John Simm: “I’d like to take the Master to a very dark place” | Radio Times #UPDATE BELOW!

John Simm would like to reprise his role as the Master in Doctor Who, he’s revealed.

“I’d love the opportunity to play him differently,” he told an audience at Cheltenham Literature Festival last week. “I’d love to have another take on him, to be a bit quieter.”

Simm was the seventh actor to take on the role of the Doctor’s arch-adversary – most recently in the 2009 Christmas special – and was notable for his manic cackling.

“There’s a new writer now” he continued, referring to Davies’ successor Steven Moffat – “and I’m sure his take on him would be different so I’d be interested to have a look at it. I’d like to take the Master to a very, very dark place.”

Update: @john_simm: Hi folks, the master thing is honestly a non story. I was answering a specific question at a Q+A. s’been taken out of context. #sorry
