Ranking the Master serials

[rushy]

From best to worst. Judging them not only as stories, but how well they utilise the Master and how much I enjoy the actor's performance. Honorary mention goes to "The War Games", because I think Edward Brayshaw played the Master in all but name (and did a fantastic job at that).

I couldn't possibly rank them. I think the best stories are Survival, The Five Doctors, The Deadly Assassin, Terror of the Autons and Logopolis. I don't think he was as well served as the Daleks.

What he said, minus Logopolis.

Though Mind, Daemons and Mark aren't bad either.

Mark is good, but I like a fan's idea of the story being a three way mexican standoff between all three Timelords. I reckon that would have been cooler. Fortunately Mark has arguably the best visuals of any Colin story. I also love the period clothing and setting.

I find Planet of Fire a bit boring. Of course I love Nicola, but she gives her worst performance of the series. She's light-years better in Attack of the Cybermen. The rest of it is pretty dull.
