7th Doc: A Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars

If ever there was a Doctor whom opitimises the words "A Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars" it has to be the 7th (Sylvester McCoy). I'm hoping this Music Video will show you why.

The track I used is "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult. No infringement at all is intended with the using of this track. It just seemed a wholly appropriate choice for the 7th Doctor :-)

***SPOILER!!***

Sorry about the depressing ending, but then again, it's pretty depressing what happened to the wonderful, complex, multi-layered, fun, kind, regretful, intelligent, manipulator that was the 7th Doctor.

I hope you enjoy.

No infringement whatseover is intended with this Music Video. The Doctor belongs to the BBC, though, if he were real, I'm sure he'd contest their ownership :D I just wanted to show why I have such a great fondess for the 7th Doctor. That was all really.

i loved the 7th doctor more than all the others becuase he was really mysterious and had a sense of eccentric electrical madness about him more so than even the 4th doctor and thats saying a lot. Plus he had a sense of humour that was infectious, sylveste mccoy really brought a blend of human and very alien aspects to the doctor who role. the problem with the new series is that the doctor is much too human (except for the eleventh doctor matt smith) the 9th and tenth doctors were way too human.

@doctorw2 - I couldn't agree with you more. I despaired at RTD for the road he took the 9th and 10th Doctors, especially the 10th. I mean, he emo'd the 10th Doc, not thinking that his depression was self-inflicted and therefore just unattractive rather than symapthetic, and then he intro'd a Parallel Universe Doc just to please the Rose/10thDoc fans which was downright blasphemy when it comes to the Doctor.

Thank God for Stephen Moffatt and Matt Smith's portrayal. I love Dr Who again

:-)

@IDIOTdella The thing is though, the only work he has at the moment really is SJA and Tourchwood still, other projects he wanted to do last year were turned down by people who approuched him for stuff which is quiet funny!

[IDIOTdella]

@JoeConcerts - I have to give credit to RTD for the creation of Torchwood. I thought the first season was outstanding and really interesting, but like his 'known' projects RTD ruined it. I only watched a couple of the second season because it became clear to me very early on that the focus had changed from the Torchwood Institute to Captain Jack - and when I took a looksee later on, he then managed to not only ruin the program but the Jack character as well. Grrrrrr!

I liked the way he just walked away at 1:01. Legend.

[IDIOTdella]

@TheDunHorse Indeed... Especially since Sylvester McCoy has said that ther ewas so much heat from the explosion he thought there'd been nothing left of the the back of his clothes...

...But then again Sylvester McCoy, for me, was pretty much a Legend as the 7th Doctor anyhoo, as was Sophie Aldred as Ace :-)

Very nice video! I love #7 also. Your comment about the 10th being a wet blanket is funny. He's not bad in my book, but the 10th is not the 7th! The whole new series is way to "clever" for its own good. It is often akin to a soap opera. RTD just couldn't help himself. I would love to see Ace meet Rose. "Oi Professor, who's the princess giving you the googly eyes? Want me to give her a Nitro9 boot out of the TARDIS?"

An excellent choice of song for one of the most psychologically complex Docs. Thanks!

@doctorw2 What you said :D

[RoyalGuard503]

@death2utubenow But, McCoy DID reprise the role. He's been playing the Seventh for years now in the audio dramas of Doctor Who done by Big Finish. And they're fantastic. Quality stuff, right there.

Plus, the BBC says they don't discredit them from canon, so you very much can consider them canonical.

1 person has never fought in a psychic war.

This was Doctor Who to me, my first memory (Not just of Doctor Who, but of life in general) was of a McCoy backing up to a locked door as a strange, terrifying alien creature hovered up the stairs towards him screaming death and destruction. Even as a kid, I knew that despite the thing had a gun, and could destroy planets in seconds, that this strange little man with the umbrella would stop them and save Earth without even breaking a sweat.

[death2utubenow]

I am not a fan of the seventh Doctor but the BBC starved the show by reducing the budget and didnt give the program any real support. I hope that someday he will be able to reprise the role in a future special or something.

Good Vid by the way, cheers.

[JoeConcerts]

@doctorw2 I don't think thats true. Smith denied it, and its unlike him don't you think to betray fans like that if he denied and then left. He'll probaly be around at least until the 50th anniversary, which is excellent.

[doctorw2]

@JoeConcerts i am a matt smithaholic i love him so much he is so cool! but, i hope the rumours about him leaving after series six isnt true becuase......oh god im starting to bubble :(
