Who's Mr Saxon?



Christmas special, towards the end, you see a tank driving through the streets of London and hear a transmission coming in through its radio...

"Message from Mr Saxon... Fire at will!"

----

Then, right at the end of Episode I - in the alley, there's a poster on the wall saying "Vote Saxon"...


----

Then of course there's this...

Traveller in Time so much for spoilers
"About the name and where it has been seen:
< F79498?thread=612257&skip=3940&show=20#p47176523 >
The external WEB site:
< F79498?thread=3895759&skip=20&show=20#p47193955 >"

True - but at least with the spoiler warning on the top of this thread we can talk about it without getting shouted at

Traveller in Time on top
"So we keep this thread for discussing 'information' not jet broadcasted on BBC television ?

('information' as it often appears to be only guesswork) "

Also at the end when Martha's sat in her bedroom you can hear on the radio 'This proves Mr. Saxon is right, there are aliens out there', or something along those lines.

Hang on that is John Simm..... I tohught he was going to play.... oh never mind ....

This thread is marked "potential spoilers" so you can mention that rumour has it, John Simms is going to play either a time-travelling policeman or ...

Well the lads from "Life on Mars" said whilst on Soccer AM that John Simm couldn't come on because he was off being filmed for Dr Who as "The Master".....

According to wikipedia (so big pinches of salt please) Mister Saxon is an anagram of Master no six. It goes on to say that John Simm would indeed be the sixth actor to play the master (allthough given he has had more than six regenerations that does not seem to make that much sense).

The Master has had more than six regenerations, but only six people have portrayed him on screen.

Which I did say in my post....

And there should also be a link to something called Lazarus Labs on the Saxon webpage. And one of the contact persons for Lazarus Labs is a Tish Jones, which was a family member of Martha.

I do love all this speculation....

I know, but you also said there being only six actors who have offically played the Master doesn't make sense because he's had more than six regenerations...

I think the Axons may be involved too from the hints on the Saxon website

... and while that's a handy anagram, it's also a) coincidence and b) wrong, because seven actors have been credited with playing the Master on TV.

Poor Gordon Tipple. Never remembered, is he?

Is that including the snake-thing?
