^ You mean the Master as well?
The master
- Thread starter Mr Pointy Ears
- Start date
He didn't say he was "avoiding" past Doctors. He said he was "waiting for a version ... that would coincide with me". It might not have been anything he had control over. He might have lived through the 60's and 70's and 80's and never had the slimmest chance of ever running into Tom Baker or Jon Pertwee because those incarnations aren't synchronized with Jack's "present".
^ Looking at it another way: Coincide = Same place, same time. It could just mean that he was waiting for a chance meeting, which presumably he expected to be post-2000 given the Doctor's habits and the fact that Nine appeared to not recognise Jack. Also, he may have surmised that the TARDIS would try to avoid letting Doctors One through Eight meeting an acquaintance from their future. Jack probably knew a fair bit about the Doctor when they first met and just feigned ignorance; probably standard procedure for time-travelers.
Jack worked for Torchwood.
He had access to UNIT files instantly.
UNIT files written by Doctor John Smith.
Jack would have been all over the Doctor's past starting with casual interviews with Ian and Barabra.
What with their school being the centre of a Dalek invasion, and their sudden reappearance three years later.
Would Jack more so go for Mike Yates, Jo Grant or coherse the two of them into a threesome?
The Master was Imprisoned at one point.
Public enemy number one, a guest of her magesty.
As a high ranking member of Torchwood, he would have access to such a valuable alien resource.

Like all those CIA-FBI turf wars we see in US tv dramas.
UNIT works for the UN not the Crown, although Alistairs outfit had some unhealthy entanglements with the British Government, which out and out, still isn't exactly the Crown... Actually would the Queen be the head of Torchwood as a reality and not just a figurehead, and every British monarch before her?
As soon as everyone stopped using filing cabinets, Jack would have been able to hack almost anything Earth thought was a secure system, but seriously British ministers of parliament were pushing Alistair around something serious in some of those early episodes in the 70s.

Well the drama for UNIT in the 70's Pertwee episodes was understated but it was present.
The Brigadier was actually sort of torn between two loyalties. He was still a member of the British Army and owed his allegiance to the UK, but he was also given over to a UN body and expected to fulfill that role as well.

I found it odd, that they didn't have any obvious foreigners cast as extras in UNIT.
Then again, in "The Five Doctors" the Second Doctor was able to meet the Fifth Doctor's Brigadier (presumably this is what the Doctor meant when he said "I'm not exactly breaking the laws of time, but I am bending them"), so that probably can be overridden. Especially because the Doctor said that at that time, the TARDIS landed exactly where and when he wanted ("for once"
).
When they say first law of time, think of the Airtraffic control hub in Die Hard II, and how they thought it wasn't a good idea when Sloan wasn't making planes collide...What did the Doctor say? A good man doesn't need rules, a good man doesn't but I do, I need so many rules.
Unless I am mistaken, they never bothered playing up the "international" nature of UNIT until Battlefield.
Well, the Brigadier was frequently in contact with Geneva, but yeah, Battlefield was the first time we saw non-British UNIT soldiers.
It's possibly like a franchise.
They just fedex the uniforms and weapons to a disclosed location.
It's not like everyone in the world wonders why the people working in their local Kentucky fried Chicken restaurant don't have a southern drawl.

Good one, Guy. I say that the Masters of the past are still there but like David Tennant's Doctor mentioned in The End of Time Part One, there are rules keeping him from running into an earlier version of the Master. This is after Wilf Mott asked why the Doctor couldn't just take the Tardis to the previous day and capture the Master then. Mind, this is in the TV series. There was a novel once *Legacy of the Daleks* where the Eighth Doctor accidentally met the Delgado Master while looking for Susan.
Besides, we saw what happened when Rose saved her daddy.
Although I listened to a audio with 6, and he met a companion, DCI Menzies, before their first official meeting, and after about 40 seconds she figures it out, what's going on, that he was a past version of the the Doctor she had met, and that the universe might explode if she lets him in on his future which might alter her past... By the end, 6 had figured it out, and said that it was very kind of her to be so cautious with his history, and that when he next meets her for the first time, that he shall be just as kind and not ruin her timeline either.
Can't you imagine that Nicholas Briggs last words were "Zooooodin...."?

You refer to Charlotte "Charley" Pollard as played by India Fisher. She travelled for a few years with Paul McGann in his audio run only to be written out and then picked up by Colin Baker's Doctor.
No.
Detective Inspector Patricia Menzies.

if i recall correctly, I believe that Menzies actually "interrogated" out of Charlie that our favourite Edwardian Adventuress was from the Doctors future too in Condemened, which is what prepared her for this eventuality of meeting one of his past selves int he crimes of Thomas Brewster.
Most intriguing, Guy. Thanks for the information.
We got a 8.6 on the weird shitometer on the horizon.
Next up in audioland...
Leela vs the Master.
Okay here's the skinny on the psychology which only I can uncoil...
Leela is potent enough femininely to arouse Timelords.
At this point she's only destined to marry one, but that's a crack in the armour our half naked huntress can wedge open so that one day Lucy can be taken advantage of...
Good lord.
The actor they have playing the Master in the audio, is the same stud from the Keeper of Traken and if the Big Finish Box covers are to beleived, he's all rotting and shit, making his merry way towards the Deadly Assasin (Different actor) and Keeper of Traken last gasps...
It's not Geoffry Beever's first Big Finsh, which if I had stretched my brain a little, I would have noticed.
But here's the absolute hilarious bit...
The Master, Geoffry Beevers is married to Caroline John... Liz Frakking Shaw!
People fall in love often despite their jobs, but those two must have some truly awesome sexy role playing adventures before bedtime.
Here's the thing.
I don't think the fact that he's desicated or burnt would stop Leela.
How so totally fucking ugly the Master is at this point wouldn't stop how strong his seed is.
And if the Doctor is not offering, this is some serious mojo to build a new tribe with after her education with the Doctor is over.
