* In the Third Doctor's [[The Final Game (TV story)|original final episode concept]], [[Roger Delgado]]'s incarnation of the Master would have redeemed himself and given his life to save the Doctor, after which the Doctor would have [[Regeneration|regenerated]]; however, this story was never developed due to the sudden death of Roger Delgado. Over thirty years later, this idea was reused in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', with [[John Simm]]'s incarnation of the Master sacrificing himself to save the Tenth Doctor from Rassilon. | * In the Third Doctor's [[The Final Game (TV story)|original final episode concept]], [[Roger Delgado]]'s incarnation of the Master would have redeemed himself and given his life to save the Doctor, after which the Doctor would have [[Regeneration|regenerated]]; however, this story was never developed due to the sudden death of Roger Delgado.

* The behind the scenes book ''[[A Celebration]]'' (1983) had a feature entitled ''The Two Regenerations of the Master'', also referring to ''The Two Faces of the Master'', namely the Delgado Master and the Ainley Master. From a production standpoint, Delgado was identified as the "first Master", whilst Ainley was designated as both the "second incarnation" and the "second regeneration" of the Master, though the feature does also acknowledge the interim "twelfth and final regeneration" portrayed by [[Peter Pratt]] and [[Geoffrey Beevers]]. | * The behind the scenes book ''[[A Celebration: Two Decades Through Time and Space]]'' (1983) had a feature entitled ''The Two Regenerations of the Master'', also referring to ''The Two Faces of the Master'', namely the Delgado Master and the Ainley Master.

* ''[[Doctor Who Pinball: Time Streams]]'' featured an uncredited actor as the Master, with a vocal impression based upon the performance of Anthony Ainley. Though it had originally been planned to have Ainley record lines for the pinball game, but due to confusion and slow passing of information from [[Bill Pfutzenreuter]] through various individuals to Ainley and vice versa, this did not come to pass.<ref>http://pfutz.us/UnofficialDoctorWhoPinballHistory/</ref> It would later be discovered that Ainley had soon after sent a letter to one individual involved in the chain of communication to explain that his UK agents had not been helpful in the matter and that he had not been able to properly consider the project.<ref>http://pfutz.us/UnofficialDoctorWhoPinballHistory/AnthLtr.jpg</ref> | * ''[[Doctor Who Pinball: Time Streams]]'' featured an uncredited actor as the Master, with a vocal impression based upon the performance of Anthony Ainley.
