Since the early 1950s I can remember many of Roger Delgado's performances on TV. I was very impressed by a slightly different performance when at Easter 1968 or 1969 when he delivered a series of readings of The Psalms as St. Augustine of Hlppo in a masterly way!

As I only really came into watching Dr Who in the early 80's never saw Roger Delgado as the master, but watching him now on britbox as the master during

The Guardian has written today (080120) that “the first ever actor of colour” is to play the Master in the newly feminized version with quizshow fool Bradley Walsh. Roger Delgado was a striking, skilled, convincing and utterly scarifying Master AND had not only handsomely dark skin colour but put colour into the role. I’m glad to have grown up watching him. I shall tomorrow seek out some of his famous interaction with real Doctor Whos such as Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee.

Roger was a fantastic actor and I remember him fondly whilst partially hiding behind the sofa during Dr Who.Thanks for giving us so much entertainment in all of your familiar roles.

As a Classic Whovian, I honor Mr. Delgado on what would be his centennial birthday. Though I was not yet born during his time portraying the Master, I learned about his excellence in this role from watching episodes of Classic Dr. Who. May God have granted his family peace since the years of his Earthly passing. May his family also have comfort in their memories of him and in the body of work preserved for generations to come so they will be able to know about him and the roles he portrayed so well.
