RIP Michael Jayston (29.10.1935 - 5.2.2024)

"Well, I played a lot of interesting people. I was Siegfried Sassoon in ‘Mad Jack’, and played Beethoven and Rochester in Jane Eyre amongst others. When I did Equus in 1976, a critic described my work on television as ‘odd bits of TV’, but these are no small parts for an actor."

Doctor Who - who's in the vault????

All y'all saying it's one or both of the Masters in the vault but u know what I think?

I think it's the Doctor in there.

I think Twelve is keeping his future self (still Twelve but from the future) in the vault. Hence the Beethoven piano playing. Hence Twelve telling the one in the vault stories and bringing him food he KNOWS he himself likes. It's fucking Twelve in the vault guys.

It's Twelve in the vault and if you aren't convinced yet then lemme just lay some future potential proof on you by reminding you about this guy right here:

Who's this Classic Who weirdo you might ask? Why he's none other than The Valeyard – described by the Master as an amalgamation of the Doctor's darker sides from between his twelfth and final incarnations.

He was portrayed by Michael Jayston in the original series but just try to tell me Michael Jayston don't look petty got dang similar to Peter Capaldi.

The Sixth Doctor spent the entirety of Season 23 of the series trying to stop this evil mother fucker version of himself. And you know how he finally fucking managed to do it? By getting the help of The Master.

It's fucking Twelve in the vault guys. It's Twelve as The Valeyard in the vault, and he's gonna need the help of not one but two Masters to defeat himself when the time comes.

(And if it turns out not to be Twelve in the vault then the writers are missing a god damn trick I tell ya what)
