth Doctor's remaining regenerations in the movie (but being thrown into the Eye of Harmony instead, presumably being time displaced all the way to the end of time before the Doctor found him again). In other words, regenerations can be given to Time Lords past number 12. All he has to do is earn them. For instance, he could easily have received extra from River Song when she revived him, or he may receive extra as part of a reward for finding Gallifrey which he saved during the Day of the Doctor. Who knows. Anyway, Moffat has said he's working on a good way to work extra regenerations into the plot, so there's no need to worry. It seems unlikely that the Doctor will ever at any one point have "infinite regenerations."

TONIGHT YA'LL READY FOR THE DRUMS?

"Well… couldn’t very well keep calling myself the Master, now, could I?"

i like his blonde s4 self more

I like John Simm as the insane Master but I wish we got more of Derek Jacobi too, he was menacing af. Hopefully he returns in series 11?

Why do I hear Pokémon Colosseum/XD and Wizard of Oz in there?

I did have this old theory that I had when I was about 11 years old. It's that Eric Robert's Master from the Doctor Who TV movie and Derek Jacobi's Master from Utopia are the same Master. Because when Eric Robert's Master got sucked into the eye of harmony, he seemingly "died", but the time lords resurrected him to fight in the time war. When he fled to the end of the universe, he turned himself into a human while still as Eric Robert's Master. While as a human, he aged into Derek Jacobi's Master before opening the watch, and turning back into a time lord. Again, it's outdated because it was made before the audio drama's with Derek Jacobi's master, but I thought it was a pretty interesting theory back then.

Had to listen to this in Music Theory, immediately tapped along :) Seriously though this is a seriously amazing piece of music, the way Murray Gold composes, so that every time a viewer hears a certain theme they remember a certain character. I think a reason why the 'new Who' (2005 onwards) is so popular is because of Murray Gold's fantastic music! :) :)

I'm so glad that he's back

HAHAHAHA! Beautiful music!!

"a hero's a hero,but everyone loves a good villain" -Ferb

Guess whose back, Back again, The Master's back, And round the bend,

I like him cause he's the joker for the doctor's batman, in a way. And he has a killing backstory too, the actors who portrayed him have been masterfull in their acting.

Missy was fucking awesome, they should have played this music in Death in Heaven.

I never did get to see any of the other incarnations of the master, but upon seeing this one, I have to say he did an epic job. evil, cunning, sly and damned devious

Missy needs this theme in her life. Its sort of stuck to John Simm the way "I am the Doctor" is stuck to Matt Smith, but I think this scene would work well for all of the Masters. Somebody could make an edit of Roger Delgado's scenes with this music even.

IKR. He, Loki, and Doctor Doom are like my favorite male villains ever!

To this day I'm still tapping.

Brilliant piece by Murray Gold. I wonder who we made it for? *(knowing chuckle)*

He is returning.... The never ending drums

the master will always return, as long as the Doctor lives, he is never the only Time lord.

This song played in my head when I found out that season 4 of ponies and Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special were both premiering on the same day.

This is what tinnitus does to you…

End of the Universe! Have Fun! BYE BYE!

For some reason I found myself tapping four times, over and over, like a Time Lords's heartbeat.

This Master was the best antagonist i ever see.

Ironic the master saved the earth by blocking the time lords invasion

So who came here to celebrate after hearing the news? Please let them play this music when he returns...

the drums the never ending drums.

This song nobody's the master in the inside head fragile and broken and the outside he acts untouchable and imortall

All Whovians! Listen to this!

All masters are the best in my opinion but I love john simm

THE MASTER... reborn. That is a bone chilling line when I first heard it.

He is the best of best
