Dr Who Trivia

[Fred588]

When, as a character, was the "master" not the "master"? Hint: When "he" was "MIssy," is not the answer sought. Hint2: It occurred in the original series.

When the Master was a doctor?

[Fred588]

When the Master was a doctor?

Nope, unless that is incidental to the real answer.

[QuicksandMania]

When he was "The Monk" in "The Time Meddler"?

When he was dressed as that weird, fat, Asian-looking dude in "Time-Flight"?

When he was "The Monk" in "The Time Meddler"?

When he was dressed as that weird, fat, Asian-looking dude in "Time-Flight"?

I'd have to say "not correct" although one never knows when some other connection might turn up. "The Time Meddler" involved another time lord (called The Monk) but so far as I am aware the Monk is not the Master and the actor playing the monk never played the Master. The "Asian dude" in Time Flight WAS the master, simply in disguise and later revealed himself as such so that does not work for the trivia question either.

Hint 3: You are not far off, however.

[QuicksandMania]

When he was "The Deadly Assassin"?

When he was "The Keeper of Traken"?

[Fred588]

When he was "The Deadly Assassin"?

When he was "The Keeper of Traken"?

No. In Keeper of Traken, the actor who subsequently played the Master played another role. That could be the answer if the question was "When did the actor who played the master play a character other than the master?" but that is not how the question was written. The Deadly Assassin was the Master all the way.

Could it be from Utopia?

[Fred588]

Could it be from Utopia?

Nope.

[Fred588]

I'll give this a few more days and then provide the answer if no one gets it first. Hint 4: Its from an episode from among the first ten seasons.
