Summary Doctor Who introduced a terrifying new villain, Maestro, in "The Devil's Chord" that not only stopped the Doctor in his tracks but teased the larger story for this season that was hinted at by the Toymaker. When Ruby and the Doctor travel to the 1960s in order to see one of the most iconic moments in music history with The Beatles they find that the world is wrong. Music has been stolen from the hearts of humanity and something or someone is to blame.
The Connection Between Maestro & The Toymaker Makes Doctor Who's New Villain "Much More Nuanced" Davies knew Monsoon would be perfect for the role of Maestro, the new villain with a connection to the Toymaker trying to wipe out all music. This character needs to have the over-the-top energy of the Gods that Harris brought in, along with the truly menacing trait of being a difficult adversary for the Doctor. She revealed how Davies knew she could bring Maestro to life.
One of the things I found really interesting was Maestro's connection to the Toymaker. So I was curious, did you have a chance to check out the classic Toymaker from the classic Doctor Who or gain insight into how Neil Patrick Harris approached it? Or were you going purely from the script and your interpretation of Maestro?
Missy Was An Inspiration For Jinkx Monsoon's Approach To Maestro Doctor Who has introduced many iconic villains over the years, with truly terrifying alien threats like Daleks and Cybermen. However, one of the most notorious is the Master, a childhood friend of the Doctor who took a very dark path that diverged from the Doctor.
Can you talk to me a little bit about working with Ncuti and Millie and getting to toy with them on set because it's such a fun dynamic to see Maestro just completely toy and mess with the Doctor? Jinkx Monsoon: Climbing out of the piano was one of the first things I did, and then climbing back into the piano was one of the last things I did on set. It was a lot of fun to figure out. I love challenges. I love figuring out the science of performance. But it was nothing when you come from a background of creating your own work and putting on your own productions.
I love that this episode is telling us how essential music is to humanity and beyond that, how essential art and artistic expression is to humanity. I feel really excited to be part of an episode that says that after a global pandemic that shut down the arts and entertainment industry in so many ways and devastated lots of artists.
