The Rani is a great villainess tbh. She isn't a downright wanting world domination like the master but simply to do whatever is necessary to achieve her goals. Bring her back!
That would be a funny if Missy was in it. Here is what I could see. Peri: That means... No, you can't be. Missy: So, you do know me after all, I knew you would. Spit it out girl I can see it on the tip of your tongue. Peri: The Rani! Missy: No, I'm the Master!! Peri: Wait what? Missy: Yes, I'm the Master but you can call me Missy.
To be fair they were dead for 8 years, that made it a bit difficult to bring back too many survivors. The master worked, the rani might have too. But not that many.
Jon Smith Hound has been the Monk a while before Missy series 1. And even before that Big Finish had a version of the Monk played by Graeme Garden in the eight Doctor adventures
@@coleturner9106 But why not? It’s very plausible that more than a couple survived the War. Blowing up one’s home planet would be a good excuse to be extinct for more primitive races like humans, but a race as powerful as the Time Lords, who, according to the Doctor, have had “absolute power” for over 10 million years? I don’t buy it.
comes down to the fact of also having the right to use them as those characters belong to the creator of them so they need permission from the person or the estate just like with the daleks they have to keep seeking permission from terry nations estate when using
The War Rani would be interesting. If Dimensions In Time is made canon then they can say the Time Lords recovered her from the trap the Doctor sent her to and they allow her to continue her experiments to help them in the Time War
Ah, shame. I'm in camp 7th Doctor but do grab myself some of 6's audio's - Baker's very good at them - so skipping won't be a problem ^^ Anything 7th Doctor related on the cards in the upload-future?
CDNM, and some older Seven stories I really enjoyed. Looking at my list, I have Live 34, Forty Five, Afterlife and You are the Doctor on my relisten list this week. Obviously I'll try to stay up to date with new releases, but ppl also need to know how awesome pre 200 is.
Well, if you're looking for additional options - "Night Thoughts" was a nice and creepy story if you like mansion-horror. If you'd like to re-live the fun/comedic side of 7's earlier incarnation, "Bang-Bang-A-Boom" is a really fun and lively story trimmed with the campiness of Season 24 (TV). And of course one of his praised works being "Master" which I found quite gripping and would no doubt have plenty of up-loadable bits. Pretty sure some (or at least Master and maybe others) can be listened to for free via Spotify. Definitely give Night Thoughts a try - I do love when Doctor Who goes to the horror-movie side of things, which is probably why creepy episodes like "Curse of Fenric" stick out in people's minds. Totally glorious episode for those who have watched all of 7's era and can catch-on to all the pre-episode references, moreso if you have the uncut special edition with the gorgeous musical re-score. If you'd like a spoiler-less teaser, paste "We have black hearts" in search and click the Curse of Fenric title/thumb of the Reverend. I've yet to listen to the 7th audio where the Doctor once again takes on Fenric.
I hope the Rani comes back in the revival era of doctor who. I know the rights are a bit of a mess but now Russell T Davies is coming back to doctor who let's hope he gives the villainous time lady a new lease of life and introduce her to new audiences like he did with the master in utopia
@@TheTurnipKing she hasn’t, this is only the second Rani, but the Rani also isn’t used to humans or cares about “lesser species” which is probably the real reason
I'm glad that the Doctor and the Master aren't the only Time Lords to have gone Scottish, I haven't listened to this particular story (I've only just started looking into 6th Doctor stories after years of reluctance, due to his era not exactly being a favourite of mine), but if this is any indication, Siobhan certainly seems like a worthy successor to Kate O'Mara as the Rani.
Don’t forget that Peter Capaldi also played the Doctor, and he’s Scottish too! Also David Tennant (who played the Tenth Doctor) was Scottish but didn’t use his accent while playing the role
Wouldn't everything just come full circle if the Rani does appear in the current series at some point and has Regenerated into a man, to play off of how both the Doctor and the Master have become women in recent years. Personally I say she should be played by Benedict Cumberbatch, he's got the intimidation factor and intelligence factor to make the perfect male Rani.
Alternate timeline: Peri: But- you can’t be Rani: Spit it out, girl... Peri: The MASTER! Rani: What? No, I’m not the Master- Peri: But I thought- Rani: No, you fool, I’m the Rani!
I disagree. Missy was way too flamboyant and obsessed with the Doctor to have ever been the Rani. The Rani is a scientist with no morals. She's not some criminal mastermind who wants to conquer the universe. She just wants to conduct her research and run her experiments, without the Doctor being able to interfere and ruin everything.
In "The Mark of the Rani", the Rani was a far more interesting character than the Master. Imagine if, in the near future, we could say the same about Jodie Whittaker's new Doctor! ;D
@@EditedAF987 that all Doctors and other time lords and time ladies stayed the same sex in all their regeneration and healing proccess don't heal sex gender
@@DavidTyler agreed the whole time the Doctor regenerated was always a man. And your born a man you regenerate as a man period. The same for female timelords as well.
The Doctor well how would that work? They just randomly make a sixth doctor episode with no ties to the series and it has post-Mindwarp Peri in it with no explanation? Also considering that the people who made this aren’t affiliated with the BBC and are an audio only company they couldn’t have made it into a television story
How could they? None of the multicultural moronic companions in the current TARDIS crew have ever met the Rani, so this scene (Peri's sudden realisation) would be redundant.
The Rani is a great villainess tbh. She isn't a downright wanting world domination like the master but simply to do whatever is necessary to achieve her goals.
Bring her back!
Imagine if Peri said the Master. The Rani would be so offended. It would be hilarious.
They should have done that. Would have meant peri thought it was possible, whereas some companions wouldn't.
Sort of how Liv mistook the Master as a future regeneration of the Eleven
I need this as a fanfic 🤣
Bruh.
That would be a funny if Missy was in it. Here is what I could see.
Peri: That means... No, you can't be.
Missy: So, you do know me after all, I knew you would. Spit it out girl I can see it on the tip of your tongue.
Peri: The Rani!
Missy: No, I'm the Master!!
Peri: Wait what?
Missy: Yes, I'm the Master but you can call me Missy.
Rani : spit it out, it's on the tip of your tongue
Peri: THE MASTER !!!!
Rani : facepalm.
🤦🏾
Could you imagine if Missy was the villain in this story?
Bring back the Rani! Bring back the Monk! Bring back Drax! Why is it so sodding hard to bring the Time Lords back properly?
To be fair they were dead for 8 years, that made it a bit difficult to bring back too many survivors. The master worked, the rani might have too. But not that many.
They brought the Monk back. In missy season 1. Rufus Hound IS the Monk.
Jon Smith Hound has been the Monk a while before Missy series 1. And even before that Big Finish had a version of the Monk played by Graeme Garden in the eight Doctor adventures

She should be The Rani in the modern series
I’d prefer Siouxsie Sioux for that myself 😎
@@johnIZaUWL if I were casting the Rani I would cast Katie McGrath

I bet a War Rani would be interesting or even seeing the Rani in modern who

Seems like the Rani has gone Scottish, too. Wonder will this version ever go up against McCoy at some point.
Maybe. So far it's been twice against Six, the other being Planet of the Rani but I don't recommend that story at all. Blagh!!

1:46 :You really don't recognize me do you"
Well the last time you saw Peri you were Kate O'Mara so you know.
I don't think the Rani has done the regeneration thing quite as often as The Doctor or The Master.

What? The Master gone Scottish too.
spiritus mundi yes, Missy. Michelle Gomez is Scottish
Scottish doctor - Sylvester McCoy
Scottish master - Michelle Gomez
Scottish Rani - Siobhan Redmond

Also David Tennant (who played the Tenth Doctor) was Scottish but didn’t use his accent while playing the role

Eh, that would come off as a bit contrived. I'd say the Rani should be re-introduced as a woman and then become a man later.

Rani: Spit it out, girl...
Peri: The MASTER!
Rani: What? No, I’m not the Master-

I wish that Missy turned out to be Rani instead of the Master.
Yeah, I definitely got more of a Rani vibe with Missy than the Master...she was still good tho
I disagree. Missy was way too flamboyant and obsessed with the Doctor to have ever been the Rani. The Rani is a scientist with no morals. She's not some criminal mastermind who wants to conquer the universe. She just wants to conduct her research and run her experiments, without the Doctor being able to interfere and ruin everything.
I hope The Rani comes back. And The Monk... And The Vallyard...
@@DarkXaven Wow! I did-not know that!
@@DarkXaven people change over time
The Rani is so intimidating
The music makes the scene even creepier.
Who Girl oh completely agreed, along with the way The Rani Speaks down to peri with authority. It's a shame moffat doesn't like her character
Well now surely it makes no difference what Moffat likes, it's Chibnall who makes the decisions.
In "The Mark of the Rani", the Rani was a far more interesting character than the Master. Imagine if, in the near future, we could say the same about Jodie Whittaker's new Doctor! ;D
Liz May Brice would make a good Rani if The Rani ever returns. Liz May Brice's Rani would make a good adversary for the new Doctor Jodie Whittaker.
#TheRaniNeedsToComeBack
The Rani has the best description of Peri: Useless
Imagine if they bring the Rani back now to go up against Whittaker’s Doctor - the Rani would I suppose have to regenerate into a man.
alphabetaxenonzzzcat she wouldn’t have to. Timelords don’t regenerate into the opposing sex just because someone they know is a different gender
@@EditedAF987 timelords shouldn't be albe to change gender in the first place
David Lomax what makes you say that?

Love the 6th doctor 💙💙
Episode One Cliffhanger. Why?
They should of made this into an actual episode instead of an audio story
The Doctor well how would that work? They just randomly make a sixth doctor episode with no ties to the series and it has post-Mindwarp Peri in it with no explanation? Also considering that the people who made this aren’t affiliated with the BBC and are an audio only company they couldn’t have made it into a television story
The audios are great, don't disregarded them just because they aren't visual
How could they? None of the multicultural moronic companions in the current TARDIS crew have ever met the Rani, so this scene (Peri's sudden realisation) would be redundant.
