Mark Gatiss is one of a rare breed of people who seems to instinctively understand every incarnation of the Doctor to the point where it would surely be impossible for him to create an adversary who was not worthy to tackle the ever ticking and calculating brain of the traveller in time and space, and in the Last Of The Gaderene, that deeply rooted appreciative voice transfers itself neatly to that of the Third personification of the strange wanderer in the fourth dimension as they take on, not only The Master, but an alien entity driven by misfortune and which has turned to envy and desire, as they focus their attention on destroying humanity so they can colonise the planet and restore life to their dying civilisation.
