For a near-octogenarian he's still incredibly quick-witted and funny
Are you saying old people are dull and boring? 🤪😜😉
Actors would be like that. I used to study in a theater studio under the apprenticeship of a professional theater and movie director and I swear I was deadly sure he was only sixty or maybe even fifty years old. However, as it turns out he was actually more than eighty years old. He always was such an energetic man that I couldn't believe it, when I eventually found out.
Sylvester is the most lovable actor around, such a genuine and funny guy. A grandfather to our nation.
Sylvester is a treasure. As a kid I had a Doctor Who club at my school that used to get many actors and crew from Doctor Who come to our school in Merton, London and talk to us, we had Michael Wisher, Nicholas Courtney, Terrence Dicks and JNT to name a few, but a real highlight was a trip to BBC TV Centre to the set of Ghostlight, and we got to watch dress rehearsals. Sylv and Sophie came and talked to us on their break and in costume. I was wearing my knitted tank top with the question marks my gran made for me, and Sylv wasn’t wearing his, but he said “SNAP!” And I said he wasn’t wearing his, but é said it was dress rehearsal and it was too hot lol. The pair of them were so lovely. Such a highlight from my childhood.
Wow in those days that would’ve been my dream come true as a kid. Mind you I dread to think how startstruck I would’ve been.
@@sg-zd8eb We were pretty tongue-tied. It was the same when we went to see Jon Pertwee in ‘The Ultimate Adventure’. We got to meet him backstage and we were just as pathetic then as we were with Sylv :D
Great memories! He was a natural to play The Doctor, just like Tom Baker, what you see/saw on-screen is how they are for real
And he's a little superbeautiful mother.
@@ProblembeingGhost Light huh? Should make that into a t-shirt.
McCoys final season was AWESOME. It was back on track in my opinion. Every story was great. Still love the 7th Doctor.
Moffat said it best - after the earlier ‘Pip and Jane’ misfires of Season 24, the whole shebang was firmly back on the rails by _Remembrance of the Daleks._ I’d actually go so far as to argue that things were slowly turning around even as early as _Delta and the Bannermen_ . . .
He’s so sweet and kindhearted it makes me wanna cry lol
When Sylvester was announced, my generation knew him from a contemporary children's show called 'Eureka', about inventors. And so I already knew him from that. But if you go back you could have anticipated an even more anarchic Doctor than he ended up being!
The real Mccoy!
“Professor!” ❤️
'I'm a doctor, not a time lord!'
Sylvester is such an entertainer! I saw him at a convention a few years ago and he was just as mad during his panel! There's a reason why he's my favourite Doctor!
That's probably the reason he got the job cos he is a bit eccentric.
Haha. Love Sylvester. He’s still full of energy. Great to see him looking so well.
How wonderful to see Sylvester McCoy doing these conventions, he is great and very entertaining. I could easily listen to him for ages. I love to meet him and see something like this live one day, in fact him Colin and Tom are all quite entertaining at these conventions it seems and would love to meet them all. Also good on him coming down into the crowd too!
Man, he's an energetic and personable guy.
It was a Great Panel!!! I was there and it was the best panel on that Friday!! I did actually meet McCoy on that Sunday and he was really nice and cool!! I hope that he shows up for the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary!
Ittl likely be like with Tom Baker in the 50th where he plays a character whom the doctor based their regeneration on.
This man is pure energy
What a delight he is! ❤️
Honestly he still has it, for ffs give him a cameo in a new dr episode please!
Done
Dusted.
McCoy is so lovely! He is brilliant :)
I was lucky enough to see McCoy at a convention appearance in St. Paul, Minnesota back in 1987. He was immensely charming and entertaining and I was a diehard fan of his Doctor Who from day one.
Great video. Sylv's still full of beans!
If you don't love Sylvester you aren't human - you must be a Timelord "Master? Is that YOU in the back?" :)
I'm a new fan and even I think this needs more likes
I remember him from TISWAS.
My respect for him just goes up and up....I remember him on Vision On (look it up) so to me he was always a talent since the early 70s. He makes it look effortless which is a real skill.
AWESOME !!!
My favoriye Doctor of them all.
Saw him in a film Lost a Christmas. Who fans will love it.
What a wonderful kind lovely man
one of the more entertaining panels then just sitting on the stage
He's so entertaining. He was my Doctor
He looks Really Nice with Those Crocs.
Similar. In fact Alex Tuplin on the school bus told me it was the guy from 'Eureka' (our contemporary reference for a children's show - even though I subsequently recognized him as one of the 'O-Men' on Jigsaw) and my immediate thought was 'That fits'. And it's important you get that immediate buzz. So many names were passed around before Jodie was mooted - just before she was announced - and I had the same impression. In fact, I think there are similarities in the performance.
I love how Sylvester dresses ‘Doctorish’ in private life, in accordance with _his_ Doctor’s style! I guess this convention costume is a _little_ more affected than he’d wear on the street ‘cos he’s slightly ‘in character’ here but it’s still pretty indicative of how he does often dress. A lot of the time his costumes are better than the TV version insofar as they’re less ‘designed’ and a little more toned down and natural (I love his costume’s silhouette and colours but the ‘?’ sweater vest was bad).
‘Crocs’ are bad though! 🤣
Yeah this is almost exactly what the Doctor wears in the VNAs
That's because they had less than a month to create the Doctor's costume since the entire pre-production of season 24 was so messy with Eric Saward having stormed out as script editor before season 23 was even finished and the BBC demanding JNT to sack Colin Baker if he wanted a season 24 at all. This resulted in Sylvester having to take a publicity photo wearing his private attire and in the end their costume did take some cues from that, resulting in his Doctor's attire ending up looking somewhat similar to his private one.
He’s lovely. I love how he plays on his doddery these days
Camera guy had his work cut out for him 🤣
I love sylvester mccoy he is my seventh favourite doctor who and love remember of daleks and Time and the rani and paradise towers and slive nemesis and the gaesteshow in the galaxy and the happiness potrot and series 25 and series 26 and series 24 of classic doctor who
I used to watch Sylvester every Saturday morning on Tiswas. He was so wacky and such a laugh.
He hasn't lost any of his vitality or enthusiasm. A real entertainer!
Hes still got the magic he held them for the entire 40 minutes and didnt even need the stage lol if the moderator hadnt interrupted Im sure he wouldve continued talking to them for another hour.
I think he'd make a great Palpatine
Sylvester walked on stage to the WRONG Doctor Who theme! ... It should have been HIS theme!
omg another fiveish doctors we need it:0
also the poor transguy, hope he is okay that must have been uncomfortable
yeah you would hope there was an apology from the moderator :(
Unfortunately you gotta come to expect it...
@@DistantCousin yea totally I experience that in daily life all the time, it's not like I am offended people don't do it intentionally, but still everytime it hurts a little, but the guy in video might be confident enough to not even care I might be projecting
there you go the "doctor who went woke in 2018" people, listen to this guy
What's your point? The very first question posed to Sylv is utter woke bollocks "Especially in these days of toxic positivity...." ???!!!!! What the hell does that even mean?!!!
@@rnw2739 I dont understand what are you pointing at I was talking about them doing progressive politics behind the scenes way before new who even started
@@abcdefgh6951 Sylvester even said that the writing wasn't very good for Jodie. Which is true. She was done a massive disservice. And doctor who prior to season 10 did messaging a lot more tactfully than they do these days.
@@diamondaxe4133 I am not saying its good, just that its there, the people I am talking about dont care that its done badly just that it would even be there
Modern Who is just a bunch of Identity politics, which isn't about expressing a genuine political view, but instead is more about posing. They call it "virtue signalling". Back in 20th century Who the politics were genuinely held by the show's makers. Conversely, Nu-hu depends on changing the Doctor into another minority identity every 3 series in order to gain decent figures, as a business strategy. They will soon run out of identities to exploit. Luckily for them the US has invented a new one. But will "transgender" still prove to be a rating's magnet in five years time, especially in the UK?
Nu-hu has been circling the drain for a while now. No one can even remember the last time it was decent. Eve of the Daleks is as good as it's ever going to get.
17:55 wth is that me with black mask, holy crap am famous
intresting Sylvester new the wrighting was not very good in the last era. does not miss a trick.
"Doctor Who is woke now"
Always has been. Always will be.
Possibly true but there were times it was better done.....
Woke is just a word being used by people not able to critique something in a digestible fashion. So even when there is issues with the writing it’s always drowned out by bigotry or lazy people, a thought they tend to come hand in hand
Whenever these actors from Tom Baker to Sylvester McCoy start spewing their politics it gets very boring. Otherwise, this was enjoyable.
Poor precious thing.
If you're into politics then it's never boring to hear the Whos being political, although, being actors, they rarely voice an opinion. Eccleston would be the exception but he's the black sheep of the Who "fam"
@@davidbull7210 Well, I'm glad it was brief.
@@stevkyt2374 Were you one of the weirdos that was in the audience that day?
Depends. I can see it both ways. I don’t think that being a prominent actor is necessarily the right ‘platform’ to talk politics, but then again, why not? - free speech applies to everybody, right? As long as it’s a bit more insightful and erudite than when they just jump onto the _’Muh Tories are racist, muh Brexit is racist, muh U.K. is racist!’_ bandwagon (looking at _YOU,_ David Tennant), and they’re little more objectively reserved about it then it’s OK I guess.
Notice how McCoy praises Jodie herself rather than her performance or her interpretation of the character. Anyway, modern _Doctor Who_ is woke as a joke and Ncuti and T-gurl aren’t going to go down well at all . . .
