He knows it's not Sarah Jane. He just made a mistake man.

He is human remember.

I love his Doctor.

I love the way, even now, he still keeps dressing like Doctor Who. He has an umbrella even!

I can't believe I never bumped into him when he was in Newcastle. I should have hunted him down.

That studios is inside the Sage music centre.

I thought Susan was the Doctor's granddaughter...?

3:10 Here's why he confused Susan and Sarah Jane: He's still undergoing Regeneration Trauma. Initially , the producers of the show wanted to interview Colin Baker (If you look at that patchwork coat Sly is wearing, you'll notice that only Six would wear such a thing). Colin even got there, but when he climbed the stairs up to the studio, he stumbled and fell on his head. When help arrived, they were surprised to find a perfectly healthy, if a bit confused Sly McCoy and so they went with him :-B

Nice Coat.

I think who ever did the subtitles for that day should be shot! "used to be the Doctor"? erm... so not! "7th Doctor" and always will be. Statement of fact.

Sarah Jane *facepalm* still love McCoy though, very unique Doctor for better or worse.

Did they just ask Sylvester McCoy about when he "decided to leave"? Nice research, GMTV. Nice research.

Doctor actors who decided to leave - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10

Doctor actors who were fired - 6

Doctor actors who lost their job when the show ended/only in the movie - 7, 8

Current Doctor actor - 11

I think what Britain has learned for the last time when Matt Smith finished his first series , is that we need to respect whoever is coming next - Tennant famously said before his departure that ANYONE can play the doctor, its a flexible role that can be reshaped, smashed to bits and reformed all over again - personally I think we need a much much older actor to take over from Matt Smith when he decides to leave (approx 6 years time I belive) Id have Russ Abbot play him - such an eccentric guy!
