"John Simm has been quoted as saying that he gets frustrated by Doctor Who fans. The Mad Dogs actor - who played the Doctor&amp;#039;s nemesis, The Master, in five episodes between 2007 and 2010 - allegedly told the Radio Times that aficionados of the sci-fi drama are &amp;quot;full-on&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I do get a lot of Doctor Who [recognition],&amp;quot; the quotes read. &amp;quot;God almighty, I&amp;#039;ll be so happy when that&amp;#039;s gone from my life. [The fans are] lovely, I&amp;#039;m sure, but I won&amp;#039;t miss it. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s great to be into something, but for goodness&amp;#039; sake, really? I&amp;#039;m not the Master, I&amp;#039;m not that evil Time Lord who rules the galaxy, I&amp;#039;m just in Tesco with my kids. Leave me alone!&amp;quot; However, Simm has since taken to Twitter to claim that the Radio Times had &amp;quot;done a number&amp;quot; on him and that his quotes were taken &amp;quot;out of context&amp;quot;. I haven&amp;#039;t done an interview for them for many years, because of this. Nasty, spiteful, trouble causing &amp;#039;Journalism&amp;#039;. I meant no disrespect \u2014 John Simm (@john_simm) May 28, 2013 He continued: &amp;quot;To &amp;#039;Whovians&amp;#039; or whoever. It&amp;#039;s a non story. I always try to be polite to fans and am v proud of my time in the show. You can choose to believe what you like but I really meant no offence. I&amp;#039;ve obviously pissed off some bored journalist coz I wouldn&amp;#039;t do an interview.&amp;quot; In October last year, Simm revealed that he would like to bring a &amp;quot;dark&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;quieter&amp;quot; edge to The Master if he were to ever reprise the role. Doctor Who will return to BBC One in November for its 50th anniversary episode. &amp;gt; BBC denies Doctor Who racism allegations Watch a clip of John Simm in Doctor Who below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
