Doctor Who: 10 Facts About Big Finish You Didn't Know
5. Derek Jacobi Returns As The Master
Another missed opportunity within the New Series was Derek Jacobi as the Master. It was rather unfortunate that his moment of glory was cut short to allow John Simm to enter the role.
For many years the fans craved for more of Derek Jacobi's incarnation of the rogue Time Lord. After many long years of waiting Big Finish finally decided to make this wish a reality.
Derek Jacobi now has his very own range, exploring his incarnation during the Time War. It's fair to say that his rendition of the villain is by far one of the most manipulative, cruel, and downright sinister of the lot
The War Master, as he is known, comes across as totally callous and calculative in his grim schemes, particularly when he decided to re-write the events of Genesis of the Daleks. That was certainly a bleak what if scenario.
