-A particularly incompetent version of '''[[the Master]]''' attempted to destroy the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]] on the [[planet]] [[Tersurus]].
+Not being particularly competent, the '''"17th incarnation"''' of '''[[the Master]]''' attempted to destroy the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]] on the [[planet]] [[Tersurus]] .
 == Biography ==
-While spying on the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]], the Master inadvertently enabled two way communication and unwittingly revealed his plans to eliminate the Doctor. After the two had arranged to meet on Tersurus, it became apparent the Master had travelled back in time to bribe a [[Tersuron]] architect to install traps in the castle they were now in. Unbeknown to him, the Doctor had also done the same, bribing the architect with food to change the traps' details. This led to the Master floundering around the sewers of Tersurus for over nine centuries, after falling down the same trap three times. Later he allied himself with the [[Dalek]]s, as no other race could tolerate the smell from his time in the sewage, and then used his very own [[The Master's TARDIS (The Curse of The Fatal Death)|TARDIS]] to travel back to the point just after he fell. As part of this alliance, the Master had himself "augmented" with Dalek technology, resulting in a more youthful appearance and "Dalek bumps" on his chest. Although he remained adamant they were [[etheric beam locator]]s, the Doctor continually teased the Master because they resembled breasts.
+While spying on the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|"listless-looking" Ninth Doctor]], the Master inadvertently enabled two way communication and unwittingly revealed his plans to eliminate the Doctor on [[Zaston IV]]. After the two had arranged to meet on Tersurus, it became apparent the Master had travelled back in time to bribe a [[Tersuron]] architect to install traps in [[Castle Tersurus]]. Unbeknownst to him, however, the Doctor had also done the same, bribing the architect with food to change the traps' details. This led to the Master floundering around the sewers of Tersurus for over nine centuries, after falling down the same trap three times.
-After the Doctor continuously regenerated combating the Daleks, the Master believed the [[Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Twelfth Doctor]] to have been killed by the [[zectronic beam]], and renounced his evil ways before the Doctor [[regenerated]] into [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|a female form]]. Attracted to each other, the Time Lords walked off, arm in arm. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
+As no other race could tolerate the smell from his time in the sewage, the Master allied himself with the [[Dalek]]s, because they were the only life-forms without noses and hence the only creatures willing to work with him. As part of their alliance, the Master had himself "augmented" with Dalek technology, resulting in a more youthful appearance and "Dalek bumps" on his chest. Although he remained adamant they were [[etheric beam locator]]s, the Doctor continually teased the Master because they resembled [[breast]]s.
+He then used his very own [[TARDIS]] to travel back to the point just after he fell and threatened the Doctor once again, this time backed by the Daleks. After the Doctor continuously regenerated combating the Daleks, the Master believed the [[Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Twelfth Doctor]] to have been killed by the [[zectronic beam]], the Master renounced his evil ways before the Doctor [[regenerated]] into [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|a female form]]. Attracted to each other, the Time Lords walked off, arm in arm. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
 == Personality ==
-This version of the Master was as melodramatic and hammy as ever, frequently laughing maniacally and taking pleasure in explaining his evil plans at great length.
+The "17th" Master was as melodramatic and hammy as ever, frequently laughing maniacally and taking pleasure in explaining his evil plans at great length.
+He was also significantly more inept than other versions of the Master, monitoring the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]] in his TARDIS and gloating about the traps he had set without realising that he was on speakerphone until the Doctor informed him. After deactivating his viewscreen, he continued to monologue in what he thought was privacy, unaware that he had just switched the screen off and was still audible to the Doctor. He also inadvertently fell into a trap he had set for the Doctor no less than three times. Over nine hundred years, he developed some questionable appetites and behaviours with [[slug]]s.
+The Master's incompetence manifested itself again when he failed to realise that the Daleks were planning to exterminate him once had assisted them in completing the death ray. In fact, so lacking in common sense was the Master that when the Doctor used the language of the Tersuruns to discreetly inform him of the Daleks' intentions, the Master gave the game away by blurting it out loud, causing the Daleks to try and exterminate him. His uncharacteristic lack of intelligence was further demonstrated by his inability to repair the exploding generator, admitting that only the Doctor had the capacity to do so.

+Despite being a rival to the Doctor for many years, the Master was devastated when a blast of [[zectronic beam]] appeared to strike the Doctor beyond the point of [[regeneration]], and decided to become good in his memory. However, when the Doctor did regenerate in [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|a female body]], the Master fell in love with the Doctor and they became lovers.

+== Appearance and clothing ==
+The "17th" Master was a man with a black beard and wild hair, who wore an outfit with a long cloak and a large green collar. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
 == Behind the scenes ==
-* He has been called "The 17th Master" by some fans, based upon a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the spoof.{{source}} In the special itself he is not referred to as anything but the Master.
+* [[Jonathan Pryce]] was previously considered for the role of {{Roberts|n=the Master}}, as well as the [[Eighth Doctor]], in [[the TV Movie]].<ref>http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/tvm.html</ref>
-* The "17th Master" is a parody of [[Roger Delgado]]'s {{Delgado|n=Master}} from the [[Third Doctor]]'s era, mainly because of the near-identical appearance.
+* A behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the spoof denotes Pryce's Master as "the 17th Master"{{disputed}}. In the special itself, he is not referred to as anything other than the Master.
-* Jonathan Pryce has laughingly referred to this role as spoiling his chances to ever play the real Master.<ref>https://www.avclub.com/jonathan-pryce-on-working-with-glenn-close-playing-bon-1828476996</ref>
+* The "17th Master" was designed as a pastiche of [[Roger Delgado]]'s portrayal of the Master during the [[Third Doctor]]'s era.
+* When initially pitching ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'', Steven Moffat deliberately linked his story treatment to the gap between "{{Delgado|n=the Roger Delgado-faced Master}} running away at the end of ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'' and {{Pratt|n=Peter Pratt's cowled and rotted-faced incarnation}} turning up in ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]''." This was eventually abandoned, with the Master instead walking off into the distance with the freshly regenerated [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Female Doctor]].<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/Doctor_Who_-_In-Vision_106_-_The_Curse_of_Fatal_Death.PDF/Doctor%20Who%20-%20In-Vision%20106%20-%20The%20Curse%20of%20Fatal%20Death_djvu.txt Doctor Who In Vision: The Curse of Fatal Death]</ref>
+* Jonathan Pryce has laughingly referred to this role as spoiling his chances to ever play the real Master.<ref>[https://www.avclub.com/jonathan-pryce-on-working-with-glenn-close-playing-bon-1828476996 Jonathan Pryce on working with Glenn Close, playing Bond and Bradbury villains, and the many sides of Terry Gilliam]</ref>
 * [[Gabe Cronelly]] was the [[stunt double]] for Jonathan Pryce and stood in for him during the scene where the Master falls through the trapdoor. ([[DOC]]: ''[[Comic Relief Doctor Who Uncovered]]'')
