Geoffrey Beevers is to return as the Master in the first season of The Fourth Doctor Audio Adventures from Big Finish, alongside Tom Baker and Louise Jameson. Geoffrey previously played the role on television in The Keeper of Traken in 1981, and twice on audio in Dust Breeding and Master.
“It’s great to have Geoffrey back as the Master,” says executive producer Nicholas Briggs. “He is one of the loveliest actors I’ve ever worked with, and with him featuring in a really top-notch Alan Barnes script, our first series of adventures with Tom will end on a real high.”
