2. The Master Takes A Moment Away From World Conquest To Do A Dance Number
I realized after "Last of the Time Lords" aired that in all these years we have never seen The Master actually succeed. At anything. At all. So it makes a certain sense that after finally managing to pull one of his crazy schemes off he felt a bit like celebrating. I wouldn't have pegged him for a Scissor Sisters fan (and if he was I probably would have gone with 'Return to Oz', seriously, have you heard it? Great song) but hey - it sort of worked for him. But it also made me think... .was he always planning to cap things off with a dance number? Is it just that we've never seen him get far enough along in a plan for it to have come up? Did Roger Delgado have Abba's 'Super Trooper' all cued up and ready to jam the moment the Sea Devils took over the world? Was Anthony Ainley poised with his cassette tape of The Hooters just waiting for King John to not sign Magna Carta?* Any moment that causes that succession of images while advancing the plotline of the story at hand has really achieved something.
*Eric Roberts would of course probably have gone with that Chumba Whumba song which would just have given us one more thing to be disappointed with.
