Is This the “Average” Face of the Master?

Prepared to be a little bit freaked out!

Dave Clipson, whose name was officially crowned the Perfect Name For YouTube late last year, has morphed together the faces of the Masters – the in-canon ones anyway. He starts with Roger Delgado, adds in some Anthony Ainley, has a bucket full of Eric Roberts, a dash of Derek Jacobi, swirls in some John Simm, then tops it off with Michelle Gomez hundreds-and-thousands. In addition, he burns the mixture with the so-called “Crispy Masters” aka Geoffrey Beevers’ and Peter Pratt’s incarnations from The Deadly Assassin, and The Keeper of Traken.

Clipson then used WinMorph and Photoshop to find the average faces of the Master. The results are funny and more than a little unsettling. And thanks to the Masters from NuWho, the “Average” face is sans beard. Instead, there’s a five o’clock shadow, or as I call it: A Sign of Things To Grow.

In an odd sort of way, the video is quite hypnotising. Seems appropriate, don’t you think?
