- Hello all! Today I have someone I managed to uncover and get for all of you to enjoy, this is an LBC interview from 1988/1989 featuring Ian Levine, Eric Saward, Janet Fielding and Colin Baker.
Nothing online has this interview nor can I find any other recordings of this special interview so please enjoy what could be lost media!
I must state that a police interference signal was caught during the tail end of this recording and unfortunately can’t be removed, this is also why the recording cuts abruptly.
I hope you enjoy this audio interview and I look forward to seeing you all soon :)

One of the best DW things I've seen on UA-cam. Thanks for posting two years. How timed has flied by.
Interesting about the line of the importance of accuracy with history. This is something almost ignored in 2024.
This was a great interview! A very down to earth chat, with great n interesting dialogue. I recall very well when Who took off here in the U.S. in the early '80's. Unfortunately (and we didnt know it then) the glory days of the best Doctors was coming to a close. I agree with the group here, the first four Doctors were the best. Peter Davison was ok, but Colin and Sylvester (though great actors) misfired in how the Doctor was portrayed, way to pantome-ish. Plus back in the glory days there were great behind the scenes ppl too, Barry Letts, Phillip Hinchcliffe, Bob Holmes, etc...the mid to late 80's didnt have that. Eric Saward did catch some flak for that famous interview with Starburt magazine back in '86, but in retrospect a good bit of what he said re: the direction and tone of the show at the time was definitely accurate. Thanks again for the interview!
I like how the consensus that T. Baker was the best doctor dates back to at most 1988
At most? It dates back to 1974 or perhaps 1975 for some people.
The only reason for that is because Tom hogged it for seven years.
Watch his era and you'll find that the last three seasons are rubbish and his 'performance' is a joke - utter pantomime, farcical mugging, asides to the camera and feeble gags abound. Utterly unbelievable and hardly the best Doctor.
Just because he hung around forever and is all people remember that isn't any indication of him giving a flawless and unbeatable portrayal.
Great timecapsule. Thanks for sharing this. Wonder if Eric apologised to Nick Mallet after the brilliant Curse of Fenric! Wasn't such a bad director after all!
I was really looking forward to the film discussion 😢
I'm confused, the description and Thumbnail say that Colin Baker is in this interview when he clearly isn't
Thanks so much :)
to me this represents the worst of 89s fandom.
Both an over criticism of current showrunner (which is true still tbh) and also a sense of entitlement over what the tone of the show should be. Well done Janet for sticking up to Ian there. I respect all he’s done for the missing episodes and for the banger that is Doctor in Distress but his type of fandom is really unattractive to me
Yes, how dare fans not be insipid zombies constantly praising the showrunner without any disagreement?
How dare fans have minds and opinions of their own?
@sadako24 It's worse now. Say you didn't rate a female Doctor and you're branded a misogynist, hounded online and likened to Peter Sutcliffe!
I agree.
Oh wow good find
Eric is merciless, but you know he is right about pretty much everything he says.
No he isn't. He thinks Colin can't act and was a bad Doctor, nothing could be further from the truth. He just licked Robert Holmes' batty crease and only one of his stories were any good.
How he could be such a treacherous snake to Colin, after confiding in him and even being invited to his house. What a truly loathsome individual and he is still sniping and making derogatory remarks about JNT to this day.
No way....!
How the Hell did they get Colin and Eric to share a room again?
This was in the late 80s, so just after or before the show got cancelled
@@RedMakesMusic_ I'd assumed by then Saward's infamous 1986 Starburst interview where he slated Colin as miscast had been out and had gotten back to Colin.
Unless this was recorded before then.
Maybe?
Colin Baker was not part of the panel.
@@ChuckKahn sounds like 1988, the way they talk about McCoy sound like there basing it of series 24, I reckon series 25 and 26 hadn't aired yet, so maybe like mid 1988
Hope you all enjoy!
Whats the doctor who theme is called in the beginning
Ian Levine these days cannot enage in an interview without excessive swearing and aggression. People have definitely got more angry over subsequent decades from when this was aired.
McCoy got really good once Ace took over and Cartmel took over fully [too much of the dodgy Pip/Jane Baker at the time]. Perhaps Saward and Levine, arguably just as culpable to the follies of that era as JNT. Levine was the one obsessed with continuity to the point of inaccessibility, and Saward made everything so gratuitously violent and I guess didn't have a handle on the writers [I mean Cartmel didn't have this problem].
Of course this interview seems to have taken place just before the McCoy/Ace dynamic hit big, and the Cartmel Master Plan took off...and proved that McCoy was in fact, very charismatic
And as for Davison, him not being that charismatic was very much the point. Granted I think Matt Smith ended up being far better at the awkward, sufferer better, but it was a decent idea...especially with the overly hammy and vain performances both came after.
Davison was a bland nonentity and Colin was superb. He actually injected a personality into the Doctor after the Fifth vanilla clone.
Oh wow this is fascinating...I hadn't heard Ian express these views on the 80s Doctors and I have myself only recently come round to his opinion. JNT definitely commissioned some good stories but his casting of Doctors was way off - even though Davison did his best with it and McCoy had potential, as is said here.
Colin was better than both of them.
Trust that Fielding thing to be there, gropjng around for money.
Slagged the programme off for years in her feeble 'Germaine Greer feminist' phase and since its been back shes ditched all her principles (even that the show shouldn't return) because there's money to be made from interviews such as these.
What they were basically sayin were that all 80s Doctors were pantomime doctors and only the first 4 were any good ......which is what i were sayin all along ont facebook and such like .........before being kicked off.......my god love those guys Eric saward and ian levine totally agree with their comments............and Whispering Bob Harris ..what more could you ask for ?
It's obvious that they are talking about Season 24. I wonder how the interview would have gone after Season 25 or Season 26. I think that maybe they would have said that Doctor Who was getting better (?)
