I Am The Master was the tenth story of the eighth season of Big Finish Productions' Short Trips series.

Publisher's summary Edit

There is a message for you. It comes from a long way, from a dying world. No, not a dying world. A killed world. And the message is from the killer.

Please attend carefully. The message that follows is vital to your future...

However much longer that may be.

Plot Edit

Characters Edit

References Edit

Locations Edit

The Master once flattened Rome.
Glox is a pink planet with a large diversity of life.

Species Edit

The Master mentions the Cloud Hangers of Galaxy 357, the Luminescence Sea Squids of Nebula 9 and the Light-Seeking Seed Pod Intelligence of Interplanetary Travel.

Individuals Edit

The Master mentions his mother and father back on Gallifrey.

Notes Edit

In the style of The Companion Chronicles, this story is told from the Master's perspective.
Big Finish's Backstage description states that I Am The Master takes place after The Keeper of Traken.^[1]
While bragging about being the most intelligent creature the universe has ever produced, the Master tells the listener to not dare think of any other, remarking that, "his reputation is altogether overrated... as hers will be, in a future time you haven't yet seen", referring to the Thirteenth Doctor.

Continuity Edit

The Master muses about the possibility of a galaxy reserved for multiplying clones of himself, before having a feeling that he will already try that at some point. (TV: The End of Time)
The Master recalls stealing multiple bodies. (TV: The Keeper of Traken, Doctor Who; PROSE: Forgotten; AUDIO: Mastermind)
