Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has suggested that John Simm could reprise his role as The Master.

The Life On Mars star appeared as The Doctor's arch-nemesis in five episodes between 2007 and 2010.

At a recent Doctor Who screening in New York, Moffat suggested that Simm could reappear in a future episode.

"After [his last appearance] he'd been saying, 'I think now that David [Tennant]'s left as the Doctor, I would have to leave the Master'.

"He [later] pulled me aside and said, 'I didn't mean that! Look at me, I'm fit, I'm okay!'"

Moffat also dismissed the suggestion that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch could replace Simm.

"Benedict has to wait in line probably," he said.

The new series of Doctor Who premieres on April 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

I'm not sure I would want John Simm back again, I like him and all and thought he was awesome in Life on Mars, but it seems a bit silly to me to always have The Master as the same actor when we are going through multiple doctors

My thought exactly. Should recast him.

Same here. Even in the old shows the Master never stayed the same either.

Just because the actor can change, doesn't mean it needs to change. It's nice to have interlinking arcs and histories with these characters, if they all 'reset' at once it can become to seperated. I'd like to see Simm as the Doctor again - even if it is just to give him the on-screen regeneration he deserves.

Thought I would share this here, figuring mostly people that come to this board will be the only ones to care about it.

Is it just me or does any one find the acting of who ever plays River Song and her lines completely cringe worthy? Out of the main cast I pretty much vote her as the worst actor of the lot :/ That or something about her extreme cockiness feels out of place.

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
