YES. I mean, a large part of it is that John Simm just sells it so damn well.
And I am finding it a little strange that I am ferociously attracted to John Simm as Saxon!Master and not at all attracted to him as Sam Tyler. The fuck, brain?
Ohhh that feeling. Yeah, I remember being deeply disconcerted when I'd just spent eight episodes going "Aww oh my god Sam you need SNUGGLES" and then I watched Sound of Drums and was like "...what even, DO ME." I think it is because the Master is made of sex appeal and Sam is made of woobie.
