Doctor Who - Utopia Review

The Master returned eight years ago today. We look back at his NuWho return in Utopia.

Doctor Who:
Utopia
By Russell T. Davies

“I… Am…The Master.”

The Doctor, Martha and Jack travel so far in the future that they literally have ended up towards the end of the universe.  They have gone so far that Time Lords never ventured there when they were still in existence.   The last humans are trying to get to Utopia with the help of a rocket ship that Professor Yana is trying to make lift off.

The Doctor offers his services and with the help with some power from the TARDIS the ship is ready to launch towards Utopia.  The Future Kind do not want the humans to leave for Utopia because then there would not be any humans for them to eat anymore and they are hungry.  So they have an agent that is trying to sabotage the launch.   The Doctor and Jack fix that problem but have encountered another when Martha informs The Doctor that Yana has a watch just like he does and she suspects he is another Time Lord.  She is correct in her guess but unfortunately for them that Time Lord happens to be The Master who is now reborn to wreak havoc on the universe once again.

The David Tennant Years - I Don't Want To Go

By Paul Bowler

David Tennant is perhaps one of the few people who seem to have truly been born to play the role of The Doctor. The Scot actor and self-confessed Dr Who fan really did get to live the dream of travelling in time and space, and after studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Tennant’s early television career included roles in Rab C Nesbit and Taking over the Asylum to name but a few. By the time Christopher Eccelston had decided he was not returning for a second season, Russell T Davies had already chosen David Tennant to be his successor.  David Tennant was already closely associated with Big Finish Audio Plays, having appeared in Colditz (2001), Sympathy for the Devil and Exile (2002), as well as roles in Dalek Empire III and Medicinal Purposes in 2004 and even the online animated story Scream of the Shalka (2003). By the time Tennant was offered the role of the Doctor while filming the BBC’s three part drama about the life of Casanova, you could say that his appointment with destiny had been sealed, and after only a few days consideration, David Tennant embraced the roll of our favourite Time Lord and effectively made it his own.
