There's several versions.  I've got a soft spot for the Anthony Ainley Master... mostly because I saw him the most during my childhood.  His version of the Master can be kinda hammy at times, but ... well... hey, he's insane.

I know. But any of them would be fine with me because I tend to feel very sad for the Master even without woobifying him. Netflix didn't have any episodes with the Master in them. They seemed to conveniently miss uploading them.

Yeah.  I feel bad for him too.  Looking back at Classic DW with the knowledge of how the Master eventually turned out, and what made him the way he is (even if it probably wasn't even thought of having that particular reason for his insanity back then), I view him less as a stereotypical mustache-twirling villain.
It puts a different spin on The Five Doctors, when you think of what the Time Lords did to him.  Blissfully ignorant, he was.

My favorite Master was always Anthony Ainley, he didn't always get the best scripts but I have a weakness for "hammy" acting and he always went all in when playing the Master.

Also, found this video of old bloopers

EDIT: watching Ghost Light again, it was a shame it didn't get 4 episodes to fully flesh out the plot, but it's still one of my favorite serials in the history of the show, definitely a high note for the last classic season.

Ever since I wrote it up, I've been waffling linking people to a fic I made starring the Doctor (10) and the Master.

Be kind?

If you aren't intimately aware of the childhoods and early adulthoods of either Time Lord most of this will seem like I made it all up when it comes to their names for each other and various parts of their time in knowing each other.

I will never be able to watch "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" before bed.  Just.  Can't.  Do it.

Hmm... I found Midnight and Blink to be creepier (actually most of the Weeping Angels eps), but I guess your scary mileage will vary, of course.

Love that episode, probably my favorite of all of Moffats stuff. Blink is my second favorite, it's a shame Moffat started to needlessly complicate the Weeping Angels in Series 5.

Well, it certainly isn't awful!  ;)

Blink is only creepy if you watch The Doctor's recording by itself.

My friend wanted to go back and re-watch all of NuWho since we started watching it together in S7, and she'd missed a couple episodes from previous seasons.  So, we've just started over again with "Rose" and have watched the first couple episodes of Nine's run.

God, I'd almost forgotten there was a time when companions were actual human beings instead of plot devices only worth keeping around because there's some "mystery" attached to them.  I remember being kind of "meh" about the first half of S1 when I first saw it, but after three years of Moffat's brand of empty expository storytelling, I've come to appreciate the earlier episodes much more.

Weird, with the exception of Donna I thought the companions from the RTD era were pretty poorly written. I'll agree that Clara has proved to be pretty underwhelming so far and the whole "Impossible Girl" aspect was pretty unnecessary but I'll take Amy and Rory over Rose any day.

But then again, none can compare to god-tier companion Ace.
