The Master's death scene also inspired some negative feelings in Tennant, too.

While providing commentary over this scene, the actor notes that it was "tough" to film, and that, from his perspective, he never felt like he "got it", adding that he grew "quite depressed" once shooting had been completed.

Overall, Tennant was quite disappointed with this scene while filming it, although he does say that he thinks the finished product turned out really well. Agreed!

Oh, and we should also mention that Tennant gave Simm "stubble rash" due to hugging him too hard. Spiky.
