Those of you who read my journal regularly are probably aware that, every night before I go to bed, I get down on my knees and pray that John Simm will return as the Master for one of the 2009 Doctor Who specials.*

Nothing has been announced yet, BUT…

John Simm is out doing interviews for his latest project, The Devil's Whore, and he keeps saying things that get my hopes up.

"Ryan is proud of the fact that his dad's been in Dr Who - one of the reasons I wanted to be in the programme, in the first place, is because he's such a fan of the show - but he was a bit freaked out by all the attention and I'm sorry it happened that way.

"Though I'm not, by the way," adds John, hastily, "ruling out a return to Dr Who in the future.

"It's too exciting a show to be a part of for me to do that."
From the Daily Record

I mean, he complains about the attention, so I'm all "Oh no, does that mean he won't do it again???" and then he qualifies it to say that, don't worry, he would TOTALLY do it again anyway. Surely he wouldn't say that unless there was, y'know, an actual serious possibility of him returning? He's certainly not talking about it like it's some job of the distant past....

And then this one is even better:

Has the Beeb asked him to be Doctor Who? “I'm the Master. Simple as that. I don't want to be Doctor Who. I might be the Master again... I'm not allowed to say.”
From the Times Online

WHY WOULD HE NOT BE ALLOWED TO SAY UNLESS HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING IT? I mean, I don't think he'd be forbidden to say that he's not coming back, right? If he wasn't coming back, he wouldn't have a contract to forbid him from saying anything! Right????

Also, "I'm the Master." Present tense, not "I was the Master" but "I am the Master." That totally indicates his state of mind. He's got to be coming back. Surely he can't be dropping all these hints just to torture me?

Christ, they'd better make an announcement soon or I think my head will explode.

* I don't actually do this.

Current Mood: hopeful & nervous
