      There is no Ainley story on this. It would’ve been pointless. People who bought the DVD would be saying “Where is that guy on the cover in these DVD’s?”.

      The Masters in order from my most favorite to least: Ainley, Delgado, Pratt/Beavers, Jacobi, Simm, and Roberts. I really don’t like the Roberts Master…

    • josh smith

      July 15th, 2013 - 9:05pm

      mine are

      delgado
      Ainly
      peter prat
      eric roberts
      beavers
      simm

      jacobi isnt the master

    • josh smith

      July 15th, 2013 - 9:06pm

      delgado being the best and simm being the worst

    • Scott the Raptor

      July 16th, 2013 - 9:58am

      My order from best to worst:

      1. Roger Delgado – He really just stole the role.
      2. John Simm – He is great at playing an ‘insane’ and ‘darker’ Master.
      3. Peter Pratt – He managed to act brilliantly when covered in make up and ping pong ball eyes
      4. Beavers – For the same reason as Pratt. He just wasn’t as good as him.
      5. Roberts – I thought he played him very well. I loved his Time Lord costume as well!
      6. Ainley – I couldn’t help but feel like they tried to make Ainley’s Master too much like Delgado’s.

      Can you tell me why you put each Master as that number, Dalek galt? It will be interesting to find out.

    This is the one I’ll be picking up as it’s the only one with stories that I don’t yet own! I must say though that these covers are all awsome!

    I wonder if they might have reversible covers? Delgado on the other side?

      Great idea! It would be cool if that we’re the same for all of them, like a classic version of the monster on the other side.

    • Dalek The Supreme

      July 15th, 2013 - 6:31pm

      I hope so, it would be completely awesome.

    is it just me or is the tardis flipped in the backround because it is really looks ugly and puts off the cover

    • Scott the Raptor

      July 15th, 2013 - 10:20am

      Nope, it’s not flipped.

    July 12th, 2013 - 8:02pm

    I’m kind of sad they didn’t put one with Ainley in it, but as I said on the Dalek one, it connects then and now better with the earliest and the most recent stories with the monster.

      I believe I explained in my comment.

      why not

      mind of evil
      suvival

      1 old master and 1 new one

      I agree, I may not be the first but ‘The Mind Of Evil’ is much better than ‘Terror Of The Autons’ just basically, but it also is more Master-involved and he is the central villain, in the latter he is just a third wheel compared to everything else. Plus, I never found John Simm as a believable version of the Master and, even though I hate Ainley’s Master, he had good episodes such as ‘Planet Of Fire’ or ‘Survival’.

    • josh smith

      July 13th, 2013 - 2:51pm

      i have not seen the mind of evil is the colour good on it?

    • Dalek The Supreme

      July 13th, 2013 - 3:25pm

      Survival and Mind of Evil are both Classics, these stories are trying to connect the first fully surviving appearance of each monster with their most recent. If I had my way, it would be Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords instead of End of Time, but they decided to put in the most recent appearance, so good for those who like End of Time more than I did.

    • josh smith

      July 14th, 2013 - 8:17am

      utopia isnt connected

    • Dalek The Supreme

      July 15th, 2013 - 6:32pm

      It is, it explains how the Master arrived on Earth, and why the Doctor and co. don’t have the TARDIS.

    Terror of the autons is a brilliant story, i already have it so i wont get this. and i agree that delgado should be on the front too.

    They could’ve put one of those shimmering images on the cover – one being Delgado and the other being Simm

      I know, they always use the new-who stuff on these covers. Quite annoying how there supposed to be a 50th anniversary product, yet they only use images from the 21st century series

    • booboo

      July 12th, 2013 - 4:17pm

      because the target audience for these are more likely to recognise John Sim

    • Some bloke

      July 12th, 2013 - 4:20pm

      then why not put both on. I mean both incarnations are in there so…

      Notice which episodes they’ve used – the first and latest episodes of each character/monster (save for the Cybermen because Tenth Planet isn’t released yet)

    • josh smith
