Behind the Scenes
"Mr. Saxon" was the arc word for the late part of series 2 and all of series 3 of Doctor Who, just like "Torchwood" and "Bad Wolf" had been for the previous series The phrase also featured in Torchwood series 1, on campaign posters.
It has been theorised that Mr. Saxon is actually the renegade Master, hence the episode title "Last of the Time Lords" and why he is to be an enemy. This was confirmed in the DW episode Utopia, and the surprise introduction of The Master brings about the first three-parter since the revival.
