In a chat with Sky News<\/a>, he was asked which of the Doctor\u2019s recurring foes are at the top of his wish list for season 14, naming a fellow Time Lord who has proven to be a cunning adversary time and time again.<\/p>\n \u201cAny baddies? Oh! I don\u2019t know who\u2019s coming up,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n Davies went on: \u201cNew ones,\u201d before Gatwa suggested: \u201cMaybe the Master? The Master, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n Davies interjected: \u201cOr the Missy. The Master can be female as well.\u201d<\/p> Davies brought the Master back from a long absence in 2007, where he was played briefly by Sir Derek Jacobi and, at greater length, by John Simm.<\/p>\n The Master later returned in female form during Steven Moffat\u2019s time at the wheel, as played by Michelle Gomez, going then by the name Missy (as referenced by Davies above).<\/p>\n Most recently, The Great<\/a> and Suspect<\/a> star Sacha Dhawan has taken on the role, making his debut as the Master in 2020 episode Spyfall<\/a> and soon to be returning for the upcoming centenary special.<\/p>\n Dhawan has earned acclaim for his performance as well as the adoration of many Doctor Who fans, so it\u2019s quite possible Davies could choose to keep him around even after the creative shake-up that\u2019s about to hit the show.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
