10 Times Doctor Who Wasted Great Villains
6. Lucy Saxon
Lucy Saxon was the wife of “Harold Saxon”, who was revealed to be The Master. Saxon had the same sadistic and sinister ideology as The Master showed as he appreciated his power and sense of morality... or lack of.
Even when Lucy witnessed The Master killing the American President, she showed no signs of fear or shock and remained calm throughout The Master’s reign of destroying and taking over the planet. She even enjoyed watching the Toclafane kill one tenth of the human race as part of The Masters sadistic plan.
However, during the “year that never was”, Lucy Saxon had a change of heart due to the abuse that she received from The Master himself. This prompted her character to join the world when they started to chant the word “Doctor”, and she fatally shot The Master. The change Lucy experienced felt out of character at the time, as she witnessed The Master murder and abuse the people who surrounded them both, plus take over the entire planet.
It’s no surprise that someone as sadistic as The Master turns out to be an abusive person, but the team-up between Lucy and The Master could’ve been Doctor Who’s version of Bonnie and Clyde.
