The War Master Extended Opening Theme (Middle Eight)

The extended version of the theme which can be heard in the trailer for series 5 and at the end of Series 5 Episode 4

The thing about the Master’s laugh is this:
This is an incarnation that is *anything* but mad. There’s no room for madness because this is an incarceration rammed to the brim with evil and that laugh shows it.
That’s not insanity. That’s someone who is evil and *loves* being evil.

The drums, the drums, the drums, the never ending drumbeat. Open me, you human fool. Open the light and summon me and receive my majesty!

[Dray]

God I love this theme, its like a distorted and mad version of the regular theme. Just like how Jacobi's Master is a mad and distorted version of the Doctor

[TheBowTizzle]

The thing I love the most about this theme is how much it sounds like the theme of a typical “alien invader”. Like, flying saucers, laser weapons, all that jazz

And somehow it still fits The Master to a T. At his core, he is an alien threat aiming to make the whole of reality kneel.

Derek could be the best big finish master The man is incapable of bad acting

[briang.]

huh fun how the four-beat rhythm they do for the Doctor Who theme takes on new meaning here

[tenshiigarashi]

The first thing I did when I could find a Jacobi Master figure ( they should really release a War Master one) was pose Delgado and Jacobi shaking hands. Honestly Delgado would be proud. In my mind Jacobi is the only Master that is even with Delgado ( I really can't decide now which of them is better...that's how good Jacobi is). In my mind the conversation between my figures goes something like this Delgado : "It is quite pleasing to see my evil reputation through the cosmos is in safe hands" Jacobi : "You could say that"... * Evil laughter* *This theme plays*.

0:08 is my favorite part of the soundtrack, because you can really hear and see the evil, the intensity and the cruelty of the Master’s universe and role in the Last Great Time War; truly The War Masterpiece.

His Laugh is so maliciously evil I love it!

[vanimapermai]

Derek Jacobi is the best modern master

[HerohammerStudios]

Wish they would release this theme officially so we didn't have to rip it from an episode just to have a listen

[gaminggamer]

having listened to War Master 1... wow. This guy is a monster.

[jackskellingtonsora]

Derek Jacobi is THE Master is my opinion. He's so brilliant in the role. So manipulative and calculating. So pure evil in how he destroys people's lives and leaves you emotionally devastated, but wanting more. I do love Missy, she's my second favorite, but no other Master can match Derek Jacobi's pure evil Master.

ALL HAIL THE MASTER!!! ALL HAIL THE MASTER!!!

This is so good and on point! Thanks for uploading!

[iceomistar]

I love how the Master wins in these boxsets, in a normal story the Doctor would outwit him but here in the 2 times he meets the Doctor he beats him

[bobo]

Derek Jacobi, able to change between benevolent grandfather to complete megalomaniac on a dime. Brilliant choice for the Master.

[ameliawade]

Okay so here's the thing... I think I love the war master series even more than I like regular doctor who XD Seriously though Jacobi's master has become my favourite villain in all of who bar none

[tableprinterdoor]

I want someone to edit this into an opening with his TARDIS flying... "Master Who" idk

[bobo]

So if there was a spin-off on TV, would it be called “Master Who” Or “Master of What”.
