Heh, heh, heh. Oh, my dear readers, you have been naive – Doctor Who Magazine 560 belongs to the Master!
On the second of January 1971 an innocent looking horsebox appeared from nowhere with a familiar wheezing, groaning sound. And the man that emerged introduced himself as universally known as… the Master! With issue 560 Doctor Who Magazine looks back at five decades of the most evil Time Lord of them all.

- Sacha Dhawan – the Master himself is on hand to answer fiendishly random questions from the TARDIS Tin
- Frontier in Space – Never intended as Roger Delgado’s final appearance, last minute editing left his exit from the show a scene of confusion for viewers. DWM delves deep to uncover the solution
- The Fact of Fiction – Jonathan Pryce only played the Master once – for The Curse of Fatal Death. Fact of Fiction turns its insightful gaze on that 1999 Comic Relief Special
- The Dæmons – Patrick Mulkern accompanies Katy Manning and John Levene on a return visit to Aldbourne, nearly 50 years after filming there for perhaps the best Master story of all
