==Behind the Scenes==Although they played antagonists onscreen, in real life [[Roger Delgado]], who originated the role of the Master, and [[Jon Pertwee]], the Third Doctor, were actually close friends. In interviews and convention Q&A sessions, Pertwee often cited the death of Delgado as one of the factors which led him to give up the role. His death meant that, on-screen, the feud between the Doctor and the Master never came to any resolution. Originally the Master would have died saving the Doctors's life. The Doctor would have then regenerated. Rumours suggest that the story would have revealed the Master as the evil side of the Doctor's personality, which would have explained why the Master never sought to actually kill the Doctor. A persistent rumor, not verified by the production team of that era, has said that story would have revealed the Doctor and the Master as brothers. This was then confirmed in the 2007 episode, "The Sound Of Drums" where Martha surprisingly asks that she thought the Doctor and the Master were brothers but this was dismissed by the Doctor with him saying, "You watch too much TV". However, the look on the Doctor's face may have suggested she'd guessed correctly?[[Category:The Master]][[Category:Third Doctor enemies|Master]] | ==Behind the Scenes== | ||
