Just to clarify; while the promo appeared during the pledge drive, they pair weren't live in studio for it. They shot it a couple of weeks earlier when they were in town for a Buffalo Doctor Who convention.

@bluejeckett I heard that it was true. Nothing particularly wrong with that in itself, as Matthew was 18 when he first appeared in Dr Who.

@pufferfishish ;lmao are u serious or just taking the piss? Yeah I can believe that he wouldve if he was gay, cos soon as JNT became EP the first new companion introduced under his reign was Adric, who to my recollection is the only young boy character companion the show had.
-
@bluejeckett Legend has it that he accompanied young Matthew Waterhouse who played Adric, around all Soho's gay bars. JNT had definitely taken a fancy to him
-
@pufferfishish I take it he was actualy gay? Certainly seems it but u never know these days
-
@MetalheadJay78 You should tell the truth but say it in a friendly way! (eg) She was not the best character in doctor who and I think the creaters made a mistake in making this character.

RTD was the douchbag that ruined Dr Who. The BBC sold out.

@Anttygravity, Rude? I'm being bloody honest and many would agree with me.

@MetalheadJay78 Dont be so bloody rude

It's the douche that ruined "Doctor Who"!
LOL, i can imagine 'Janet' really being JNT's name when he went out in Soho on a Saturday night!

WONDERFUL blast from the glorious past!
My Doctor Who fix came from PBS out of New Jersey Network Montclair in the mid-80s, and they aired many promos and many full documentarie, but this particular pitch was something new to me.
Golden Age of Doctor Who! Thanks much!
