Who is the Master?

Might as well post some Delgado youtube links for those who've never seen him.

I voted for Ainley, as well. He'll always be the first person I think of as The Master. I always think of him, in that black velvet outfit, just positively oozing evil out of every pore. Although, I have to say that John Simm did a damn fine job with his crazy-ass version of the Master, too.

Simm because he's still fresh in my mind.

Currently the Doctor is Tom Baker, because I just finished the Key to Time.

That would be an interesting matchup!

Ainley was the first Master I saw (on a rerun of "Logopolis" back when my local PBS still ran Classic Who). I've never seen Delgado's or Roberts' master. And while I enjoy John Simm's portrayal, I think the stories he's been in have been halfway rubbish.

I think he's even better in the making-of special about the show.

Simm was the first Master I saw and while I think he's good in the role, his stories have been awful to mediocre at best in my honest opinion, though I prefer Delgado anyway.

I'd love to see him play the role again but in a serious episode.

I haven't voted, because while I like Simm (and Jacobi and Roberts), when I think of The Master, I do tend to think of a slightly OTT bloke with a pointy black beard, snarly smile and demonic stare. I haven't seen enough of either Ainsley or Delgado to be able to pick one over the other but The Master in my head is basically some weird amalgam of the two.

Someone call Big Finish.
