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. | 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.

The later story ''[[Planet of Fire]]'' included a line of dialogue which led to some speculation in this regard. A reference to this occurs much later in ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'' when [[Martha Jones]] tells the [[Tenth Doctor]] she thought he and the Master were brothers, to which he enigmatically replies, "You watch too much TV". | ||
