Andi Peters chats with some Doctor Who fans who believe that the programme is ripe for regeneration, and whose sentiments are echoed by former Doctors Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison and Colin Baker.
Selina Scott introduces his report.
This clip is from Entertainment Express, originally broadcast 2 April, 1993.

3:07 lmao he wouldn't be saying that now. Colin is the best person we've ever converted into an uber fan.
How times have changed.
Colin "I've written my own Doctor Who fiction and will appear at anything Who-related" Baker, not a big fan??
He can go more than a few days without thinking about i? Well then he couldn't possibly be a fan.
Exactly, the guy is a hypocrite. He’s arrogant, however I did actually like his Doctor.
I think the way his doctor who ended you can perhaps maybe see why there might be some discontent from his part as I think he was treated poorly by the bbc in his defence, and the writing was poor for his doctor, I don’t feel he naturally suit the doctor as I feel the writing perhaps has got to be more tailored to his style for it to work, but I respected his professionalism as an actor to the part
@matthewcorcoran2891 that's not it at all. He was extremely bitter at how BBC had treated him, very similar to Eccleston, but ever since joining Big Finish in '99 he has been one of the biggest advocates for the show.
I remember this airing so clearly! I was in secondary school, and completely obsessed with Doctor Who.
I miss these times.
Nice video clip. A great nostalgic look back at just how good it was.
Fantastic to see and hear the late great Jon Pertwee again. It's good to reminisce those days. Thanks for uploading this clip.
👍👍🙏
Pertwee was the Doctor Who of my generation. Only seems like yesterday...
Yes , it's pertwee all the way
I’ve been a Doctor Who fan for almost 25 years, and had NEVER seen this clip before! Thank you for bringing to my attention :)
It was transmitted on BBC One back in January 1993 on a Friday night.
@@nicholasdickens2801I watched it when it was first broadcast. Good times.
Andi Peters never ages.
I'd long suspected that Andi Peters is a Time Lord. It's 2022 and he still looks exactly the same.
He is a lord but not a time
@@TheRidgeChannel😂
2024 and DW is still on super proud of it been watching it as long as i can remember as a 20 year old collage student today i thank everybody on the show for keeping it strong since the 60s and still going
Scary to think we almost lost it again before Russell jumped back in 😅
Cheers for posting stuff on here thats actually good versus other channels. The Delia video a few weeks ago were brilliant to watch!
This channel is a great idea, the BBC must have thousands of hours of programming that would never normaly see the light of day.
Doctor who is the best program ever made.
I’m just saying it. I can’t even lie it’s just so special cuz it can be anything.
get your medication checked
It is the most TV to ever TV.
@@ClintBandito I agree
@@MrDaiseymay I haven’t even seen all of it like the classic stuff looks to dated for me to watch but like it is genuinely the most creative and innovative concept ever which is what makes it unbeatable.
Like u could have the worst episode u have ever seen on tv about something very silly, followed by one of the most serious and thought provoking things you’ve ever seen followed by a comedy romp
It was the best programme ever made. It’s close to the worst now.
These poor fans at the time had to wait another 12 years!
3 more years for the movie
@@Brychan1102 Yeah was gonna say wasn't that long before the movie came out which i wouldn't say was fantastic but Paul McGann was great and wished they could have done a brief series with him before moving on to Chris Eccleston McGann was great in the role
and it returned bigger than ever.
Paul McGann and Richard E grant between these two events, however. Including David Tennant's cameo.
Got to get Sean Pertwee in for a cameo of his late father, looks just like him.
Always makes me sad Pertwee didn't live long enough to see the revival, I reckon he'd have loved it.
Aw yeah :(
Thought Sylvester McCoy would've been talking on hear seeing how he was the last doctor before it was cancelled in 1989 and still one of classic doctors who is alive today.
U forgot Tom Baker who is still alive but wasn't even there 🙄
@@mrbee4life182 Tom Baker hated doctor who. He was probably laughing at it being off air. He never wanted anything to do with doctor who once his doctor regenerated. Didn't even turn up for the 5 doctors. He never cared about the fans.
@@jamiedrury9656 If he hated so much why was he in it for so long? I did wonder why he wasn't actually in the five doctors!
@@jamiedrury9656 That's complete BS.
@@jamiedrury9656 what a load of rubbish no he doesn't also why would he be doing so many big finish if he hated it? He didn't do five doctors as he had only left few years earlier and was trying distance himself as he had been somewhat typecast and he wanted a more central role (he had an.ego)
Only another 12 years to wait.
Haven’t they got Andrew Beech and Steve Wickham’s names around the wrong way? Andrew Beech was the big organiser behind the Panopticon conventions before Who came back.
You know a disturbing amount about sexually inadequate virgins !
Scouring the comments to see if anyone else had picked up on this :D
Yup!
@@johnny5805 So he was spot on about you then?
I can't go several days without thinking about Doctor Who.
BRO THAT GUY WAS THE MASTER LOOK IT'S EVEN MAKING THE MASTER'S TARDIS NOISE!!!💀💀💀
How could we have missed this?
1993: We would lose Jon Pertwee soon; William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton had already gone. Colin Baker left the show with bitterness in 1986; it took some time for him to mellow out and support the show. It would be 11 more years before the Beeb would greenlight the new version (the Americanized 1996 TV movie notwithstanding) and continue for at least 17 years.
There's some irony that you americanised the word 'americanised'.
@@badwolf9090 I am American.
@@rjmcallister1888 Sorry, it was meant to be a joke
The American movie was not successful, In the US, they put it up against the REALLY REALLY popular slice-of-life family-oriented sitcoms, Roseanne and Home Improvement.
Some one who type up the credits got a couple of the fans names mixed up ie Andrew Bleech isn't his name it's the text guest fan and vice versa.
I wish that they would bring back Classic Dr Who anew.
Any day now
Aah Selina Scott. Champion of the ‘recently rogered’ look.
If they did Doctor who film in the 1990s instead of paul mcgann. The actors who almost played it who do you think would be a better doctor between Jeff goldblum, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford and Jim Carrey which one. They were close. It would be fun to see one of them doing it.
Boy those were some tough years
Not as rough as the last handful of years have been.
@@HOTD108_ couldn't agree more..
Nicely edited clips, which are from Resistance is Useless, but it really does drive home the work that has been done to restore the series since the Nineties. The Sixties (not talking about the tinting here of course, which is for style) and Pertwee you might understand more, but that clip of Peter Davison at 2:13 is dreadful and it was only broadcast eleven years before this segment was aired.
What are you drivelling about?
Never knew Princess Diana was a news presenter.
What ever that may mean is we’ll give it to America to have a look at then come back in full swing in 2005
Jesus, Selina Scott was so fine in those days...
Yeah she was 🔥😋👍🏻
Eccleston was worth the wait…..
at least we had hope back then. no such luck now.
I heard they just might bring Dr Who back.
Michael Grade tried to destroy something his uncle Lew tried to emulate. 🙄 He failed. 😆 Hooray for Russell T Davis, Steven Mottaf and Mark Gatiss, etc.
shame for chibnall though
@@pastorbri Not as bad as John Nathan Turner.
@@julianaylor4351 jnt>>>>>> chinball
@@julianaylor4351 Both bad 🙄
@@mrbee4life182 To different degrees, besides their might be someone worse one day, but I really hope not.
They get Andrew Beech and Steven Wickham mixed up 🤦♂️
A couple of clips originally included have been excised here, broadcast version can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/LuIbv9JWhIE/v-deo.html
Just wish Jon made it into the 21st century sad cuz he died too young same for Patrick
VET!!!
fans would have to wait another 10 years or so and Dr Who would make its triumphant return bigger than ever.
Well yes and.no as.the doctor who film appeared just 3 year's after this. Sadly didn't go to series and maybe for the best as wasn't quite right but paul mcgann was brilliant and actually would have done the new series if asked.
@@philfitnesspt6139 his cameo in the Matt Smith series was fantastic too bad it was online only.
I'm interested in the Dr. Who phenomenon from the outside but never really got into the series. More a Star Trek guy.
It's ok (I'm kinda getting into Star Trek but don't know where to start if u can help me with that) but as a Sane Whovian I can tell u nowadays, doctor who is now being fixed after all the wacky and boring things happened from 2017-Today
But yeah don't enter the fandom is pretty divided like some parts are very toxic and a few are very sane like me
@@gremnlinloquillo3310 I'd start with the Next Generation but it famously takes a couple of seasons to get into its stride. Then I'd go to Voyager. But that's just me!
@@maolsheachlannoceallaigh4772 thx I will take it into consideration
Ian Levine (no longer a) dr who fan
They absolutely should have done a 7 Doctors special in 1993.....like "The Five Doctors" ten years earlier. Seriously.... what a wasted opportunity.
Ah - Ian Levine, Andrew Beech and Steve Wickham demonstrating exactly WHY the BBC didn't make Doctor Who for 16 years...
You could count the number of times they had sex with a real woman on the hands of a double amputee.
As soon as I saw they were interviewing "fans" I knew Levine would be around somewhere. He's like that smell you just can't get rid of.
They mixed up the credits for Beech and Wickham.
@@robalexander8065 didn't they though!!!!!
😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 lmfao
Ended for me when Tom Baker left
😂😂 you have your head so deep in the sand it’s sad
@@Budbrothers420Not really. It's okay for people to voice criticism on something they don't like. I still loved the show after Tom Baker left, but if someone else feels differently then that's 100% valid.
@@HOTD108_ idk like i was crushed when David tennant left I just starting secondary school but I didn’t leave the show or say it ended when my doctor left. Just sorta sad when people can’t get past the favourite doctor and of course the best 😂 being the one they grew up with
Still better then the chibnall era
Cat plop is better than the chubnurd era
Oh if only Andi knew.....................................
When Dr WHO ENDED IT WAS A SHAME BUT REALLY IT WAS GETTING STUPID AND PANTOMINE
Who doesn't place Colin Baker at the bottom of popularity lists?
Anyone who's seen Whittaker.
If only they could know how bad Dr. Who has gotten in 2023 😂
Who would if thought a masterpiece like WHO could run for so long to finally end up as the dumpster fire it is today?
It’s not a dumpster fire, you’re just entitled.
@@tokublwhovian
@@OzBaxter You think because I made this account a few months back - I work for the BBC? 😂 I’d never work for them. Especially, when they’re known for covering up for pedophiles and being transphobic.
I know it’s criminal how it has been destroyed and set to get worse
@@David-uf8ex Criminal? 😂 it’s just a TV show, it’s not that deep. Move onto something else. I know I will, if I don’t enjoy RTD’s second era.
little did we know the damage the BBC would do to the show if it came back
From the Capaldi era on, Dr Who has been an embarassment. Chibnall should be in jail.
The current shite that we have to put up with has made me change my mind entirely with the Capaldi era. That says it all really, I'm not sure it can be saved even with the return of RTD.
@@jezzaus2124 The Capaldi era was ruined by politics, and it peaked during his disgraceful regeneration story. Why did he agree to go along with it?
@@lighthousexiii2391 The show has always touched on politics. See: the Pertwee era and RTD’s first.
Also, saying “Chibnall should be in jail” that’s too far. It’s just a fictional show for children. Calm down.
@@tokublwhovian There is a difference between the politics of the Pertwee / Baker era, and the crude 'social justice' propaganda of Chibnall onwards.
As far as I'm concerned Dr Who was ALWAYS IN THE WILDERNESS. total crap.
