Doctor Who’s arch-enemy to return

John Simm is to return to Doctor Who as the Time Lord’s archnemesis the Master.

The Life On Mars actor played the Master in five episodes of the BBC1 sci-fi show and will return to do battle with Peter Capaldi in the forthcoming series.

He was last seen in the role on New Year’s Day 2010 and Simm has previously said he had grown fed-up with the attention he received from fans of the show.

The new series, which starts on April 15, will also feature Michelle Gomez as Missy – a later regeneration of the Master.

Simm said: “It’s always a pleasure to work with this great team of people and I can’t wait for you all to see what the Master gets up to in the next series.” Arbroath’s Signal Tower Museum has shone new light on an important piece of maritime heritage with the reopening of the Bell Rock lens room after several years in the shade.

The seafront building’s keepers, ANGUSalive, can now show the lens in a new and contemporary display that highlights its structure and beauty.

Museum officer Kirsten Couper said: “We are all delighted to open the doors to the lens room once again.

“We are often asked by visitors about the lens and having this space reopened is a wonderful addition to the telling of the story of the Bell Rock lighthouse.

“We are sure the public will share our pleasure at seeing the new lens room.”
