The Two Masters was the two hundred and thirteenth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by John Dorney and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Geoffrey Beevers as the Decayed Master and Alex Macqueen as the New Master.
It was the third and final part of a "Multi-Master" trilogy and suggested a new explanation of how the Decayed Master acquired such a state.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The future is dying. All over the universe, gaps are beginning to appear. From the space lanes terrorised by the rag-tag remnants of the once-mighty Rocket Men, to the empire of the Gorlans, stricken by a terrible civil war. Gaps in space/time, portents of the end of everything.
Only three beings might prevent it. The Doctor, a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. The Master, another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. And another Master, yet another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey.
One Doctor. Two Masters. What could possibly go wrong?

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Master refers to Jemima as the Doctor's "monkey".
- Blank patches of no-time appear throughout all of recorded history, and TARDISes need to "project" over them.
- The "Bald" Master claims that the Doctor flatters himself by thinking of him as being the Moriarty to the Master's Holmes when he provides merely "adequate opposition worthy of very little attention".
- The Gorlan are a silicate-based lifeform.
- There were billions of casualties in the Gorlan Civil War.
- The Decayed Master uses the pseudonym "General Malgrove". "Malgrove" is the Gorlan word for "master".
- The "Bald" Master claims that the entire fleet of the Unholy Protocol could not stop him.
- The "Bald" Master describes the Fifth Doctor as "the drippy blonde one" who "wanders around dressed like nobody's who's ever played cricket ever", while the Decayed Master describes the Sixth Doctor as "the carnival clown".
- The Doctor describes the incarnation of the Master who stole Tremas' body as having a taste for melodrama.
- The Doctor objects to allowing the two Masters to meet, stating that it is forbidden by both the Blinovitch Limitation Effect and the Laws of Time.
- The Cult of the Heretic worships a renegade Time Lord known as the Heretic.
- The Doctor refers to the Grandfather Paradox.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story was recorded on 8 and 9 December 2015 at the Soundhouse.
- Subscribers whose subscriptions included this story received the audio short story The Monkey House.
- Part One of the story uses a pre-title sequence, a format used occasionally by Big Finish and the television series in the 1980s.
- This is the first multi-Master story in performed Doctor Who.
- The Decayed Master argues that he would make a more suitable ruler, as the "Bald" Master looks far too much like a "low-ranking civil servant" to leave anyone quaking in their boots. This may be in reference to Alex Macqueen's role in the British political satire The Thick of It, in which Macqueen portrays a politician whose authority is regularly mocked and undermined.
- This is director Jamie Anderson's favourite Doctor Who audio he has ever worked on, although Cold Fusion came a close second.
- This story's account of how the Decayed Master acquired his appearance contradicts the account suggested in the 1998 novel Legacy of the Daleks, where the "UNIT era" Master is depicted as being burnt after Susan Foreman shot him with his own TCE.
- The account of this audio story was later contradicted by the 2020 short story The Dead Travel Fast, where the Decayed Master refers to a regeneration seen in Doorway to Hell comic as a "failed one".
