Is it me or does “Henry” look like the master?
They both look like they could be the Master, but I am guessing (hoping?) that our esteemed hosts wouldn’t go to the same villain twice in a row.
Incidentally, sorry I didn’t post on the prior page, but a very belated Happy Birthday, Rich!
Thank you, Mark!
Panel 6 – Masterly expression
The beard seems slightly transparent in panel 8. :/
I wish you a happy birthday and thanksgiving all wrapped into one fun holiday/birthday.
and thanks for making more. I’m with Mark on this, I think we’ve seen enough of the master for now.. and two of him would be just plain silly, so I’m trusting that’s not your plan this time.
I love all this Doctor Who stuff! I am a big fan of the show itself and very much enjoyed The Ten Doctors. Now I am enjoying both this and reading YAFGC daily. I, like the other dude, didn’t comment on the last page… So happy happy happy birthday Rich!!! Keep on doing comics! It’s amazing how you capture the faces of the Doctor. I read the Ten Doctors before watching the classic Doctor Who and now I can tell each doctor apart solely from reading that comic. You are amazing!!!
Why do I get the impression that this is going to be a ‘pure historical’? 13 pages and nothing suggestive of an alien presence, or anyone from the future (other than the Doctor and his companion).
The Master again??? Surely a second villain should be lurking about . . .
@Birdman Since Hilary is writing this one, it might just be she’s taking a bit of time to set up the Elizabethan history.
My first thougt was the Master as well, and I was thinking not again! Not only has he been in the last 2 comics, he is also supposed 2 be in the 2 part Xmas special as well. But this guy looks more Anthony Ainley than Robert Delgado, so it probably isn’t the Master.
I smell a conspiracy.
Lord Dudley looks something like Vincent Price (who was making movies in England around the same time Jon Pertwee was essaying the Doctor).
Just sayin’.
Belated Happy Birthday, Rich. Been reading since the early days of the Ten Doctors but have never commented before. Enjoying all your great work as always. A new strip always brings a smile to my day. Thanks.
@Mitchell Craig:
Vincent Price’s work in England in the 70s has an unusual Dr Who connection. He starred in a BBC radio serial called “Aliens in the Mind” alongside the two “alternative” versions of the first Doctor (Peter Cushing was his co-star and Richard Hurndall played one of the villains) and the whole series was based on a rejected DW storyline by Robert Holmes!
It’s well worth tracking down a copy if you’re interested in the more unusual bit of DW’s history, or just want to hear two classic horror stars working together.
Just as lots of planets have a north, lots of men (especially in Elizabethan times) have facial hair. I’m 99.9% certain that both men are who Rich says they are. Yes, I’m the type of person who likes to leave at least 0.1% wiggle room.
Rich, did you base your view of the Thames on a picture from that time period?
I suppose the real question is… will we see Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, as played by Christopher Eccleston in Elizabeth?
Hmmm… do I smell the Master?…
Yeah, I’m going to have to say “Master” too.
I think Pierre from Forever Janette might make a cameo in this story somehow, although if The Master turns up, given the Pertwee era, it might be the Delgado Master, rather than the Ainley version…
