Thumbs up if you would like to see all of the living actors who have played the Doctor (that includes Paul McGann) on the 50th anniversary special!!! :)

A Time War miniseries with McGann would not be bad at all!

He was amazing in the Doctor Who movie

I would really like to see what happened to make the 9th Doctor so... dark. Eccelston may have been my least favorite Doctor, but I would certainly want to see what happened to him in his previous incarnation that shifted his psyche so much.

LOL! "It's all about the hair." He's right, really. I don't think the fans were ready for the military look when the film was made, but a lot of people didn't like the movie anyway, so what would have been the harm? Well, to be fair, I guess that's clear when you're looking backward. But he still looks great, doesn't he? I had figured if they had him back on for one of those overlap episodes or the like he'd look bad by now, but he doesn't at all! I hope they come up with something.

Timewar series FTW! I would love a season or two that comes back to this guy and shows the events leading to #9. I liked him in the movie, I liked his Tardis (alot more than the new ones) and I like the story he is involved in. (the timewar) Bringing him back has epic badass written all over it. I really hope they address it somehow. The series deserves to be bridged, the loyal fans deserve to see it, and McGann deserves more air time as the doctor. It would definitely sell.

@TulseLuper

Agreed. He's tied for my favorite.

@Nemesis7293 Ordinary? Eccleston gave Doctor Who the shot in the arm it desperately needed. He's an underrated Doctor. Frankly, I love all of them. Each Doctor brings a different spin on the part, and each is fantastic.

[Nemesis7293]

Paul McGann is SO freakin' HOT!!! If only he had been kept as the Doctor instead of Christopher Eccleston, who was OK, but resoundingly ordinary.

[BoaCandelabrum]

Many of the details of a Time War mini-series are already in place. Such a series would offer a real treat for fans who would like to see the old and new DW's bridged finally. Of particular interest would be the story of the descent of the Time Lords from autocracy to despotism. Paul McGann seems ready to be cast as something other than a dandy - he could convincingly carry off a transition to cold-blooded warrior defending the multiverse from the depredations af the Dalek-Time Lord nihilism.

@almatric Apart from him. Eccleston seems to have turned his back on the show for good.

@JamHam64 I wish Eccleston would be vague... it would give me more hope than the interviews I've heard where he flat out says no way, no how.
