Is is possible that the Professor maybe working on a way to bring back the Time Lords and Earth (at some point in time) is some how involved in his plan, otherwise why save Earth? - Of course this hypothesis only works if the Professor IS a Time Lord

[SharazJek]

[Sulp Niar]

So hold on, assuming that the Master will definitely be in it, does that mean that there'll be THREE Time Lords in the series? Or is the Master the Professor?

I don't know what's going on really; I should just point that out before I say this. Is the Professor meant to be the guy from the Lazarus episode (not related to the audios I believe) where Mark Gatiss is in it? If so... Mark Gatiss as a Time Lord? The LOG fans will go into a fan frenzy!

[SharazJek]

The Professor (Derek Jacobi) is in actual fact the Master, but he pretends to be a good guy, then regenerates into the latest version.

[Panecea]

Then why save Earth? Unless it is a trap intended for the Doctor.

When you consider the number of times the Master has died and come back, I don't believe he would be overly worried about his saftey.
