Michelle Gomez has briefly been discussing her upcoming Doctor Who return in a recent interview to promote her new comedy web series, Heather’s American Medicine.
The actress, who was revealed as the first female incarnation of the Master during the Series 8 finale, will be back with a vengeance in the Series 9 two-part premiere, The Magician’s Apprentice and The Witch’s Familiar, and told Digital Spy that it was “a delight” to step back into Missy’s shoes. “Steven Moffat writes her beautifully,” she said. “I get to have a little more fun with her again this year.”
It has previously been confirmed that Missy is going to “surprise everyone” in Series 9.
I still believe the female master was only introduced to get us used to the idea of having a gender swapping Timelord.
Thus, paving the way for the next incarnation of the doctor to be played by a woman.
I have no objection to a female Doctor or Master (although, as I’ve mentioned before, the name ‘Missy’ is just cringe-worthy). It just feels like a shit way to have had to go about it, if my theory proves correct.
