10 Amazing Doctor Who Moments You've Probably Never Seen
8. The Master: Wanted Criminal
A drastic switch of gears now, time-travelling back to the early '90s for this short skit that frames the Master as a wanted criminal in our own real world.
Police 5: The Master is a Doctor Who edition of Police 5, a sort of news programme created to inform the public about unsolved crimes, in the hopes that someone will come forward with new information. In this instance, however, the crimes - and the criminal - are fictional, with the Doctor's arch-nemesis taking the spotlight.
Viewers are warned to be on the lookout for this tricky customer, with presenter Shaw Taylor requesting the public's help to put him behind bars once and for all! We get a rundown of the Master's many faces, his origins, and his occupation (which, hilariously, is listed as "domination and subjugation of the universe"), before concluding with the villain's last known whereabouts: doing battle with the Seventh Doctor on the about-to-be-destroyed Cheetah Planet.
The whole thing has its tongue firmly in its cheek, while also illustrating what a slippery bugger the Master would be if he actually existed in our current reality.
