@Jdizz24 you're on this video, going out your way to comment and see it, so makes you bit of a hypocrite to say they're shitty when you're watching it and on the comments. We dont want any nasty rude comments on here, if you dont like it, just leave.
Seeing Sylvester in costume shows me that he could practically walk straight back into the role right now. BBC... do something about this before you reach the point of regret
I agree 100% I have been saying this for years, we have lost so many of the actors and writers of classic who over the last few years, they need to get these classic Doctors and companions back before its too late. I would love to see Sylvester, Colin, Peter and Tom reprise their roles as their Doctors and have companions back like Ian, Susan, Leela, Romana, Ace, K9 (Voiced by John Leeson of course) and Steven as well and more wouldn't mind them all appearing in the show but allot of the actors mentioned are getting to the point in life where, unfortunately, we may not have them around much longer, one example is Nick Courtney, yeah he appeared in the Sarah Jane Adventures and that was great, but to have had him in new who would of been to quote the 9th Doctor "Fantastic". Sadly he is no longer with us and that is not to be.
@ fan service overkill? Oh so like the entirety of series 7, day of the Doctor, time of the Doctor, series 8, series 9 and series 10. Also in a more localised fashion all of the 2009 specials and journeys end. Oh fan service overkill never happens in the modern show oh no.
Sylv was criminally underrated as the Doctor, after a bit of a shaky start, he evolved the character brilliantly and gave it so many layers of mystery, depth and complexity. I'd love to see him back.
Nicely said. McCoy's era was a need breath of fresh air and you can feel it in the depth and effort can't you? If they'd gone into season 24 onwards with an attitude that Doctor Who was a MUST SEE show and shown it in how it was budgeted, promoted and scheduled? WOULD'VE turned the show's fortunes around big time. Simple logic: treat it like it's an embarrassment to you and show it against a TV show that 90% of viewers are watching? ONLY A MORON would believe the excuses the BBC have made since 1989. And this was proven in the years since 1989 when without any regular Doctor Who it's popularity first gave it 9 million in the UK with the 96 TV movie and then made it a HUGE hit with the 2005 series. And clearly the BBC don't learn because they've been doing the same since Tennant left. And the irony? It was ahead of everyone with a female producer of 24 in the early 60s and a director who was non white. And Newman who was a non Brit. Doctor Who the show is like the TARDIS and Doctor. A rebel against the norm :)
@@calumbishop7082 they havent really had an order to them, they're just releasing them when it works for them, possibly so they can hype up s25 later down the line. I mean they released season 23 before 22 and 22 is definitely better than 23.
@@custardtimelord5502 I mean season 23 made sense because its technically all one big story (as well as being half the length of season 22 which made it cheaper to re-release), though I will agree it is inconsistent in their choices (for example why release season 18 before season 16 which is also technically one big story, why release season 19 rather than either of season 20 or 21 both of which are better)
Note to self, start carat business and become galactic septillionaire, and then I’ll retire to penhaxagol 3, where so I’ve heard, the woman are very fond of, metal
I've always wanted an eighth Doctor spin off show. Now that the older McCoy is basically canon (bad word, I know) I just want a new season with McCoy. Just do it. Please.
Older 7 was always canon. The man took a very, VERY, long time to get to Skaro to get the Master's ashes and everything else before that and after Survival
I hated it when it first aired. Then when the DVD's started being released, naturally I collected them. I figured I might as well pick up some Sly McCoy ones one day. Now I realise that when it first aired, I was just a young teen with a stick up his arse just because it wasn't Star Wars. It's funny what you learn in retrospect. Anyhow, LOVE his era now.
I'm not much of a fan of this season, but season 25 and 26 are both great and contain some of my favorite dr who stories ever (remembrance of the daleks, the greatest show in the galaxy, the curse of fenric, survival)
I'll put my hand up and say I hated this season. Think the next two were excellent, and had the Beeb stuck with the show, it would have started becoming mainstream again, it had some really good writing and characterisation.
Moffat: the old Doctors don't look like they used to or arent as fit as they were, so I'll only bring back the modern doctors. Pete McTighe: watch this.....
Considering that Moffat himself implied that some Future generations just went to be Older Looking Past Regenerations [i.e The Curator] mans could very well get anyone; buy Didn't big mad
Seeing Mel's face light up realizing the Doctor has comeback shows why Doctor Who is incredible. Multiple Generations have come to represent this character and no matter their face, no matter who they met, you smile seeing all of them :)
I had chills when Sylvester revealed himself as the Doctor. I thought it would be a sort of cameo where he wouldn’t be seen, but the moment he’s revealed to be wearing the costume is brillant 😁😁😁
I always thought Bonnie slightly raised her real voice for Mel, and i can't be the only one who noticed she was speaking normally until she said 'Doctor'. Then she went full on Mel again :D
To the BBC and Doctor Who - Give Peter, Colin, Paul McGann and the real McCoy one more appearance their Doctors in the 60th Anniversary. Even if you have to come up with some creativity into the scenes of "Temporary Aging Distortion" or some other interesting way. We need the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th (if he will), 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Doctors together (add the 14th if the rumours are true). Forget the endgame, the time lord victorious needs to happen on the big screen!
I met Sylvester McCoy back in 2017, he's such a lovely person. He is just like he appears in Dr Who, slightly zanny and warm, it was a pleasure to meet my Doctor :D
Current Production team seem to be throwing any old sh** onto the wall to see what sticks. Unfortunately it all seems to stick. :0 Season 24, made on a shoestring by people who cared about stories rather than woke politics.
@@Thunderbalderdash Politics have nothing to do with it. We even had an entire serial dedicated to critizise margaret tatcher policies. Nothing wrong with that.
I’m so getting this! And I honestly think we need more stuff like these sketches. I don’t care how old the classic doctors are, I don’t care how cheap the costumes look, seeing Classic Who aspects in modern day filming is something I didn’t know I needed until now
Bonnie Langford has been on the go for such a long time now. She was in a small clip, when she was much much younger, in Bugsy Malone. You should try and find it, she still had the massive hair.
When Stephen Moffatt didn't wanna bring back the Classic Doctors for the 50th because they'd "look too old", 8 years on and McCoy looks incredible here so... what was the excuse??
@@hothemeep1219 but they could of easily made something up to explain why they looked older. they did it with the tenth doctor when he bumped into the 5th doctor
@@hothemeep1219 Obviously he looks older, it's been 31 years. But too old? Nah, I look at that and I see 7, I believe that's the Doctor, I don't just see Sylv in his outfit. Like at the end of Shada, where they show the new live action footage, admittedly I don't see 4, I see Tom in a costume. If Sylv were to come back into the show like this, I'd believe it, 100%
@@hothemeep1219 Well damn it’s been 25 years since the movie. So it’s been a long time. I think they’ve all aged well. Especially Tom, his voice is still amazing.
It's a cute workaround the fact the actors couldn't touch each other. The natural response (for the characters) would have been for them to have hugged after so many years apart....
These promo videos are just as much looked forward to as the Blu-ray collections. So beautifully made - and this season is overdue a revisit. Can't wait!
I find in the audios she is usually the best part of all her stories, which is quite a complement because most of them are pretty bloody good! She’s a great presence and she has excellent chemistry with all her Doctors.
Have to admit that Bonnie Langford and Sylvester McCoy really shine on the extras for this set. Makes me wish Bonnie could have put more of her own personality into Melanie.
We definitely need more episodes like "the day of the doctor" it was brilliant. Also i hope they get us a good and fresh doctor for season 13 of new who. And hopefully a man (no sexism but it just doesn't work)
@@redcrafterlppa303 The Doctor was established as a man for over fifty years. Is it to much to keep him a man if it's established or does that make me sexist? The answer you're looking for isn't 'Yes he's a sexist'.
@@pferreira1983 To true at first the idea of a female doctor intrigued me due to thinking of the hi jinks of the doctor getting used to not only a new body but a new gender but well we all see how that turned out i cant stand jody i have seen card board cut outs with more charisma than her not to mention her innocent death count is one of the highest in new who that i have seen at least dont know if im right or not.
If ever there was proof that Sylvester McCoy could still pull off playing his Doctor, it's right here. Moffat was so wrong when he said in 2013 that the classic series Doctors can't convincingly play their Doctors as though they were the same age. Get Sylvester McCoy back for the 60th!
Then there's him pulling a just because retcon of the Time War out of his arse and used poor John Hurt like jangling keys as if fandom were newborns. HYPOCRISY
Ok, yeah, Sylvester can absolutely come back. Given how old he was when he came back for the eighth he'd be able to fit right in. He looks amazing in his getup.
Great to see McCoy back :) even if it is for a brief thing like this. But even with the age and weight, I can easily see him coming back, Speaking of weight, Colin’s looking good as well.
Season 24 may not be the best Classic Who Season...however, this trailer MORE than makes up for that! 😅😍 I have to say that I've enjoyed watching these Box Set trailers. Every one of them is just soooo unique and a worthwhile watch just on their own! If only everyone ELSE knew how to make adverts like this...AWESOME JOB! 👍😁
This is everything I needed today, seeing Sylvester McCoy back in the Seventh Doctor's outfit, looking just as marvellous as always! Now put him back in the main show looking exactly like this!
Oh😢😢😢😢 this got me so sad and happy! My favourite season!(dont hate) Sylvester looks great in the costume like he could come back and I honestly think Pete could write Mel so well
He's one of many since the 90s to give Mel better material than the TV scripts. Plus the 7 & Mel audios set during the season (plus with Ace when she rejoined them) help give it a broader scope and balance
I always thought that Mel was poorly used in the series. The idea of the character was great, and quite cutting edge at the time - a female computer expert. Brilliant. But the writers never capitalised on this or really used the characters inherent skills. I guess they must have thought “oh, we’ve got Violet Bott from Just William - let’s just turn her into an irritating screamer” which I thought was neither fair on Mel, nor on Bonnie Langford.
Season 24 is fascinating to me in a lot of fronts; in many ways, it’s an oddity in terms of what came before (the voyeuristic, brash and bold storytelling of the Colin Baker era) and what came after (the final two seasons being part of the Cartmel Masterplan and having a more brooding, darker Doctor). It’s just so happy with itself, the absolutely bonkers elements sticking out in the roster. I love that it didn’t take itself too seriously, incorporating a lot of pantomime elements and making a flawed, but genuinely sunny and enjoyable season. It’s also interesting to watch in that Sylvester McCoy’s most natural performances have arguably been in Season 24. He was a stage actor steeped in panto, and fit the buffoonish, cosmic showman version of early-years Seven seamlessly. Watching Seasons 25 and 26, I’ve always been under the impression that Sylv has been most comfortable with this side of his Doctor. Not to say that he doesn’t work as the mastermind manipulator / Champion of Time that the Cartmel Masterplan made him (I actually think his *best* performances, not his most *natural* , come from the bulk of S25 and Ghost Light of S26), but he’s always been a real natural as an entertainer, and the spoon-playing Seventh Doctor of S24 is always a joy to revisit.
MY MEMORY It's 1987. My Dad is baby sitting me. I've got to record a show on TV called Doctor Who. The story is the first of a new series. A stranger on the floor of the TARDIS is turned over revealing his face engulfed in light and energy. Then one person changes to another stranger?!?! Cue what would become the TRUE start of my time as a Doctor Who fan. And all these years later? Never stopped. Once you become a fan of Doctor Who it never leaves you. I'd seen Peter Davison and Colin Baker but Sylvester McCoy WAS my Doctor. All these stories mean something extra special when it's where "it all started'. McCoy's era is now seen, RIGHTLY, as the point where Doctor Who was growing up and evolving. For far too long it had maybe played it too safe? ACE is the original Rose. The 7th Doctor is a Doctor, who along with Ace, has more substance. He has the mystery more and more that had been lost for most of the 80s but also going into areas the show hadn't with the Doctor as a character and the show full stop. I always say this: The new series owes SO much to the 7th Doctor's era and what came after. McCoy's era was a case of full circle returning to the true essence of the show but evolving it as well? So, this release for fans who started with Doctor Who with McCoy IS something truly special. We can be sad about what could've been but let's be glad of what WAS and we still have to enjoy. You're all wonderful Doctor Who fans. Here's to the future :)
35 years later, Sylvester still bears a passable resemblance to his Doctor. I'd love to see him make a return for the 60th anniversary special in 2023!
Sylvester McCoy! The most underrated Doctor, and I think, one of the best. He had such a mischievous way about him as the Doctor. Bonnie Langford doesn't look too shabby either for her age.
See i think his doctor was the one that had so much potential and got cut off too soon. His last series you could see some parallels to new who like a prototype in a way
she has aged quite gracefully hasnt she, I enjoyed 7th the darkest of the classic doctors, perhaps the darkest of them all (except 12trh in a fury) oh the fun!!!
McCoy always looked like he was just having fun. Loved the misquoted quotes in the first season (wish they kept those going) and loved his mischevious smile. His costume change scene in his first episode was priceless.
Tom Baker was my Doctor but when Sylvester came onto the scene he also became my Doctor. I like the announcements for the collections they are becoming adventures on their own.
The thing I want most in season 13 of nu who is for McCoy to make an appearance in a multi doctor episode. Even if its a small part. I just love Sylvester McCoy's doctor and I cant wait to buy the box set
As nauseating as much of this era of Doctor Who is to watch (and I've been a fan since the mid-1970s), this trailer is absolutely magnificent. Bravo to all involved.
As a McCoy era fan, someone who grew up around this era of the show, this is best thing the BBC has done for me as a fan in years. Now to bring him back for the next big anniversary...
I got to meet Sylvester a few years ago (along with Paul, which considering they were the first Doctors I met was a bit of a starstruck moment), he's so charming and funny in real life
That...That was Amazing 🤩 Sylvesters acting is just amazing i love it. He gotta make a return to main show one day, maybe even just a reference, or maybe on 60th anniversary 🤔
I really want to see Sylvester back as the Doctor again, his era was cut short and needs a finale to lead into the movie plus what happened to Ace more questions need resolving.
I love just how clever all the trailers are for the Blu-Ray box sets. It's a little bit of new Doctor Who with familiar faces! BBC is on their game with these - it's lovely to see Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford have another interaction as the Doctor and Mel!
