    Booboo have I got this right?:

    John hurt is NOT the doctor, as we all know the doctor is a time lord. He chose the name ‘the doctor’ because he helps people. The incarnation of this particular time lord chose to go to war. This is not seen as helping people, which is why matt smith said ‘not in the name of the doctor’ this shows he did a sin and is not classed as ‘The Doctor’

    So on this time lord there have been twelve(thirteen include peter capaldi) different faces but only eleven(twelve including peter capaldi) are called the doctor!

    I love the movie and this but could not imagine a series in the movie style, I think it was good that it never took off because it probably would not of lasted a long as the 2005 reboot has

    I think it was a really good idea to keep his regeneration a secret until now, as more people would see it.

    I dont understand what people have against the Movie. SFX had something about Paul McGann saying it wasn’t great.
    I thought that it was great to have a Movie about him, even if he didn’t have episodes.

    I’d love them to do loads of shorts containing the 8th Doctor- and why not? They’d only have to do one now and again…and how VERY happy us die-hard whovians would be!

    Paul McGann is such an amazing actor, it would be so sad if Steven Moffat didn’t give him his own 8th Doctor spin-off series. Deffenatly going to buy the 8th Doctor audio plays by Big Finish now thier cannon with the show! 🙂

  • Derek Browell

    Yes I aggree. I didn’t like that particular Baker episode for the same reason….Too much like Harry Potter

  • Derek Browell

    November 16th, 2013 - 12:18pm

    Yes, I agree. Lets have a special…..it could provide a break for Peter C ,once he starts his run….

    November 16th, 2013 - 12:14pm

    Aggreed….Paul deserves at the very least another special.Lets get everyone on board for this.

    I think it’s safe to say that in 17 years Paul McGann hasn’t changed 🙂

    I love the costume. I think it’s time for a new series with the eighth doctor, but he needs more! It’s time he had more of an opportunity to be let out of his magical blue box again! And I’m ecstatic that he mentioned Lucy, Molly,Tamsim, and others because that makes the audio adventures link with the series!

    What a shame Paul Mcgann is not in The Day of the Doctor. He is up there with the best of them . This is a brilliant mini episode and makes you want to see more of him.

    It would be more logical to use John Hurt’s new TARDIS from the 50th, as he is between Paul and Chris.

  • fordpaul2011

    there needs to be more eighth doctor episodes,they can use the nineth/tenth doctors tardis whose to say he didn’t change it.also the new series doesn’t have to feature all the new twelth doctor,why not put in a few eighth doctor travels or film it and show it as as a spin off like the sarah jane series,THE EIGHTH DOCTOR ADVENTURES.

    We’ve GOT to have some more McGann episodes!
