Fan Show host Christel Dee discussed the return of John Simm as The Master and the also the return of the renegade Time Lord’s classic use of disguise in the episode. Minchin commented on the character of ‘Razor’:
“We kind of wanted it to be surprise, like an old-school Master surprise, and we weren’t sure how we could manage it. Neill Gorton [prosthetic effects designer from Millennium FX], again, came up with a fantastic mask and he [John Simm] did the voice.”
“We kind of thought we were probably on the right lines when we actually filmed in public for a whole evening with Razor out in the streets and people were taking pictures of the Cybermen and Bill and no one recognised John Simm!
We think it’s great fun and a very ‘Master’ thing to do.”
Brian also discusses why John Simm’s Master was brought back and just why those pesky Mondasian Cybermen have returned in the Series 10 finale.
