I'm start­ing to won­der if the 'death' of the Mas­ter at the end of Series 3 was planned. And by that I mean planned by the Mas­ter him­self. We know his wife is return­ing, and we know he was on Earth 18 months before the events of the series Drums, and we know the Doc­tor didn't met him before that. So what if the Mas­ter planned that if things went wrong (because they always do) he had an escape plan. He was killed. And fail­ing any­one else to do it, his wife would step in and take the shot. Per­haps he wasn't really dead but drugged or something.

It might be that his res­ur­rec­tion is a result of being brought back by the TimeLords dur­ing the Time War. There is so much we don't know about the TimeLord abil­ity to regen­er­ate that it is pos­si­ble that he is able to delay the regen­er­a­tion and when it does occur he is bet­ter able to con­trol it and keeps the same face but with some phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics dif­fer­ent. (blond hair).

Remem­ber, we never see who is actu­ally wrapped in the white cloth on the funeral pyre. We just assume it is the Master.

A stretch I know but it's the only thing that makes sense to me and accounts for all the odd variables.

I could also be way the frick off base and it's some­thing totally off the wall. ¬†Remem­ber, in Doc­tor Who, they have to be able to explain it, but it doesn't have to actu­ally make sense ;)
