@Jdizz24 you're on this video, going out your way to comment and see it, so makes you bit of a hypocrite to say they're shitty when you're watching it and on the comments. We dont want any nasty rude comments on here, if you dont like it, just leave.
Seeing Sylvester in costume shows me that he could practically walk straight back into the role right now. BBC... do something about this before you reach the point of regret
I agree 100% I have been saying this for years, we have lost so many of the actors and writers of classic who over the last few years, they need to get these classic Doctors and companions back before its too late. I would love to see Sylvester, Colin, Peter and Tom reprise their roles as their Doctors and have companions back like Ian, Susan, Leela, Romana, Ace, K9 (Voiced by John Leeson of course) and Steven as well and more wouldn't mind them all appearing in the show but allot of the actors mentioned are getting to the point in life where, unfortunately, we may not have them around much longer, one example is Nick Courtney, yeah he appeared in the Sarah Jane Adventures and that was great, but to have had him in new who would of been to quote the 9th Doctor "Fantastic". Sadly he is no longer with us and that is not to be.
@ fan service overkill? Oh so like the entirety of series 7, day of the Doctor, time of the Doctor, series 8, series 9 and series 10. Also in a more localised fashion all of the 2009 specials and journeys end. Oh fan service overkill never happens in the modern show oh no.
Sylv was criminally underrated as the Doctor, after a bit of a shaky start, he evolved the character brilliantly and gave it so many layers of mystery, depth and complexity. I'd love to see him back.
Nicely said. McCoy's era was a need breath of fresh air and you can feel it in the depth and effort can't you? If they'd gone into season 24 onwards with an attitude that Doctor Who was a MUST SEE show and shown it in how it was budgeted, promoted and scheduled? WOULD'VE turned the show's fortunes around big time. Simple logic: treat it like it's an embarrassment to you and show it against a TV show that 90% of viewers are watching? ONLY A MORON would believe the excuses the BBC have made since 1989. And this was proven in the years since 1989 when without any regular Doctor Who it's popularity first gave it 9 million in the UK with the 96 TV movie and then made it a HUGE hit with the 2005 series. And clearly the BBC don't learn because they've been doing the same since Tennant left. And the irony? It was ahead of everyone with a female producer of 24 in the early 60s and a director who was non white. And Newman who was a non Brit. Doctor Who the show is like the TARDIS and Doctor. A rebel against the norm :)
@@calumbishop7082 they havent really had an order to them, they're just releasing them when it works for them, possibly so they can hype up s25 later down the line. I mean they released season 23 before 22 and 22 is definitely better than 23.
@@custardtimelord5502 I mean season 23 made sense because its technically all one big story (as well as being half the length of season 22 which made it cheaper to re-release), though I will agree it is inconsistent in their choices (for example why release season 18 before season 16 which is also technically one big story, why release season 19 rather than either of season 20 or 21 both of which are better)
Seeing Mel's face light up realizing the Doctor has comeback shows why Doctor Who is incredible. Multiple Generations have come to represent this character and no matter their face, no matter who they met, you smile seeing all of them :)
I hated it when it first aired. Then when the DVD's started being released, naturally I collected them. I figured I might as well pick up some Sly McCoy ones one day. Now I realise that when it first aired, I was just a young teen with a stick up his arse just because it wasn't Star Wars. It's funny what you learn in retrospect. Anyhow, LOVE his era now.
I'm not much of a fan of this season, but season 25 and 26 are both great and contain some of my favorite dr who stories ever (remembrance of the daleks, the greatest show in the galaxy, the curse of fenric, survival)
I'll put my hand up and say I hated this season. Think the next two were excellent, and had the Beeb stuck with the show, it would have started becoming mainstream again, it had some really good writing and characterisation.
I had chills when Sylvester revealed himself as the Doctor. I thought it would be a sort of cameo where he wouldn’t be seen, but the moment he’s revealed to be wearing the costume is brillant 😁😁😁
I always thought Bonnie slightly raised her real voice for Mel, and i can't be the only one who noticed she was speaking normally until she said 'Doctor'. Then she went full on Mel again :D
It's a cute workaround the fact the actors couldn't touch each other. The natural response (for the characters) would have been for them to have hugged after so many years apart....
I've always wanted an eighth Doctor spin off show. Now that the older McCoy is basically canon (bad word, I know) I just want a new season with McCoy. Just do it. Please.
Older 7 was always canon. The man took a very, VERY, long time to get to Skaro to get the Master's ashes and everything else before that and after Survival
I met Sylvester McCoy back in 2017, he's such a lovely person. He is just like he appears in Dr Who, slightly zanny and warm, it was a pleasure to meet my Doctor :D
I’m so getting this! And I honestly think we need more stuff like these sketches. I don’t care how old the classic doctors are, I don’t care how cheap the costumes look, seeing Classic Who aspects in modern day filming is something I didn’t know I needed until now

Had the extreme pleasure of interviewing Sylv years ago for my newspaper and he was so much more engaging and funny one-to-one than I've ever seen him in these documentaries. Absolutely charming gentleman.
I love just how clever all the trailers are for the Blu-Ray box sets. It's a little bit of new Doctor Who with familiar faces! BBC is on their game with these - it's lovely to see Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford have another interaction as the Doctor and Mel!
We definitely need more episodes like "the day of the doctor" it was brilliant. Also i hope they get us a good and fresh doctor for season 13 of new who. And hopefully a man (no sexism but it just doesn't work)
@@redcrafterlppa303 The Doctor was established as a man for over fifty years. Is it to much to keep him a man if it's established or does that make me sexist? The answer you're looking for isn't 'Yes he's a sexist'.
@@pferreira1983 To true at first the idea of a female doctor intrigued me due to thinking of the hi jinks of the doctor getting used to not only a new body but a new gender but well we all see how that turned out i cant stand jody i have seen card board cut outs with more charisma than her not to mention her innocent death count is one of the highest in new who that i have seen at least dont know if im right or not.
I'm always astonished how these trailers keep getting better and better! It's so lovely to see Sylvester back in costume as the Doctor and I'm always thrilled to see another of his series being released as part of this blu-ray range! Can't wait for this!!!!
To the BBC and Doctor Who - Give Peter, Colin, Paul McGann and the real McCoy one more appearance their Doctors in the 60th Anniversary. Even if you have to come up with some creativity into the scenes of "Temporary Aging Distortion" or some other interesting way. We need the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th (if he will), 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Doctors together (add the 14th if the rumours are true). Forget the endgame, the time lord victorious needs to happen on the big screen!
Tom Baker was my Doctor but when Sylvester came onto the scene he also became my Doctor. I like the announcements for the collections they are becoming adventures on their own.
Ok, yeah, Sylvester can absolutely come back. Given how old he was when he came back for the eighth he'd be able to fit right in. He looks amazing in his getup.
I love these. They have some much character and are fun. And I love the new extras. Its great to see that everyone got along and were a team off camera too.
When Stephen Moffatt didn't wanna bring back the Classic Doctors for the 50th because they'd "look too old", 8 years on and McCoy looks incredible here so... what was the excuse??
@@hothemeep1219 but they could of easily made something up to explain why they looked older. they did it with the tenth doctor when he bumped into the 5th doctor
@@hothemeep1219 Obviously he looks older, it's been 31 years. But too old? Nah, I look at that and I see 7, I believe that's the Doctor, I don't just see Sylv in his outfit. Like at the end of Shada, where they show the new live action footage, admittedly I don't see 4, I see Tom in a costume. If Sylv were to come back into the show like this, I'd believe it, 100%
Sylvester McCoy! The most underrated Doctor, and I think, one of the best. He had such a mischievous way about him as the Doctor. Bonnie Langford doesn't look too shabby either for her age.
See i think his doctor was the one that had so much potential and got cut off too soon. His last series you could see some parallels to new who like a prototype in a way
she has aged quite gracefully hasnt she, I enjoyed 7th the darkest of the classic doctors, perhaps the darkest of them all (except 12trh in a fury) oh the fun!!!
McCoy always looked like he was just having fun. Loved the misquoted quotes in the first season (wish they kept those going) and loved his mischevious smile. His costume change scene in his first episode was priceless.
What a wonderful surprise this is and my pre-order is made! I look forward to adding this set to my collection and rediscovering Season 24 on blu-ray! Watching this trailer brought a big smile and a slight tear to my eye. As a little boy brought up on DW with only patchy memories of watching the last year of Davison's era, the entirety of C. Baker's era and only having my audio cassettes of Tom Baker's naration of "Genesis of the Daleks" and his reading of "State of Decay" to access regularly...at age 6 in 1987, Season 24's opening story "Time and the Rani" is where the adventure really solidified and began for me with Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford and later Sophie Aldred and whom I thank because here I am today 34-years and seven incarnations of the Doctor later still watching Doctor Who as big a fan as ever!
I got to meet Sylvester a few years ago (along with Paul, which considering they were the first Doctors I met was a bit of a starstruck moment), he's so charming and funny in real life
No lie, I legit had happy feelings seeing their reunion, and the awesome effort into this advertisement. He was my second Doctor exposed to, so I'll be getting my hands on this. Plus, saw him a few times at conventions, happy funny man.
35 years later, Sylvester still bears a passable resemblance to his Doctor. I'd love to see him make a return for the 60th anniversary special in 2023!
I am ridiculously excited for this boxset. All those wonderful special features!! Studio footage!! 5.1 surround sound!! Extended episodes!!! Salivating!!
I was rewatching some 7th Doctor era videos and thinking about the possible release of the rest of the Sylvester era episodes... And now this. Wibbly wobbly...
The thing I want most in season 13 of nu who is for McCoy to make an appearance in a multi doctor episode. Even if its a small part. I just love Sylvester McCoy's doctor and I cant wait to buy the box set
Season 24 is fascinating to me in a lot of fronts; in many ways, it’s an oddity in terms of what came before (the voyeuristic, brash and bold storytelling of the Colin Baker era) and what came after (the final two seasons being part of the Cartmel Masterplan and having a more brooding, darker Doctor). It’s just so happy with itself, the absolutely bonkers elements sticking out in the roster. I love that it didn’t take itself too seriously, incorporating a lot of pantomime elements and making a flawed, but genuinely sunny and enjoyable season. It’s also interesting to watch in that Sylvester McCoy’s most natural performances have arguably been in Season 24. He was a stage actor steeped in panto, and fit the buffoonish, cosmic showman version of early-years Seven seamlessly. Watching Seasons 25 and 26, I’ve always been under the impression that Sylv has been most comfortable with this side of his Doctor. Not to say that he doesn’t work as the mastermind manipulator / Champion of Time that the Cartmel Masterplan made him (I actually think his *best* performances, not his most *natural* , come from the bulk of S25 and Ghost Light of S26), but he’s always been a real natural as an entertainer, and the spoon-playing Seventh Doctor of S24 is always a joy to revisit.
Maybe I'm just weird but to me there's something charming about how much the actor who played the Sixth Doctor seems to have enjoyed his time in the role. He seems like he's always up for talking about it.
Colin Baker is widely regarded as being an absolutely lovely chap, and is also a big fan of the show. I'm pleased the Big Finish stuff let people give him a proper chance to show what he could do and reassess him.
If ever there was proof that Sylvester McCoy could still pull off playing his Doctor, it's right here. Moffat was so wrong when he said in 2013 that the classic series Doctors can't convincingly play their Doctors as though they were the same age. Get Sylvester McCoy back for the 60th!
Then there's him pulling a just because retcon of the Time War out of his arse and used poor John Hurt like jangling keys as if fandom were newborns. HYPOCRISY
MY MEMORY It's 1987. My Dad is baby sitting me. I've got to record a show on TV called Doctor Who. The story is the first of a new series. A stranger on the floor of the TARDIS is turned over revealing his face engulfed in light and energy. Then one person changes to another stranger?!?! Cue what would become the TRUE start of my time as a Doctor Who fan. And all these years later? Never stopped. Once you become a fan of Doctor Who it never leaves you. I'd seen Peter Davison and Colin Baker but Sylvester McCoy WAS my Doctor. All these stories mean something extra special when it's where "it all started'. McCoy's era is now seen, RIGHTLY, as the point where Doctor Who was growing up and evolving. For far too long it had maybe played it too safe? ACE is the original Rose. The 7th Doctor is a Doctor, who along with Ace, has more substance. He has the mystery more and more that had been lost for most of the 80s but also going into areas the show hadn't with the Doctor as a character and the show full stop. I always say this: The new series owes SO much to the 7th Doctor's era and what came after. McCoy's era was a case of full circle returning to the true essence of the show but evolving it as well? So, this release for fans who started with Doctor Who with McCoy IS something truly special. We can be sad about what could've been but let's be glad of what WAS and we still have to enjoy. You're all wonderful Doctor Who fans. Here's to the future :)
This so awesome!! It's like somebody blessed me with a gift I didn't even know I deserved!!! I miss Mel, Ace and "The Professor" so much. Not a week goes by where I'm not dropping into the Who-niverse just to visit old Classic friends. They helped me get through tough times back then and continue to help me today. Cheers to all from South Dakota!!!
Seeing Sylvester wear that costume... actually, just seeing him in general puts a big smile on his face.
SAME!
It's why he's my favourite Doctor
He the most underrated doctor
I'd love to see him back on screen as the Doctor. He'd rock it.
I got the same feels that I did from a certain other show recently.
The Doctor finally got the postcard Mel put into a bottle and threw into space.
Better than the other way they met up again (i.e. the New Adventures novel Mind Games)
This reference made me very happy.
Okay, this is everything
How is McCoy's acting always spot on ? Even when doing something small like this.
Wouldn’t it be great if McCoy is in the 60th anniversary with Jodie Whittaker and other Doctors? 💙💙

She was in EastEnders before she was in EastEnders, if you count the 1993 special. 😉
@@thekelvingreen Though of course, Time Travel being time travel, it may actually have been after.
@@TheTurnipKing timey wimey.
Sylv looks incredible in his outfit! Please have him meet 13 in the next special!
Moffat: the old Doctors don't look like they used to or arent as fit as they were, so I'll only bring back the modern doctors.
Pete McTighe: watch this.....
Considering that Moffat himself implied that some Future generations just went to be Older Looking Past Regenerations [i.e The Curator] mans could very well get anyone; buy Didn't
big mad

All Syl needs is some hair dye and he's good to go! Look at Troughton, and they brought him back for the Two Doctors - he wasn't much different.
@@stevencommander8441 I wouldn't want him to dye his hair, I love it the way it is haha.
Did Moffat actually say that?
Had the extreme pleasure of interviewing Sylv years ago for my newspaper and he was so much more engaging and funny one-to-one than I've ever seen him in these documentaries. Absolutely charming gentleman.
The Scorpio and a pursuit ship from Blake’s 7 seen at the start around the space station. Neat!
I love just how clever all the trailers are for the Blu-Ray box sets. It's a little bit of new Doctor Who with familiar faces! BBC is on their game with these - it's lovely to see Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford have another interaction as the Doctor and Mel!
3:29 That laugh cured my depression
This clip has more emotion in it than anything Whittaker has ever done.
I love that Sylvester is still more than happy to do stuff like this all these years later!
Love this! I love that they reprised their characters for the promotion instead of just being Bonnie and Sylvester talking about it.
Bonnie Langfield is just iconic at facial and body expressions
Sylvester needs to come back to Doctor Who for another multi Doctor story. He’s exactly the same now as he was then! 🙌🏻
Not quite but it can be explained away easily.
@Ian Turner Just use the same excuse for Peter Davison in Time Crash.
We definitely need more episodes like "the day of the doctor" it was brilliant. Also i hope they get us a good and fresh doctor for season 13 of new who. And hopefully a man (no sexism but it just doesn't work)
@@redcrafterlppa303 The Doctor was established as a man for over fifty years. Is it to much to keep him a man if it's established or does that make me sexist? The answer you're looking for isn't 'Yes he's a sexist'.
@@pferreira1983 To true at first the idea of a female doctor intrigued me due to thinking of the hi jinks of the doctor getting used to not only a new body but a new gender but well we all see how that turned out i cant stand jody i have seen card board cut outs with more charisma than her not to mention her innocent death count is one of the highest in new who that i have seen at least dont know if im right or not.
Aww! That was so sweet! Beautifully done, team!
I'm always astonished how these trailers keep getting better and better! It's so lovely to see Sylvester back in costume as the Doctor and I'm always thrilled to see another of his series being released as part of this blu-ray range! Can't wait for this!!!!
To the BBC and Doctor Who - Give Peter, Colin, Paul McGann and the real McCoy one more appearance their Doctors in the 60th Anniversary. Even if you have to come up with some creativity into the scenes of "Temporary Aging Distortion" or some other interesting way.
We need the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th (if he will), 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Doctors together (add the 14th if the rumours are true). Forget the endgame, the time lord victorious needs to happen on the big screen!
and 4th (or the curator again) and then we will have ALL the living doctors in one place
well, we got The Real McCoy in Power of the Doctor, so that was quite good!
He still has the enthusiasm after all this time which is so amazing about this.
Tom Baker was my Doctor but when Sylvester came onto the scene he also became my Doctor. I like the announcements for the collections they are becoming adventures on their own.
they should do an episode where the doctor gets a bottle in the middle of space with a postcard and a letter from mel like she said when she left
Ok, yeah, Sylvester can absolutely come back. Given how old he was when he came back for the eighth he'd be able to fit right in. He looks amazing in his getup.
Well I wasn't expecting this season!
Me too ! The best by far !
@@hothemeep1219 preach 👏👍
I love these. They have some much character and are fun. And I love the new extras. Its great to see that everyone got along and were a team off camera too.
Even if it was a bit of a slippery start, Sylvester McCoy is still BY FAR my favorite classic Doctor. May he love on for decades to come!
Loving all the Announcement trailers so far...great to see the past characters come back!...need to incorporate some of them in stories I reckon
Seeing Sylvester wearing the Doctors costume put a tear in my eye.
My earliest memory out of any memory I have is of the Seventh Doctor & Ace.
When Stephen Moffatt didn't wanna bring back the Classic Doctors for the 50th because they'd "look too old", 8 years on and McCoy looks incredible here so... what was the excuse??
Lazy Mofatt got 4 doctors. And Only one was a classic actor
He looks incredible indeed but he looks way too older too.
@@hothemeep1219 but they could of easily made something up to explain why they looked older. they did it with the tenth doctor when he bumped into the 5th doctor
It was really the 8th anniversary New Who special.
@@hothemeep1219 Obviously he looks older, it's been 31 years. But too old? Nah, I look at that and I see 7, I believe that's the Doctor, I don't just see Sylv in his outfit. Like at the end of Shada, where they show the new live action footage, admittedly I don't see 4, I see Tom in a costume. If Sylv were to come back into the show like this, I'd believe it, 100%
Stellar! This has to be cannon. Thank you BBC, definitely the most underrated season. Keep these excellent trailers and boxsets coming.
Omg can we please get 7th Doc back in a special it's so cool how he still fits right back into the character
CARROT JUICE?!??!!??
(I still bloody LOVE Bonnie as Mel. This is fantastic!!)
As much as I've derided season 24 as a fan for years, this promo put a huge smile on my face. That Tetrap appears to be smiling too.
Sylvester McCoy! The most underrated Doctor, and I think, one of the best. He had such a mischievous way about him as the Doctor. Bonnie Langford doesn't look too shabby either for her age.
She's gorgeous
See i think his doctor was the one that had so much potential and got cut off too soon. His last series you could see some parallels to new who like a prototype in a way
@@Venemofthe888 He was my Doctor
she has aged quite gracefully hasnt she, I enjoyed 7th the darkest of the classic doctors, perhaps the darkest of them all (except 12trh in a fury) oh the fun!!!
McCoy always looked like he was just having fun. Loved the misquoted quotes in the first season (wish they kept those going) and loved his mischevious smile. His costume change scene in his first episode was priceless.
What a wonderful surprise this is and my pre-order is made! I look forward to adding this set to my collection and rediscovering Season 24 on blu-ray! Watching this trailer brought a big smile and a slight tear to my eye. As a little boy brought up on DW with only patchy memories of watching the last year of Davison's era, the entirety of C. Baker's era and only having my audio cassettes of Tom Baker's naration of "Genesis of the Daleks" and his reading of "State of Decay" to access regularly...at age 6 in 1987, Season 24's opening story "Time and the Rani" is where the adventure really solidified and began for me with Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford and later Sophie Aldred and whom I thank because here I am today 34-years and seven incarnations of the Doctor later still watching Doctor Who as big a fan as ever!
_"Most of them aren't homicidal anymore."_ She said with an absolutely straight face.
This was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ brilliant, by the way...
I got to meet Sylvester a few years ago (along with Paul, which considering they were the first Doctors I met was a bit of a starstruck moment), he's so charming and funny in real life
Aww Mel’s reaction to the Doctor 😻
Legitimately, although this is ‘just’ a trailer, that was equally as iconic as when Sarah Jane saw the Tenth Doctor!
@@stevetayler9518 I love these trailers there is always something charming about them
No lie, I legit had happy feelings seeing their reunion, and the awesome effort into this advertisement. He was my second Doctor exposed to, so I'll be getting my hands on this. Plus, saw him a few times at conventions, happy funny man.
35 years later, Sylvester still bears a passable resemblance to his Doctor. I'd love to see him make a return for the 60th anniversary special in 2023!
Whose Says the Classic Doctors are too old to come back
Answer: NO ONE
Dream come true here :D
That was absolutely brilliant - really nostalgic. 👏
Cute. Nice to see Mel had such success in her later career!
YES, MEL OUR QUEEN!!!
So awesome to see all this coming back and getting to see all my favorite episodes. A definite MUST BUY. Cannot wait!!!
season 24 may not always have the best stories, but it's never dull
I am ridiculously excited for this boxset. All those wonderful special features!! Studio footage!! 5.1 surround sound!! Extended episodes!!! Salivating!!
I was rewatching some 7th Doctor era videos and thinking about the possible release of the rest of the Sylvester era episodes... And now this. Wibbly wobbly...
Oh my, this made me tear up 😢. So excited for this set to come out!! 7/Mel is such an underrated duo!! ❤️
The thing I want most in season 13 of nu who is for McCoy to make an appearance in a multi doctor episode. Even if its a small part. I just love Sylvester McCoy's doctor and I cant wait to buy the box set
This is incredible! I love it!
Season 24 is fascinating to me in a lot of fronts; in many ways, it’s an oddity in terms of what came before (the voyeuristic, brash and bold storytelling of the Colin Baker era) and what came after (the final two seasons being part of the Cartmel Masterplan and having a more brooding, darker Doctor). It’s just so happy with itself, the absolutely bonkers elements sticking out in the roster. I love that it didn’t take itself too seriously, incorporating a lot of pantomime elements and making a flawed, but genuinely sunny and enjoyable season.
It’s also interesting to watch in that Sylvester McCoy’s most natural performances have arguably been in Season 24. He was a stage actor steeped in panto, and fit the buffoonish, cosmic showman version of early-years Seven seamlessly. Watching Seasons 25 and 26, I’ve always been under the impression that Sylv has been most comfortable with this side of his Doctor. Not to say that he doesn’t work as the mastermind manipulator / Champion of Time that the Cartmel Masterplan made him (I actually think his *best* performances, not his most *natural* , come from the bulk of S25 and Ghost Light of S26), but he’s always been a real natural as an entertainer, and the spoon-playing Seventh Doctor of S24 is always a joy to revisit.
The promotional videos are great!! They get me so excited about doctor who and remind me why I love being in this fandom 💕
Its almost impossible to hate Sylvester McCoy
The best Doctor, no doubt
I love how all these trailers catch up with the characters all these years later.
Maybe I'm just weird but to me there's something charming about how much the actor who played the Sixth Doctor seems to have enjoyed his time in the role. He seems like he's always up for talking about it.
Because Colin is a right darling
Colin Baker is widely regarded as being an absolutely lovely chap, and is also a big fan of the show. I'm pleased the Big Finish stuff let people give him a proper chance to show what he could do and reassess him.
If ever there was proof that Sylvester McCoy could still pull off playing his Doctor, it's right here. Moffat was so wrong when he said in 2013 that the classic series Doctors can't convincingly play their Doctors as though they were the same age. Get Sylvester McCoy back for the 60th!
Then there's him pulling a just because retcon of the Time War out of his arse and used poor John Hurt like jangling keys as if fandom were newborns.
HYPOCRISY
@@SuperWolsey I thought the War Doctor was brilliant personally. Loved that character.
@@CineScarborough Well I don't
Everyone is talking about Sylvester but what about how fun and well written this comedy is!!!
It’s a fantastic trailer.
In fact it’s canon to me 😁
MY MEMORY It's 1987. My Dad is baby sitting me. I've got to record a show on TV called Doctor Who.
The story is the first of a new series. A stranger on the floor of the TARDIS is turned over revealing his face engulfed in light and energy. Then one person changes to another stranger?!?!
Cue what would become the TRUE start of my time as a Doctor Who fan.
And all these years later? Never stopped. Once you become a fan of Doctor Who it never leaves you.
I'd seen Peter Davison and Colin Baker but Sylvester McCoy WAS my Doctor.
All these stories mean something extra special when it's where "it all started'.
McCoy's era is now seen, RIGHTLY, as the point where Doctor Who was growing up and evolving.
For far too long it had maybe played it too safe?
ACE is the original Rose. The 7th Doctor is a Doctor, who along with Ace, has more substance.
He has the mystery more and more that had been lost for most of the 80s but also going into areas the show hadn't with the Doctor as a character and the show full stop.
I always say this: The new series owes SO much to the 7th Doctor's era and what came after.
McCoy's era was a case of full circle returning to the true essence of the show but evolving it as well?
So, this release for fans who started with Doctor Who with McCoy IS something truly special.
We can be sad about what could've been but let's be glad of what WAS and we still have to enjoy.
You're all wonderful Doctor Who fans. Here's to the future :)
I love watching Bonnie Langford act. She plays it so realistic.
I am so happy that the cast involved can look back at these seasons/episodes and have some fun with them.
This so awesome!! It's like somebody blessed me with a gift I didn't even know I deserved!!! I miss Mel, Ace and "The Professor" so much.
Not a week goes by where I'm not dropping into the Who-niverse just to visit old Classic friends. They helped me get through tough times back then and continue to help me today.
Cheers to all from South Dakota!!!
