Funniest part about that, Simm originally auditioned for a role in Doctor Who to impress his kid, who was (and maybe still is) a MASSIVE Who fan....and then he ended up finding his own character's episodes so creepy and disturbing that he wouldn't let his kid watch them when they first came out.
As silly and unhinged as the master is, what I love most is his expression after everyone in the room is already dead, as he taps his 1 2 3 4. The look in his eye is him being consumed by the insanity producing sound, unable to escape it.
Despite what people say, love John Simm's one of my favorite Master actors along with Geoffrey Beevers, Alex Maqueen, Derek Jacobi, and Michelle Gomez.
Always! The beat is so catchy and ever since watching this episode of doctor who years ago its been stuck in my head to this very day since 2013, ten years of drums lol
The 13th doctor phase brought some of that camp back and was hated because of it, but this series had the perfect balance between seriousness and camp. Camp didn’t ruin the serious moments and they blended with each other seamlessly at times. The clip here exemplifies said balance.
I've only just realised that this is the same room from Aliens of London/ World War 3, the one where they hide in the cupboard, despite it being blown up
I love this scene but I always wondered how the Master got rid of the bodies of the politicians he’s just gassed to death while there’s other politicians within the building?
@@lumpyloppy with risk of sounding like a nerd, that only made its reappearance in the 13th doctor era. The laser screwdriver was more his thing. I mean, Missy had an device that had the same thing.
I like to imagine that if Star Wars adapted Admiral Daala's conference at Tsoss Beacon, it would be like this, but with the Imperial March blaring out instead.
Arguably all of The Masters are insane but John Simm's was the one who went all of the way with it; technically all of them heard the drumming but Simm said 'this drumming is driving me insane and I'm sick of pretending otherwise!'
Fuckin love john Simm honestly, but I always see his roles as extensions to Sam Tyler from Life on Mars, as if he has just become more and more delusional
At 1:32 the top of the mask has a symbol then at 1:34 its on the bottom before he covers it with his hand. I mean really, like we wouldn't notice. BROVO BBC.
I didn’t notice until I saw the mistake myself. That’s one of the problems with shooting every scene from one camera, you have to pay close attention to every detail or else there will be inconsistencies, which are bound to occur under the radar sometimes.
Stolen Earth/Journey's End: imagine if Rose, Mickey and Jackie asked: so, what happened to Harold Saxon guys? Doctor, Martha and Jack Harkness: Oh yeah, you went to parallel earth still knowing who Harold Saxon was before history got rewritten 🤷♂️
Why would Saxon decide to kill the other ministers if they helped him win and rise to power? is it just because Saxon is cruel, or to punish the ministers?
Well if you were mad and have a plan to take over the world and have complete control over everything, and one of the onlI political obstacles in your way is your own cabinet (who will clearly oppose your plan) then wouldn't you take them out?
I think it's something like 'How can I trust you if your own parties can't trust you?' that and he probably didn't need them and just wanted an excuse to kill them.
"I don't think I'm making myself clear. Funny is like this: 😁, NOT funny is like this: 😠. Right now, I'm not like 😁, I'm like 😠because you are traitors. Yes, YOU ARE."
This is wrong. Stop whining. I can’t handle all this whiny society. You’re whining over fiction, not real life So what I say to everyone who’s a part of this whiny society, get a girlfriend/boyfriend
I didn’t! I hope the editors were like “fuck it they won’t notice” bc I commend them for their ballsy-ness, since it did work. We indeed didn’t notice. :p
The Master: You say that my hair is technically dark brown such as yours technically black but me and and the Doctor are friends back then before we became enemies.
Yes. John Simms as the riddler without the stupid voice filter and sack hat. The one with the question mark suit. Please. Either that or David tenant, heard he was actually considered for the role in one of the older films.
The master did some messed up stuff in these episodes but he did also kill a room full of british cabinet ministers. He can't be all bad.
Say what you will about Hitler, but he did kill Hitler
🤣🤣🤣
Harold Saxon is actually a likely choice of name for an alien posing as a British person, as the last Saxon king of England was called Harold
resqwec Second to last actually but I see your point.
Kyle Netherwood Edgar Aetheling was never crowned and was only king in name
resqwec Personally, I count him as one, along with Empress Matilda.
Well Harold II was the last crowned Saxon king of England then
resqwec Fair enough
"YOU'RE INSANE!"
[dies as Master does 2 thumbs up]
One of my fave moments
Vote saxon
Vote Saxon
Vote Saxon
Using a telephone network to convince people to vote for him and creeping into public life is something the master would do
He really gave it his all in every performance as the Master.
Yeah he really did. He did such a good job as The Master. I miss him as The Master.
Funniest part about that, Simm originally auditioned for a role in Doctor Who to impress his kid, who was (and maybe still is) a MASSIVE Who fan....and then he ended up finding his own character's episodes so creepy and disturbing that he wouldn't let his kid watch them when they first came out.
I love his master everything a master should be
Simm's facial expressions tho XD. So glad he's coming back.
“YOU’RE INSANE!”
👍👍👍👍👍
*You're
of course! TL team leaders just straight up go insane. A fine line between genius and insanity
What I love about John Simm’s Master is he is both funny and scary
I just realized when that dying politician said, "You're Insane!" To the Master, he not only gave him 2 thumbs up but also yelled, "I Know!"😂😂😂
lol
As silly and unhinged as the master is, what I love most is his expression after everyone in the room is already dead, as he taps his 1 2 3 4. The look in his eye is him being consumed by the insanity producing sound, unable to escape it.
Let the work of government begin. *Throws papers in the air* lol
I don't get the joke. Isn't that how government's work?
@@yolo-sy6zl 2 years on, I can compare this scene to Boris johnson's/trump's handling of covid-19. Pretty accurate tbh
@@Kazavop Not exactly, the Master didn't hand out any billions to his Ministers neighbours and Party donors.
@@MrThorfan64 true haha
That's actually very proactive compared to how most Governments usually "work"
John Simm as the Master was the most genius decision ever made. Thank you RTD for the golden age of Doctor Who.
Boom finally someone who thinks like me.
He was everything the Master is supposed to be
He matched the manic energy of tenant so perfectly
One of my favourite scenes of them all :D
John Simm is by far my favourite Master
ZoeMalDoran ZoemalDoran
Despite what people say, love John Simm's one of my favorite Master actors along with Geoffrey Beevers, Alex Maqueen, Derek Jacobi, and Michelle Gomez.
Anyone else got the drum beat stuck in thier head after watching the episode once? Why's it so catchy.
Always! The beat is so catchy and ever since watching this episode of doctor who years ago its been stuck in my head to this very day since 2013, ten years of drums lol
I really do love the RTD1 era's full embracing of camp.
The 13th doctor phase brought some of that camp back and was hated because of it, but this series had the perfect balance between seriousness and camp. Camp didn’t ruin the serious moments and they blended with each other seamlessly at times. The clip here exemplifies said balance.
I've only just realised that this is the same room from Aliens of London/ World War 3, the one where they hide in the cupboard, despite it being blown up
They say right before this scene that it's all been rebuilt
The best Master by far, and one of the best things about Doctor Who. John Simm should be knighted for performances like these!
"Let the work of government begin!"
*Throws paper into the air like confetti*
Lol =)
0:28 "there IS the matter of policy--of which we have very little"
That's the most charismatic villain ever been. I would worship him in real life If that's real. LOL
I love this scene but I always wondered how the Master got rid of the bodies of the politicians he’s just gassed to death while there’s other politicians within the building?
I'd assume he'd manage to get away with it since he had the world under hypnosis with the Archangel network
@@riskybus9925 I distinctly seem to remember him pinning their deaths on the Doctor, Martha, and Jack.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 it has been a while since I watched the episode, I'll trust the judgement Karen Page though (Daredevil rocks)
Laser Screwdriver? Or he used the Tissue Compression Eliminator and walked out with them all in his pocket?
@@lumpyloppy with risk of sounding like a nerd, that only made its reappearance in the 13th doctor era. The laser screwdriver was more his thing. I mean, Missy had an device that had the same thing.
What a great way to start your primership
I'm not going to lie, john simm would make a perfect doctor
Wouldn’t it be funny if Jodie just turns into John Simm when she regenerates XD
He actually auditioned for the role and lost to David Tennant but RTD liked him so much he brought him back to play the Master
@@loyalcompanion2104I didn’t know that, very cool!
Watching this the day of the UK election
I love how silly he is the whole time :D
One of my favourite scenes ever
This scene freaked me out as a kid, nightmares for weeks!
I like to imagine that if Star Wars adapted Admiral Daala's conference at Tsoss Beacon, it would be like this, but with the Imperial March blaring out instead.
John simm is my favourite master :D
The master would be perfect in the Boys show
I swear, if he didn't have a gas mask on Saxon would probably have responded to "You're insane!" with "You ain't just whistlin' dixie!"
Leaked footage of Boris Johnson’s first day as Prime Minister
No, the Master is a far more coherent politician.
You should've seen Margaret Thatcher.
@@Silverwind87 Evil Chemist, mistreats miners... the Rani?
@@Silverwind87 plot twist: the Tathcher was a regeneration of the Master
Roger ap Gwilliam wishes he could be so savage.
Arguably all of The Masters are insane but John Simm's was the one who went all of the way with it; technically all of them heard the drumming but Simm said 'this drumming is driving me insane and I'm sick of pretending otherwise!'
0:55 Look at the funny face!
John Simm is God, and if 0:09-1:14 and 2:04-2:06 aren't gifs I shall be mightily annoyed.
Love this scene, best one of Simms master, as its entertaining and menacing at the same time
Fuckin love john Simm honestly, but I always see his roles as extensions to Sam Tyler from Life on Mars, as if he has just become more and more delusional
At 1:32 the top of the mask has a symbol then at 1:34 its on the bottom before he covers it with his hand. I mean really, like we wouldn't notice. BROVO BBC.
No, The Master just flipped the mask around while we weren't looking just to mess with us. He likes mind games like that :P
*bravo

LOVE HOW THIS WAS REFERENCED IN THE DEVILS CHORD
Stolen Earth/Journey's End: imagine if Rose, Mickey and Jackie asked: so, what happened to Harold Saxon guys?
Doctor, Martha and Jack Harkness: Oh yeah, you went to parallel earth still knowing who Harold Saxon was before history got rewritten 🤷♂️
0:54
Yes, despite the tension of the situation I always laugh at that.
Why would Saxon decide to kill the other ministers if they helped him win and rise to power? is it just because Saxon is cruel, or to punish the ministers?
Christian Sampson He doesn't want to share power.
They didn't help him? He even announced his reasons. They sided with him after they saw how successful he was becoming.
Well if you were mad and have a plan to take over the world and have complete control over everything, and one of the onlI political obstacles in your way is your own cabinet (who will clearly oppose your plan) then wouldn't you take them out?
The ministers were all ex-Tories, so he decided to punish them for their numerous past crimes, of course!
I think it's something like 'How can I trust you if your own parties can't trust you?' that and he probably didn't need them and just wanted an excuse to kill them.
1:28 ARE YOU MY MOMMY!!
I lose it every time he does those facial expressions at 1:00
He said: ☹️🤨
"I don't think I'm making myself clear. Funny is like this: 😁, NOT funny is like this: 😠. Right now, I'm not like 😁, I'm like 😠because you are traitors. Yes, YOU ARE."
I didn't know Saxon's was a Tory cabinet.
Still a better prime minister than Liz Truss
Better PM than Boris Johnson
1:11 oh good lord, he would have a field day with Natalie elphicke 😂
I MISS HIMMMM
He is vile, he is villainous and vicious.
Oh, and malicious.
The Master seems like a Pretty Bird.
His 'not funny' face is a lot funnier than his 'funny' face, IMO.
The Master's thoughts on Star Wars:
0:59 The originals and sequels
1:03 The prequels
TFA sucks. STFU!
NO IT DOES NOT ARE YOU MAD?
Whiny Star Wars/Anime Fan that whines about sao I was only making a joke. I do like both Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat.
Aidan Stead AidanStead
This is wrong. Stop whining. I can’t handle all this whiny society. You’re whining over fiction, not real life
So what I say to everyone who’s a part of this whiny society, get a girlfriend/boyfriend
You're insane! Part killed me to the floor
The Master: Oh and by the way I am a misanthropic one you remind me of my 13th incarnation Amanda yeah you are a Master Like Clara in my opinion
-“You are insane!”
😀👍👍
Has anyone else noticed that he’s got the gas mask is upside down at 1:31?
I didn’t! I hope the editors were like “fuck it they won’t notice” bc I commend them for their ballsy-ness, since it did work. We indeed didn’t notice. :p
UK Conservative party in a week:
This is exactly how Putin is feeling right now
2:05 That's the way, ah ha ah ha , I like it ah ha ah ha!
The Master: You say that my hair is technically dark brown such as yours technically black but me and and the Doctor are friends back then before we became enemies.
This is my favourite scene from the john simm master 🤣
I bet a lot of people in England have been rewatching this as the government gets worse and worse
I think I prefer him over boris
Wish they’d do this to the current lot we’ve got in
wish this guy was back in office
Larry would hate him to bits
Who's here checking for the Albion party logo and comparing it to the set pictures from series 14?
John Simm is brilliant xD
This guy the Master is like Sam Mandy mixed tough this one was Dominique and a British Tim Scam
I loveeee him ❤❤
Still better than Liz Truss
starlight Celestia Sparkle was this one although Twivine Sparkle parodied the 2017 one same 18th but old school
He doesn't even NEED that gas mask. He just put it on to fuck with them.
That face at 2:13 though 😅 He looks like he is in some kind of trance hahaha
2 minutes of a meme made of dark humour.
Don't you think it'd be such an improvement?
Vote Saxon for prime minister
old School Master
the master reminds me of a mix of thatcher and blair lol haha
Funny is like this :D
Not funny is like this D:
the Master: I lied are basicly green like Samantha
Figures the Master would be a Tory.
More like New Labour
Why do aliens love Downing Street so much in doctor who
0:04 to 0:14 would be me if I was the prime minister
Your not you when your hungry have a snickers
I made a crossover of Totally spies who never got reformed Mandy
The BBC when Chibs is destroying doctor who: 2:05
Mandy: I despise villains
Think that whoever portrayed The Master/Harold Saxon would be perfect as the Riddler?
Yes. John Simms as the riddler without the stupid voice filter and sack hat. The one with the question mark suit. Please.
Either that or David tenant, heard he was actually considered for the role in one of the older films.
@@abbycollins I agree
2:03: XD
Their own fault for not finding his name suspicious. I’m a Yank, and I caught that reference!
Can’t be any worse than Truss’s first day 😂
This one Sam Domnique british Tim Scam
I was like Domnique Sam and a british Tim Scam
👍🏻😉👍🏻
I hate the Master but John Simm has the most uncanny timing
The Doctor îs always in front just like Mandy and so Caitlin îs the Rani
AM I EVIL! YES I AM!
Și îs the Master like Domnique cauze the Doctor eyes are green like Sam for example but a bit arrogant like Mandy
Ok și The Doctor îs like Mandy
