Considering how very active Jon Pertwee was with public appearances around this time and into the 90s promoting the show a Two Doctors type story involving Jon Pertwee guest starring with Sylvester McCoy in season 26 would have been ideal.
Actually I prefer this line of logic. I don't like how for a lot of fans today each regeneration tends to be viewed as a different Doctor. There is only one Doctor who just happens to look a little different from time to time, but there is only one Doctor.

timrob12 if I could get a crossover with two Doctors I'd like to see these two (I know Pertwee's dead). McCoy is so manipulative and never violent but Pertwee primarily uses violence
I agree with Sophie, as getting to work on DR WHO (SURVIVAL) 1989, was amazing, I loved working with her & Sylvester, Julian Holloway, Anthony Ainley, Will Barton , Lisa Bowerman, and others in the cast, and a great crew, it is such an iconic Series, I watched since the mid 60's, and it is as Sophie said, hard to believe we are a part of it's history, I have worked on lots of TV & Film Productions over many years, but Dr WHO will always be one of my personal favourite Acting jobs.
That was sweet of Sophie Aldred to reference and agree with what the superfan wearing the Tom Baker scarf had said previously. You could tell from his beaming smile that that made his year.

It’s always intrigued me how the public perception of various monsters has changed between the classic era and the modern era. It seems like back then the master was seen as an integral part of the show and the Ice Warriors were seen as being on the same level as the Daleks and Cybermen
He was talking about the planned theatrical film from Daltenrays/Coast to Coast/Green Light Productions, a company set up by Peter Litten and George Dugdale to produce a Dr Who film. They held the film rights from 1987 - 1994, when their licence expired as they still hadn't started principal photography. As with any film that spends years in development hell numerous names were tied to it from Leonard Nimoy as a 2nd unit director to Donald Sutherland being a preferred actor to play The Doctor. The 1996 TV movie was a completely separate project driven by UK expat Phil Segal who had spent years trying to get a US TV series of Dr Who off the ground, but ended up only being able to get a commission for a single movie of the week from Fox.
Mainly because the BBC heads at the time didn't like it. The show was doing fine until they tried to cancel it during Colin's era. Then when the fans demanded they bring it back and the BBC did so, the BBC decided to start meddling with it as well as changing its timeslot. It still took 4 years before ratings got low enough to justify cancelling it.
Honestly I've been thinking on that myself. It would have helped strengthen the story rather than be fan service because of such an interesting concept of it being 3 and 7 and where 7 was going on his character arc - something that could make 3 rather wary of his future. Plus I can see the Third Doctor teaching Ace some Venusian aikido to defend herself and it playing a part when concerned by a Neo-Nazi. And when Ace mentions that for the first time in travelling with the Doctor, she's scared, the Third Doctor can say his well known "Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened..." speech before 7 finishes it to help comfort and motivate Ace to stay strong. Great thing about this interview is that it really makes those relationships between the three characters a reality which I interpreted in my imagination for how it would be if Silver Nemesis was a 7 & 3 multi-Doctor Story.
I don't remember this, I was probably working and no one told me it was on or I didn't record it on the vid. This is the kind of stuff I'd record back in the day
Sylvester mcocoy is my sixth favourite doctor who and ace is my third favourite doctor who companie I have got time and the Rani and remembers of the daleks and the greatest show in the galaxy and the happiness portal on dvd

I bought 2 multicoloured scarves a couple of years back and now have them stitched together.....the joined up scarf is about 12 and a half feet long. I wear it at work in the winter....it is a great talking point. I'm surprised no one has called me Doctor yet
It just shows how different departments of the Beeb dealt with DW in the late '80's, and then during the Wilderness years, even if it was BBC Pebble Mill, you would hope that if someone told the prop people, we are going to have the Tardis in the studio, the sound and graphics teams would say, yeah no probs, we will make it appear and disappear just like in the show and we'll have a split screen to sell the illusion, but then what do they do, leave quietly and the light didn't flash, and she's popping her head out the door as it fades away, talk about ruining the suspension of disbelief. I can't help but recall the first three tapes in the Years series, Hartnell hosted by Sylvester, who appears Tardis like then Troughton and Pertwee hosted by Jon, also landing like a Tardis, I can see why they didn't for Tom Baker, Colin Baker and Daleks and Cybermen the Early Years, as it would be a bit odd, but for a short time, it was a little bit of fun and a handy transition from the theme music too. Shows like Daytime or Open Air look like they just weren't going to play along.
I think that after leaving the role,, only his hair ever changed and the rest of him stayed as it did in 1974 up until he left in the TARDIS for the final time in 1996.
The difference between Old and New Who, by and large, is that as the presenter mentions, the old series had clear problems with budget constraints, but often very very good characters, character development, interesting ideas, dialogue and storylines. You can overlook the cheap sets to appreciate those things. The new series often (and particularly lately) has phenomenally good production value, but nonsensical plots, poorly written or unlikeable characters, and worthless, prattling banter dialogue. Style over substance.
By this point (1988) Doctor Who had a lot of ups and downs with the stories, especially over the course of the 6th Doctor's run. I think they were starting to really settle into a good groove with Ace and the 7th Doctor, perhaps the best since the 4th Doctor and Romana II*, but the honchos at BBC were pretty determined to be done with the series. * I'm not suggesting that they would be as good as Tom Baker and Lalla Ward, just the best pairing since them.
@@ccthornley That was why I said "by and large". The old series occasionally has lulls and honkers, the new series occasionally has peaks and great episodes.

There is not much difference between garishly coloured question marks and ridiculously sized frills with a red lined cape. Yes 80s Docs had sillier costumes than Doctors 1, 2 and 4, but 3 really can't make the claim his was more subdued. And honestly, the stories in the Pertwee years were also a lot sillier and more ridiculous than what you got in certainly the McCoy years (minus S24) as well. I'd argue most of the 80s was more 'serious' than a majority of Pertwee's post Season 7 stories.
@@frankshailes3205 I understand. I know what VHS looks like, but, it says 240p for the UA-cam resolution which is very low. I don't know what the original transfer resolution was, but, 360 or old-time tv res of 480 might have helped.
Audience member asks McCoy a question and Pertwee blatantly answers for him. Despite the outpouring of affection here, I often felt Pertwee could be arrogant and a bit self important.
"Let's have a bit of fun and do what we can with a shilling."
-J. Pertwee
Possibly the best summary of Doctor Who I've ever heard. 😄
That sounds like two Victorian guys looking for a prostitute !
I love how Pertwee and McCoy were smacking each other, and everyone's in costume.
Rob Adams just like Troughton

Imagine Classic Doctor Who never ended & we got a McCoy & Pertwee episode in the early 90s.
Its funny because even though Pertwee and McCoy's doctors are so different I can totally see them in their own multi doctor story.
Both Pertwee and McCoy started in music hall.
A comedy duo of Pertwee and McCoy. That would have been a great team.
If the show hadn't been cancelled we might have got one before Jon died.
Jon Pertwee was and always will be the brainbox & Action-Man of Dr Who. Nothing can top his performance on the Dr role. RIP Legend.
Apart from Tom Baker, Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison, McCoy, Smith etc etc etc
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 But put them all in a fight and I'd back Jon with his Venusian Karate anytime. :P
I just realised that Pertwee and McCoy could be in the same TARDIS in the same way that Tennant and Davison were in "Time Crash".

You know, one of these days there will be a doctor who interview where the interviewer has watched the show before
Jon pertwee always the gentleman RIP
Sweet, it's me!
hope you're having fun in heaven bud
I met Jon in 1993. He signed me his autograph.
Mr Pertwee, kindly return to your grave. You're scaring the whippets.
Hey Jon when will you return to dr who. U are my faveorite dr and I like the scarecrow to. I’m 8 years old today. Thank you John

"kids nowadays like movies like star wars..."
It's the same now in 2016

LOL at 10:45 "In the not too distant future there's going to be a multi million pound movie..." 29 years later and we're still waiting on that one!
I know right.
I think he was talking about the unofficial 1996 movie.
But we still haven't got the movie Sylvester described. All we got was a low-budget TV movie.
Jero Briggs, well what he described was what he would've liked to see for that movie. I don't think anything was planned for that.

8:33 Ha, Pertwee still hates the Daleks
Jon and Sylvester be waking out like siblings at an event
Ah, the good old years. Take me back there.
When we thought a cut from 26 episodes per year to 14 was a terrible loss!
Jon Pertwee (1919) could be Sylvester Mccoy's (1943) dad.Father and son doctors.
Only if Pertwee went to Paisley but he was rather busy in the war at the time...
Jon Pertwee was one of the coolest people to ever live 😎
This makes me want a 3rd and 7th doctor multi doctor story now
Interesting question at about 10:45, McCoy was in the 1996 movies as well as Mcgann.
Great video. I remember watching it when it was first broadcast. Thanks for posting it.
Little did they know that there would be no Doctor Who in a year's time from this!
And Dr Who was cancelled a year after this aired.

Im crying my eyes out this is so goodd
When the two were rustling together in the TARDIS you can see the prop unsteadily shaking... OCD
The Daleks would run away screaming from these two doctors if they were together
In search of rice pudding. 🍚
Jon should have been in a story for the 25th anniversary. Maybe written into Silver Nemesis. The 3rd and 7th facing the Cybermen and Lady Peinforte.
Honestly I've been thinking on that myself. It would have helped strengthen the story rather than be fan service because of such an interesting concept of it being 3 and 7 and where 7 was going on his character arc - something that could make 3 rather wary of his future.

Jon is so lovely
8:30 Jon's famous dislike of the Daleks coming out.
I would have loved if for the 25th anniversary we had gotten Jon Pertwee back, with a dynamic between Pertwee and McCoy
Even this show manages not to fade the TARDIS in and out to the materialisation sound.
I don't remember this, I was probably working and no one told me it was on or I didn't record it on the vid. This is the kind of stuff I'd record back in the day
