10 Big Finish Doctor Who Moments We Wish We Saw On-Screen
9. Multiple Masters
Granted, we have seen this once on-screen before, but who doesn't want more multiple Master stories? A trilogy of stories featuring Doctors Five, Six and Seven, sees two Masters going head to head. And the finale of the latest Eighth Doctor series, 'Ravenous' sees four Masters united. The finale of the former mentioned trilogy, ‘The Two Masters’ is one of the most gripping stories Big Finish has to offer, but to say anymore would spoil a story which you should whole-heartedly listen to for yourself, and features some of the greatest cliff-hangers in the Whoniverse.
Similar to multi-Doctor stories, the beauty of multiple Masters is seeing the interaction between the different incarnations. It could be argued that each Master is more unique to one another than each Doctor is. To hear the sinister incarnations of Eric Roberts and Derek Jacobi interact with the unpredictable Michelle Gomez is magical.
And with ‘Masterful’, due for release in 2021, Big Finish is going to give us the biggest combination of Masters we’ve seen, including John Simm’s audio debut.
For a specific Master moment to see on screen would have to go to 'The Two Masters' story. As mentioned I shan't go into too much plot details here. But to see two Masters going up against each other is surely going to be explosive.
