« on: 17 May, 2007, 04:41:28 PM »

According to Popbitch (and they admit it could all be rubbish...

   * John Simm as Mr Saxon, the PM, gets taken
   over by The Master.
   * The Master did this by hiding from the
   time war in the Tardis and waiting for the
   right body to come along (like in Hellraiser 3)
   * The Master becomes a Timelord again by
   splicing The Doctor's DNA and temporarily
   taking over Dr Who's body.
   * cliff-hangers at end are whether The Doctor
   rids himself of The Master, and whether the
   big explosion you see is Galifrey or Earth.

70 years today... wherever he is.

Has anyone read much of him? I read the supposedly easy (for him) Crying of Lot 49 a few years ago which was pretty mind-blowing. I keep meaning to attempt Gravity's Rainbow but it sounds pretty hard work.

The obvious comics connection is he's quoted in V for Vendetta.
