3 - The Master: Utopia Doctor Who: Greatest Monsters & Villains

Hello, it's Joel here in the actual TARDIS, and thank you for joining on

this third and final night in our search for Doctor Who's Greatest

Monsters and Villains, as voted for by you. Over the past two nights we

have been whittling down the monsters and villains of Doctor Who

legend. And now we are finally at your top three. So, before I reveal

your third place monster and villain, let's just remind ourselves

of who made the list so far. Charging in at ten, it's the Judoon.

At nine, it's the Silurians. At eight, it's those spaghetti-faced

Ood. Always on time at seven, the

Clockwork Droids. At six, it's the chilled-out Ice

Warriors. Upgrading to number five is the

Cybermen. And ssh! At four is the Silence.

Now, so far in this countdown we have been treated to a whole host of

alien creatures that have given the Doctor Who art department a lot to

be proud of. Oh, I just broke that! But next up is a character that

requires hardly any time in make up and special effects at all. No, not

Peter Kay playing the Abzorbaloff, but the Doctor's greatest foe. The

brilliant, the megalomaniacal, the Master.

He likes to be known as the Master. Use my name. Master. The Master.

As Sherlock homes has Moriarty and One Direction have The Wanted, the

Doctor has the Master. Both are Time Lords and were once boyhood friends

on their home planet of Gallifrey. Because of this, they have a strong

mutual respect for each other's brilliance. But, over the years, the

Master's desire to control the universe, and the Doctor's duty to

stop him has seen the pair in direct conflict. But come on, guys. We all

have a friend we can't bear to see succeed.

Here come the drums. The Master. He likes to be known as the Master,

don't you? Reign I could easily kill you if I wanted to. I would like you

to use my name. You chose it. Yes, indeed, he did choose it. In

fact, both the Master and Doctor's chosen names denote levels of

educational qualification. So, by that rationale, my Time Lord name

would be the BTEC Diploma. My Mum's really proud.

Carrying on. As villains go, the Master is quite ambiguous. Despite

trying to conquer worlds, turning the human race into balls, and

literally creating a Master race... There is no human race, there is

only the Master race. Breaking news, I'm everyone. I'm president.

See, told ya. The Master has shown the good in himself on occasion by

helping the Doctor escape the Cybermen and sacrificing himself in

order to save the universe. But what really makes me think he actually an

all right guy is his taste in music. I mean, anyone who likes the Scissor

Sisters can't be all that bad, right?

# I could bury you alive, but you might crawl out with the night.

# I can't decide whether you should live or die.

# You will probably go to heaven. # My heart feels dead inside.

In this episode, we see the return of the long-thought-dead Master, who

has been living at the end of the universe as a simple but brilliant

sweet old professor with no recollection of his villainous past.

But will his true, dastardly self finally break free? Let's find

Cardiff! Cardiff?! Ah! But! Thing about Cardiff,

it's built on a rift in time and space, just like California

on the San Andreas fault... but the rift bleeds energy.

I open up the engines, soak up the energy AND use it as fuel.

Long time ago. Lifetimes. I was a different man, back then.

We're accelerating into the future. The year one billion.

That's impossible! Why, what happens then?

We're going to the end of the universe.

Huuuuuu-maaan! Huuuuuu-maaan!

Chan, should I alert the guards, tho? No, no, we can't spare them.

Poor beggar's on his own. One more lost soul, dreaming of Utopia.

Chan, you mustn't talk as though you've given up, tho.

Where, it is to be hoped, the coffee is a little less sour.

Will you join me? I am happy drinking my own internal milk, tho.

Yes, well that's quite enough information, thank you.

'Don't want to rush you, but how are we doing?'

There's no problem as such, we've accelerated the calculation

matrix, but it's going to take time to harmonise though.

We're trying a new reversal process, we'll have a definite

result in approximately two hours, though.

VOICE DROWNED OUT BY LOUD DRUMMING Chan, professor Yana, tho.

I can't make it out. It would seem, something new has arrived.

Not even the Time Lords came this far.

We should go. We should really, really...

Can't get a pulse. Hold on, you've got that medical kit thing.

I think he came with us. From Earth? Must've been clinging to the Tardis,

all the way through the vortex. Well, that's very him.

D'you know him? Friend of mine. Used to travel with me.

I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat, there's nothing.

And who are you? Martha Jones. Nice to meet you, Martha Jones.

Oh, don't start. I was only saying hello. I don't mind.

Yes, the face. Regeneration. How did you know this was me?

The police box kind of gives it away. I've been following you.

Oh! No! Sorry! She's alive! You're kidding!

So there I was, stranded in the year 200100, ankle deep in Dalek dust,

and he goes off without me, but I had this.

I used to be a Time Agent, it's called a Vortex Manipulator,

It's like, I've got a sports car, you've got a spacehopper.

So, I went to the Time Rift, based myself there, cos I knew

you'd come back to refuel, until finally, I get a signal on this...

Is that what happens? D'you just get bored of us, one day and disappear?

Not if you're blonde. Oh, what a surprise! You two!

right at the edge of knowledge itself, and you're busy...

pathways, or roads, there must've been some sort of life.

Time. Just time. Everything's dying now.

All the great civilisations have gone.

This isn't just night - all the stars have burnt up and faded away.

Is it me, or does that look like a hunt? Come on!

I've got you. They're coming. They're coming.

What the hell are they? We've got to keep going.

I've got a ship nearby. It's safe, it's over there...or maybe not

It's the Futurekind - they're coming, let us in! Show me your teeth!

Show me your teeth! Show me your teeth! Show him your teeth!

Go back to where you came from. I said, go back! Back!

Thanks for that. Right, let's get you inside.

My name is Padra Fet Shafe Cane, tell me,

just tell me... Can you take me to Utopia?

Of medicine? He says of everything. What? A scientist!

I need it back, it's stuck out there.

You're 561. My family were heading for the Silo. Did they get here?

My mother is Kistane Shafe Cane, my brother's name is Beltone.

A blue box, you said? Big, tall, wooden, says "Police".

We could still take a look. Come on.

I'm looking for Kistane and Beltone Shafe Cane!

Kistane from Red Falls Five? Kistane and Beltone Shafe Cane.

Don't you see, though? The ripe old smell of humans! You survived!

but you always revert to the same basic shape.

End of the universe, and here you are! Indomitable, that's the word!

Is there a Kistane Shafe Cane? That's me.

Captain Jack Harkness, and who are you?

How did you cope without me? Now that is what I call a rocket!

Nope, whatever it is, it's not rocket science.

But if the universe is falling apart, what does Utopia mean?

Good! Good good good good good good good good good good good good!

This is the gravitissimal accelerator, it's past its best...

Chan, welcome though. And over here is the Footprint Impeller System.

D'you know anything about end time gravity mechanics? Who are you?

Captain Jack Harkness. Stop it! Can't I say hello to anyone?

So what have we got here? And all this feeds into the rocket?

Except without a stable footprint, we'll never achieve escape velocity.

Is this is a tradition amongst your people?

I lost my hand Christmas Day in a swordfight.

Hello! Might I ask, what species are you?

Not even a myth? Blimey, end of the universe is a bit humbling.

My assistant, and good friend, Chantho. A survivor of the Malmooth.

This was their planet, Malcassairo, before we took refuge.

That city outside, that was yours? Chan, the Conglomeration died...tho.

All this time and you're still full of surprises.

Chan, you are most unusual, tho. Well...

So what about those things outside, the beastie boys?

Which is a myth, in itself, but it's feared they are what we will become,

unless we reach Utopia. And Utopia is...?

Hermits United. We meet up, every ten years, swap stories about caves.

Where is that? Oh, it's far beyond the Condensate Wilderness.

Out towards the Wildlands and the Dark Matter Reefs. Calling us in,

the last of the humans, scattered across the night.

What d'you think is out there? We can't know.

To preserve mankind, to find a way of surviving

beyond the collapse of reality itself, now perhaps they found it.

But it's worth a look, don't you think?

And the signal keeps modulating, so it's not on automatic.

That's a good sign. Someone's out there.

DOCTOR'S VOICE DROWNED OUT BY LOUD DRUMMING

Except that rocket's not going to fly, is it?

This footprint mechanism-thing, it's not working.

That lot out there, they still think they're gonna fly.

Well, it's better to let them live in hope. Quite right too.

what was it? Yana. Professor Yana, this new science is well beyond me.

But all the same, a boost reversal circuit, in any timeframe, must be

a circuit which reverses the boost, so I wonder what would happen

Oh, we've been chatting away, I forgot to tell you. I'm brilliant!

ON TANNOY: 'Air passengers prepare for immediate boarding.

'Air passengers prepare for immediate boarding.'

Good luck. What d'you think it's gonna be like, in Utopia?

My mum used to say, the skies are made of diamonds.

Aah, it's easy, coming in at the end.

But you're stellar, this is, this is magnificent!

And I don't often say that, cos... well, cos of me.

I've spent my life going from one refugee ship to another.

If you'd been born in a different time, you'd be revered. I mean it.

Oh, those damn galaxies, they had to go and collapse!

Just a little. Just once. Well, you've got it now.

You can't activate it from on board, it's got to be done from here.

Simply refuses. You'd give your life, so they could fly.

Oh, I think I'm a little too old for Utopia.

Little bit of a cheat, but who's counting?

Jack, you're in charge of the retro feeds.

Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine just...get on with it.

noise, inside my head, Doctor. Constant noise inside my head.

More and more, as though... it's getting closer.

When did it start? Oh, I've had it all my life.

So how long have you been with the Professor? Chan, 17 years, tho.

Oh, right. And he... Chan, I don't think he even notices, tho.

D'you have to start every sentence with "Chan"?

All you need to do is connect the couplings, then we can launch.

Anything I can do? I've finished that lot. Yes, if you could.

Present and correct! Send your man inside.

Fix the couplings, and the Footprint can work.

It's rising. 0.2, keep it level. Yes, sir.

I've got him. Don't touch the cables, tho.

I'm so sorry. The chamber's flooded with radiation, yes?

We've found a way of tripping the system. Run!

What are you taking your clothes off for? I'm going in!

How long have you known? Ever since I ran away from you.

We lost picture when that thing flared up...

Doctor, are you there? Receiving, yeah. He's inside.

And still alive? Oh, yes. But he should evaporate.

God, I make us sound like stray dogs.

The sports car of time travel, he says.

ECHOING VOICE: 'That's a tardis, that's a tardis, that's a tardis...

When did you realise? Earth, 1892.

Thought it was kind of strange but then it never stopped.

And all that time, you knew. That's why I left you behind.

It's not easy, even just...looking at you, Jack, cos you're wrong.

Thanks. But you are, I can't help it,

I'm a Time Lord, it's instinct, it's in my guts.

You're a fixed point in time and space.

Even the Tardis reacted against you, tried to shake you off,

I never thought of it like that. Shame on you. Yeah.

Last thing I remember, back when I was mortal...

I was facing three Daleks, death by extermination

No-one's ever meant to have that power.

If a Time Lord did that, he'd become a God, a vengeful God.

but she couldn't control it, she brought you back forever.

the final act of the Time War was life.

Do you think she could change me back?

She's not just living on a parallel world, she's trapped there.

Do you want to die? Oh, this one's a little stuck.

but this lot, you see them out here, surviving, and that's fantastic.

You might be out there somewhere. I could go meet myself.

Well, it's the only man you're ever gonna be happy with.

VOICE IN HEAD: 'Regeneration, regeneration...'

I never understand half the things he's saying...

What's wrong? Chan, Professor, what is it? Time travel.

They say there was time travel back in the old days,

Martha, this watch is me. I'm gonna become human.

Time and time and time again, always running out on me...

Can I have a look at that? Oh, it's only an old relic.

I was found with it. What d'you mean? An orphan in the storm.

I was a naked child, found on the coast of the Silver Devastation.

Have you ever opened it? Why would I? It's broken.

How d'you know it's broken if you've never opened it?

It's stuck, it's old, it's... not meant to be.

'Outer doors sealed, Countdown commences, T minus 99, 98...'

it's gonna take the both of us to keep it stable.

Don't be ridiculous. I asked him, he said he's had it his whole life.

No, no, no... it's this... it's this thing...

Jack, keep it level! But that's brilliant, isn't it?

Yes, it is, course it is! Depends which one.

Not if he was human! What did he say, Martha, what did he say?!

But what about now? Can he see it now?

MONTAGE OF VOICES: 'Tardis, the Time Vortex...

'open the light and summon me and receive my majesty.

'Destroy him, then you will give your power to me.'

Chan, Yana, won't you please take some rest, tho?

And think what the Face of Boe said! His dying words! He said.

'Affirmative, we'll see you in Utopia.'

But you've locked them in, tho. Get it open!

Not to worry, my dear. As one door closes, another must open.

Did you never once think, not ever, that you could set me free?

Chan, I'm sorry, tho... Chan, I'm so sorry.

And you, with your "Chan" and your "tho", driving me insane...

Chan, Professor, please... That is not my name.

So perfect a disguise, that I forgot who I am.

Open the door! Open the door, please!

She's dead... I broke the lock. Give me a hand.

But still, if the Doctor can be young and strong...

Doctor, you'd better think of something!

ooh, new voice! IN DIFFERENT PITCHES: Hello! Hello.

Anyway! Why don't we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all

my plans and you can work out a way to stop me, I don't think!

I'm asking you, really properly, just stop, just think.

End of the universe! Have fun! Bye bye!

Hi, I'm Sam, live with a quick update on the Sunday sport.

Can Sebastian Vettel make it a record eight

Disappointment for Scotland at Murrayfield: they lost their rugby

union autumn international with South Africa. The Springboks soundly

beat them 28-0. Can Sebastian Vettel make it a record eight wins in a row

in one season? The United States Grand Prix is in full swing. The

world champion is currently in the lead.

Congratulations to Henrik Stenson: the Swede has won the European

Tour's Race to Dubai. He's the first golfer to take the title
