I met Sophie, I was so close to meeting Sylvester but didn't get to, although we saw each other. I can also confirm that Sophie was one of if not the nicest person I've ever met.
we don't see enough of Sylvester McCoy, he's a brilliant actor nice to see both Sylvester & Sophie looking well & having a laugh together 😊 (smiley face emoji)
Well, for what it's worth, my understanding is that Capaldi despite his age really is like the hipster rockstar of Series 9 and that Whittaker has the same energetic childlike eccentricity as her own Doctor...
For many the show is what brought them to Doctor Who, but for me it was these two talents (& talented Philip Olivier as Hex), and Big Finish. A big thank you to all who worked on these audio plays and brought me so many hours of entertainment and fun.
So basically they were always planning on doing the timeless child story? I really wanna show this vid to all the timeless child haters and be like it was already planned 30 something years ago you have no reason to be upset about it. It was always going to be cannon.
He is literally in my top 3. He's number 2 after Jon Pertwee and before Patrick Troughton. Number 4 would be Peter Davison if he looked the way he did in at home with the braithwaites when he was middle-aged and got his big sickhot bare @rse out and everything. Otherwise it's William Hartnell or Peter Capaldi. Or...both.
"I quite like being blown up." This is why he made such a good doctor, he's enjoys doing mad, crazy and dangous things with an attitude of fun and enjoyment.
Sylvester and Sophie doubt you will ever see this but you definitely one of the best double act of Doctor and Companion ever Sylvester you one of my favourite Incarnations glad big Finish can explore the relationship between the Doctor and Ace more just a quick question again doubt you will see this but Sophie if you could have Ace meet on the Tv or in big Finish any of the modern Doctors who? hope you are both having a great day
Their relationship warms my heart to the core, what a lovely thing to see (and Sophie really is that lovely with everyone. I waited for two hours to get her new book signed and even after the hundreds before me she took the time to ask me questions and have a proper chat)
My favorite Ace quote..."This is all like some sort of game to you. The only problem is you're the only one who knows all the rules. Who are you!!!!!!!" And then Sylvester gives his wink
And my favorite McCoy moment was when he had that philosophical debate with a door guard and lost. I would have liked more moments like that vs action scenes. If you're going to have a low budget you might as well make the dialogue really good.
@@Jack-Oates Very atmospheric sound track, what I felt was a very original story, the doctor with no companions as really shows how good the 7th Doctor (Sylvester) is, Katherine Parkinson does though play her character wonderfully and could easily have become a companion.
THANK YOU,Sylvester for reading out my question to Sophie.Even though you did get my name wrong,but I'll forgive you for that.People do get it wrong a lot...😅👍👏
Sylvester McCoy is a good guy. My dad and I were at a meet and greet with him at the local PBS and it was over and as we were leaving we accidentally bumped into him and he was just as gracious and kind even though it was my dad and I. Very sweet man. Xoxo ♥ ♥
I just bought You Are The Doctor and Other Stories! Big Finish, I doubt you're reading this, but I would really like it If you tried the choose-your-own-adventure format again. Except, really go all out with it. Don't just make it so that it's kind of a predetermined path anyway. Actually, go ahead, and make multiple branching paths, that lead to different endings. I think it would be fantastic! :)
They actually DID follow up on the Cartmel Masterplan in the New Adventure books. Lungbarrow remains one of the most important moments in Who for those of us who accept the New Adventures as being a canon continuation of the Seventh Doctor. I won't spoil it, except to say it finally explained why there were technically five incarnations of the Doctor before the First Doctor (as we first saw way back in The War Games) and asks far more questions than it answers. It's an absolutely amazing story and I hope one Day Big Finish does an adaptation so more people can experience this hard-to-find novel and all the lore it brings together.
@@Super_Mario128 Ahh, but was The Other even Gallifreyan? We know his father was human but not what his mother was (would be interesting if it was actually Fate or even Death - who's been staying unusually close to him throughout all of his incarnations). I doubt we'll get an official BBC answer since they've abandoned the original 14 Doctors for the reboot, but maybe we'll see it brought up in a BFP in future. Personally, I would love it if the Doctor turned out to be one of the Menti Celesti. It would explain why Rassilon feared him so much and why he seemed almost immortal towards the end of the show's run. Since they rebooted the Doctor, I've been focused on his offspring in the original multiverse. Maybe in one of my novels I'll revisit the idea, as I hold the Cartmel Masterplan, New Adventures, and BFP (which is offiicially licensed) as part of canon. The other novel lines and media... not so much. It's hard enough keeping the timelines coherent (time travel has a way of rewriting things, but they still happened despitre no longer having had is will be happening, for example).
_Thank You_ McCoy and Aldred for making my weekends in early '90s New Zealand rock, and _Thank You_ Big Finish for producing unceasingly fantastic adventures that improve on the TV show (if that's ever needed!) yet fit into it seamlessly!
Love these two. They had such a great chemistry on screen. Met Sylvester at a signing in London back in the 90's and a few years ago I sat next to Sophie on the train to Cardiff 😊
RU-vid recommended and got it right, Seven and Ace were my favourites as a kid, and Sylvester is on a par with Tom Baker for different reasons. Sophie will always be my favourite companion, very daring and energetic, and still seems like that today.
Wow! They share a birthday? I thought I knew everything about my favourite Tardis team. While disappointed that my question wasn't picked (guess because I was addressing them both while it looks like they responded to questions addressed to each separately) , it's still wonderful to watch these two in anything. Love from Egypt 🇪🇬
It takes a Scot to suggest an Irishman says Boyo. I ill give him a Celtic pass for that :-) If we can't have new filmed 7th Doctor & Ace adventures we should at least get some really well animated ones of Big Finish recordings.
Oxford English Dictionary: *boyo* _colloquial_ and _dialectical._ Chiefly Anglo-Irish Earliest printed examples: 1870 GM Hopkins' journal "133 Irish Expressions... Boyo, Laddo = A boy and a half" 1898 Seumas MacManus _The Bend of the Road_ and 1914 James Joyce _Dubliners_ (both Irish authors)
I love sylvester mccoy is my seven favourite doctor who and I love Sophie aldred ace is my third favourite doctor who companion and I love series 25 of doctor who classic and series 26 of classic doctor who and I love every story with Sophie aldred in them and I love her in the power of the doctor her in doctor who for along time and sylvester mccoy in doctor for along time
Love both sylvester and Sophie, they're amazing I do wish either of them could return, but the audio dramas are doing me well so far, I am now mid way through thin ice
The Doctor Who Guide Although when making bacon sandwiches best not to look in the basement of a certain house on Gravanax Isle. *hears someone whistling Oranges and Lemons*
4:15 Immediately think of the Timeless Child revelation when they start discussing this. I know a lot of fans hated it but it's interesting that previous cast are on board with it, even if they didn't know it at the time. I mean they literally ponder the idea of the Doctor being godlike, and look how it's turned out!
I’ve said this before and will do again. I LOVE McCoy’s delivery of his R’s. I want to hear him talking to Arthur Darvil’s Rory William’s! Or for the Buffy fans Tara Macclay(!) I would love to hear that!
Interesting how they brought up the idea of the Doctor being the Other even without being questioned about it. Perhaps because the show is currently touching those topics again?
Fantastic chemistry between these awesome actor's & thanks to Big Finish we've heard these characters expand there story arcs through some very dark times, that opening episode of Afterlife still gives me chills.
These two are just so brilliant together; I loved their episodes together,. and seeing them together again years afterwards, they still have that chemistry and magic between them..... wonderful! 😊
I love that they used my call sign for HAM radio when they answered my question. That put me over the moon and back again. @FrauYvaJ is hard to pronounce. :) Here, my nickname is 'Lady' because the YvaJ is not pronounceable.
He mentioned Dunoon! I remember in a Doctor Who magazine interview he said he was once called "The Twist King of Dunoon" because he taught the dance to the people who lived there.
My first thought was... does Sophie still have THAT jacket? (I am commenting at the start, so if Sophie mentions it I sincerely apologise, and I will get mine).
I met him on the underground! I went up to him and said ‘you look just like dr who’ he replied ‘that’s coz I am dr who’ we then chatted all the way from Baker Street to West Hampstead. Loveliest man ever!!!
Here's a horrible idea: they still both look the part. Make a one-hour, direct to streaming movie of a 7th Doctor and Ace adventure. Terrible idea. Don't do it. (This is an attempt at reverse psychology).
I was in my early teenage years when Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy were playing the doctor and Ace . Really enjoyed them both, and as a Tom Boy lady, i always wanted to be like ace
