McGann: Charles Dance Would Be a Great Master

Eighth Doctor Paul McGann has given his support to the suggestion of veteran actor Charles Dance playing the next incarnation of the Master.

McGann, who also starred alongside Dance in Alien³, told Flicks and the City: “He’d be great, he’s a fantastic actor. He’s still got a twinkle in his eye. I don’t know where he gets it from, but he’s always had it.”

He adds: “The Master is never going to go away, is he. Rather like the Doctor himself he can take any guise, so I suppose he could look like an ageing roué from the depths of space.

“He’d bring great gravitas and old fashioned charm.”
