I've got all of there stories that are complete, which is depressingly few, especially for Patrick Troughton.But for the stories that still partially exist, they have started animating the missing episodes. They have released two of those already, which are really well done, with more coming in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it in my local newsagents occasionally but haven't had time to look through it yet.Yeah, I get the Doctor Who Magazine every month. It's a great magazine for behind the scenes on the show, and interviews with with just about everyone. The best thing about it is the balance between the eras it covers. It's not just for the new stuff. There are always articles and interviews stretching right back to the 60's, right up to present day. One recent highlight was a newly discovered interview with Jon Pertwee, from shortly before his death. He was candid about his life, from standing up to bullies as a child in a strict boarding school, to accounts of his time in WW2, you could see all the things that he put into his Doctor. It was quite an emotional read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Only a thought: Remember the days of Tom Baker? He stayed for 7 years. Why can't that happen now? If the dude stayed put for long enough, we wouldn't be running out of regenerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dude stayed put for long enough, we wouldn't be running out of regenerations. A big part of that today is playing The Doctor makes that person so well known that they end up getting a lot of offers to do other acting projects. I'm sure David Tennant and Matt Smith would've loved to stay longer but a role like this makes them more in demand then ever before and after awhile they just want to go on and do other things. They will always be remembered as The Doctor no matter what else they go on to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Jon, I had no idea the recently deceased Bill Pertwee (warden in Dad's Army) was related to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Speaking of Jon, I had no idea the recently deceased Bill Pertwee (warden in Dad's Army) was related to him. Talented family.Not only that, but the part of Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army was originally written for Jon Pertwee to play (due to his part in The Navy Lark radio series), but Jon Pertwee had just begun a successful run on stage, so couldn't take the part.However, he didn't regret his decision not to do it, saying he didn't think he could have done the part as well as Arthur Lowe did...and if he did play Mainwaring, he would have been unavailable to play the Doctor laterThings would have turned out very differently.

This is very fascinating - I had no idea that Captain Mainwaring could've been played by Jon Pertwee. Imagine him playing alongside his cousin Bill..! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
