Eighth Doctor Vs Fourth Doctor : In Which Story Is The Brain Of Morbius Shown?

The doctor and sarah find themselves (apparently) back on earth, in the village of devesham, not far from a unit base. this serial, in fact, marked the last occasion on which unit was to feature during tom baker's tenure as the doctor and the last appearance of sergeant benton. ian marter made a one-off guest appearance as harry sullivan, who had been one of the doctor's companions during the previous season.

"doctor who: paul mcgann regenerates into john hurt in the night of the doctor, a new 6 minute 49 second prequel film". radiotimes.com. retrieved 14 november 2013.

The span from the premiere of the twin dilemma to his regeneration in the brink of death was approximately 31 years. paul mcgann was notionally the longest-serving incumbent in the role, as he debuted in may 1996 and christopher eccleston's premiere didn't happen until march 2005. being very generous, therefore, mcgann was the "current doctor" for a total of 8 years and 10 months.

This past series has unbelievable. i had only seen christopher eccleston in two other features (those being "existenz and 28 days later") and he really made the ninth doctor his own. the only thing that really agitated me off about this series however, was the fact that there was no regeneration scene from paul mcgann to christopher eccleston.

For the reviewer who said that the webisode would be incomprehensible to modern fans, i'm not even a fan and i found it comprehensible. all you really need to know to appreciate it is that paul mcgann was the eighth doctor but only appeared in a tv movie back in 1996.because it's been seventeen years, he's made enough of a physical change for him to look as if he's been hardened or wisened by events. mcgann gets a much better change to acquit himself and remind everybody that he's a very good actor.

In 2014, tom baker turned 80 and continued to record new performances as the doctor for big finish productions' fourth doctor adventures audio dramas, making him the oldest actor to play the part in an officially licensed capacity. peter davison, colin baker, sylvester mccoy and paul mcgann, all in their sixties or seventies, also continue to portray the doctor in licensed audio dramas produced by big finish, with mcgann also appearing in audio dramas produced by big finish and bbc radio for broadcast on bbc7 radio. in the 2000s and 2010s, tom baker also portrayed the doctor in audiogo's hornets' nest, demon quest and serpent crest audio dramas.

Then we had patrick troughton, described as a 'cosmic hobo' he brought more humour into the series, and made it different enough and yet the same enough to work, following on from his predecessor william hartnell. the jon pertwee era was excellent, and was the time when the show's popularity increased even further. then came the longest running doctor ever, the fourth doctor tom baker, whose wit and humour entertained audiences across the globe for 7 years.

It is quite possible that on their planet (as in some earthly societies) promotions are made on the basis of social status rather than age, experience or ability. together with jon pertwee's third doctor, tom baker's fourth doctor was the incarnation with whom i was most familiar during my childhood. both played the character as an eccentric english gentleman, but pertwee (perhaps taking his cue from peter cushing's "unofficial" doctor of the two spin-off feature films from the mid-sixties) stresses his gentlemanliness, whereas baker places greater stress on his eccentricity, possibly influenced by patrick troughton's second doctor.
