- Camcorder footage of Anthony Ainley speaking at the Nebula '91 Convention. I couldn't make it that day since I had to work so I gave my camcorder to my friend and had him shoot this footage. I also have some footage of Mary Tamm from the same day which I will dig up and try to upload.
Every fan needs to see this. Seeing Anthony speaking of the show is very rare and to see this is a pleasure.
What a kind and humble man. Couldn't be further from his onscreen persona, which speaks volumes for his talent as an actor. We were lucky to have him. Always remembered and forever treasured.
Couldn't agree more! I've read the biography about him, and my god, he was wonderful.
I went to Em-con Nottingham 2021 yesterday. I met up with Peter Davison and Sylvester McCoy, I both questioned to them what it was like working with Anthony. Peter said he was a nice guy and he remembers when the producers would say to Anthony “there’s just going to be a small explosion”, and then it would be a huge bang with smoke and Anthony would be terrified and hide and everyone thought it was hilarious. Sylvester said Anthony said two things to him “he wanted to be the master forever and wanted to play cricket forever”. Sylvester also said Anthony wore a wig on the crown of his head as he was going bold but was too embarrassed to show anyone that he was bold. But they both said he was a nice man and Colin overheard and shouted “SHE FANCY’s HIM!” It was a little embarrassing! But it was a joke.
No offense to Sylv and Peter, but isn't it kinda lame how they always tell the same things about him? I have heard them several times now. I mean sure, he was a private man and stuff, but there must be some other good stories!
Thank you for sharing though! :)
Colin gets it 😂
Both first Doctors passed away after their respected anniversary specials. I'm glad that David Bradley (the 3rd First Doctor) is still around.
I wish there was a another Pertwee or Troughton actor.
RIP Anthony - You were my Master growing up 😔
There may be conflictions over who was a better Master between Anthony and Roger, though what must be kept in mind is that each incarnation has their own personality like the Doctor. Just the same for each those.
That voice would have been velvet on Big Finish.
They feature his Master in some audios, though. Check out Masterful, Lesser Evil and Forty 2
It's ashame he wanted more money than they could offer.
I do say I think it was a shame Anthony Ainley did not ever pop in Blakes Seven as a villain he said to me at a later con in Northampton he dearly would love to have appeared in Blakes Seven as a villain and he would love to have worked with the regular cast of B7 and also he and Paul Darrow were very great mates and had done many cons together in UK and the US and I know that Gareth Thomas also knew Ainley quite well Michael Keating only met Ainley the once and they never crossed paths ever again . I will say Ainleys master was okay but I still preferred Delgados Master out of all the Masters
What an extraordinary video! So amazing and special to hear the wonderful Anthony Ainley speak of the Master and Doctor Who so passionately!
my favourite Master
I went to this con and Michael Keating and Paul Darrow from Blakes Seven attended tis event and I learnt from Anthony he and Paul Darrow were great friends and it was also the first time Michael Keating and Anthony Ainley met
I went to this event and two regular cast members from Blake,s Seven attended Michael keating Vila and Paul Darrow Avon, and also I learnt at this event Paul Darrow and Anthony Ainley were good friends and they had known each other a long time they did many cons together. This was the only time Michael Keating and Anthony Ainley ever met, and they got on well also I read somewhere that Gareth Thomas Blake was invited to this event but did not make it and also some of the other guests were David Banks, Slyvester Mccoy Sophie Aldred and Nicholas Courtney.
He looks strange without beard
The famed beard he sported during the role was actually fake too.
God Bless you both Mr Anthony, and Mr Roger. Two fine BRITISH ACTORS who are sadly missed, along with Mr Pertwee. NEVER TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH SIR LAWRENCE OLIVIER. AND OTHER FINE ACTORS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US.
GOD BLESS
