"Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has suggested that John Simm could reprise his role as The Master. The Life On Mars star appeared as The Doctor&amp;#039;s arch-nemesis in five episodes between 2007 and 2010. At a recent Doctor Who screening in New York, Moffat suggested that Simm could reappear in a future episode. &amp;quot;After [his last appearance] he&amp;#039;d been saying, &amp;#039;I think now that David [Tennant]&amp;#039;s left as the Doctor, I would have to leave the Master&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;He [later] pulled me aside and said, &amp;#039;I didn&amp;#039;t mean that! Look at me, I&amp;#039;m fit, I&amp;#039;m okay!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Moffat also dismissed the suggestion that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch could replace Simm. &amp;quot;Benedict has to wait in line probably,&amp;quot; he said. The new series of Doctor Who premieres on April 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US. &amp;gt; John Simm: &amp;#039;My Master is unhinged&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
