* ExecutiveMeddling: [[http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-who/23153/updated-doctor-who-john-simm-on-the-master Apparently]] Creator/RussellTDavies pushed him to play the Master as a [[LaughingMad "giggling lunatic"]] and Simm later admitted he felt he couldn't give the required depth to the character. The Master's return in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]] shows much more depth while remaining himself, and his second return in "World Enough and Time"/"The Doctor Falls" showed him in an even calmer and more calculating state.

* CreatorBacklash: Subverted. While he isn't a very outgoing person and prefers a private lifestyle, he does try to be polite to his fans as much as possible.
** A news article in the Radio Times claimed that he hated ''Doctor Who'' fans and wished they would just leave them alone. Mr. Simm later stated that [[http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/john-simm-denies-complaining-about-bothersome-doctor/308497 what was said was taken out of context and that he didn't hate the fans.]]
