If there's one thing Doctor Who can't live without as a series, it's the villains. The villains are the story and hero's antagonist and main source of conflict. And like all adventure stories , the hero always has a big scene where they and the baddie face off for a verbal fight. They monologue at each other. It's a tradition from theatrical playwriting that continues to this day, and it's also a pulp fiction and comic book convention.
There's the usual confrontation and war of wills between The Doctor and The Master that's always about finding a new layer to their relationship, or The Master revealing the Doctor is The Timeless Child from which all Time Lords took the ability to regenerate, which granted them the immortality needed to create time travel technology.
