On the subject of that character I'd have loved to seen more of Derek Jacobis Master.
I've just finished series 3 of the new series. I really do find RTD's run infuriating at times. The pop culture stuff really grates (the Master watching the Teletubbies, Sharon Osbourne and Ann Widdecombe's Saxon endorsement videos), everyone willing the Doctor back from being an aged dwarf into a Super Mega Doctor through physical prayer) but then you get a scene like the Doctor willing the Master to regenerate after being shot which is incredibly powerful and well-executed and shows you what the show can be capable of.
