I absolutely hated Simm's Master, cheers for the thread Mandy D.

Part of the problem is this simple; Simm had to follow DEREK JACOBI!
He may only have truly been The Master for a few minutes, but by god he was phenomenal!

And he was so cool & calculating, so why did Simm play The Master as such a whackjob pantomime villain?
It didn't help either that Simm was dumped into the WORST finale ever with a dance soundtrack & the attack of Sgt Major Zero (not to mention Doctor Dobby) and then went peroxide & ate people, as mentioned above.

There's only one moment of Simm Master I like.
