I also forgot to say, I agree with everything Colin said. I do hope that all the surviving Doctors can be involved in the 50th - although I would not like to think of the script. Perhaps, Steven is building it all up. The Dr seems to be getting in deeper and deeper into trouble and perhaps the Timelords (they can't really be gone) and his other selves can restore equilibrium - particularly the Silence which, from all accounts, will be very challenging.

@999marinus I'd love to see an episode with them all in it like 'The 5 Doctors'. But it occurred to me that many many years have now passed and the original Doctors are much older. Perhaps some costume wizardry and some digitals effects might just make it work?

Excellent! Wish it went on longer, very funny!!

[RadioWammo]

@garryonz So do I!

he always gets the harshest criticism, mainly for things that were not his fault in the slightest. If they'd let him do what he wanted with the character and let him have some creative input in things like his appearance, I'm pretty sure he'd have been remembered quite differently.

@SecretTimeWarp Well, in fairness, City of Death got those figures largely because ITV was dealing with a strike. So Doctor Who was getting quite a bit of a bump in viewership just because of circumstances. City of Death is very good, though.

[SecretTimeWarp]

Viewing figures can be a bitch with this show - City Of Death got 16 million viewers.... then the next season was a ratings failure. There was no consistency at all. Even Patrick's third season got down to 4 million - McCoy-era ratings.

@RadioWammo Go watch Time Crash, that gives an explanation for the apparent ages of Doctors.

The man is awesome. He didn't have to despite the crap Michael Grade teaching him like crap. Top guy. I'll be sad when he passes :O( Great man Colin

[corandaravis]

Anyone who thinks he wasn't the best doctor should listen to the Big Finish audios. The writing is finally up to his level. The show was not in those days.

My favorite doctor!

Good old colin. I saw him in 96 at a convention in weston super mare. He was brilliant. Had everyone laughing, told great stories and is a really friendly bloke to chat to. He got a bum deal.

[GusF]

I agree with him about the demented version of the Master.

@999marinus, I think sheading a few pounds at Tom and Colins age is no easy task. Funny thing is until re-watching the 6th docs ephisodes recently I actually remembered colin as being a pretty trim bloke, When I was a kid he never struck me at chubby when i watched him back then.
