...How can anybody be critical of Sylvester McCoy's portrayal of Doctor Who ([[Who Is He This Time?|STARLOG #134]]). particularly since he has only been on one season? Like anyone else who has played the Doctor since Patrick Troughton took over for William Hartnell in 1966, Sylvester needs to stretch his wings. John Nathan-Turner cannot be entirely at fault either—if he were, he wouldn't have lasted as the show's producer as long as he has (eight years—longer than any other producer). | ...How can anybody be critical of Sylvester McCoy's portrayal of Doctor Who ([[Who Is He This Time?|STARLOG #134]]). particularly since he has only been on one season?

First place. I need not mention who has that). Not bad for a beginner. Also, he seems to improve with each episode (for Favorite Episode—"[[broadwcast:Time and the Rani|Time and the Rani]]," 95 votes; "[[broadwcast:Paradise Towers|Paradise Towers]]", 100; "[[broadwcast:Delta and the Bannermen|Delta and the Bannermen]]", 144; and "[[broadwcast:Dragonfire|Dragonfire]]", 258). Give him a chance please. If nothing else, this man will be remembered as the Doctor who led TV's longest running SF series into its silver jubilee year, which will send a departing JN-T out in a blaze of glory. |
