It’s hard to go into details here without massive spoilers, because there is a twist at the end of the second volume that really does turn everything on its head. And what a return it is, for Hearts of Darkness may be the best War Master story to date. But Big Finish in their wisdom have brought the War Master back for a fifth volume, which again sees him pitted against Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor. Like so many other fans, I assumed that was it. I loved the first four volumes, and the complete circle they brought to the character. It’s only fitting that Jacobi’s Master receive the Big Finish treatment. Yet in that brief time he established himself as one of the most memorable incarnations of the evil Time Lord. ?ĭerek Jacobi appeared on-screen in Doctor Who for all of forty minutes, and for only five of them did he really play the Doctor’s most famous enemy. At the height of the Time War, these former friends find themselves caught in a desperate bid to seize control of the universe, but who can really be trusted with such power. Two of the Time Lord’s most infamous sons, and two of history’s greatest rivals. Cast: Derek Jacobi, Paul McGann, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Colin McFarlane, et al.
