Doctor Who: Time Crash (Children In Need Special!)

[Pip Madeley]

From OG:

Seventh Doctor Actor Sylvester McCoy released a possible spoiler at the Day With A Doctor event in Auckland, New Zealand. There has been no Official Announcement of this from the BBC.

McCoy claimed that Fifth Doctor Peter Davison is due to return for Series 4 in a Multi-Doctor episode.

Could it be true?

[Milky Tears]

OG REPLY MODE..

This news sucks. He's not my favorite Doctor. Why can't it be McGann or Ecclestone? I'd rather have a Time War story!

If the Davidson news is true, I hope they bring back Peri as well. Nyssa is too old and Tegan/Adric/Turlough too annoying.

[Zbigniev Hamson]

I'm not sure if black boxie spoiler things are required in a spoiler thread, but just in case....

They JUST about got away with it for the Five Doctors, but Davison is very noticeably older than he was, and has about 10% of the hair he had, so how could this possibly work? Unless they do some sort of Dark Dimension alternate version or something. Anyway I'd probably love it and hate it at the same time

[Darren]

Coo.

I think it would only work if they do it in an alternate reality where the Doctor didn't regenerate after leaving Androzani Minor.

We've had Two, Three & Five Doctor stories, so we could have The Four Doctors with Tennant, Eccleston, Mcgann & McCoy.

[Dirk Gently]

If true then I bloody hope they come up with a better title than The '2,3,4,' Doctors.

[WhiteCrow]

Do you think doing another Doctor will be this years attempt to fill a "Doctor lite" Love&Monsters/Blink episode?

[Larry]

been some wild rumours but this one seems a load of rubbish the only logical Doctor for a multi Doctor story is Paul Mcgan.

Why? Pertwee and Troughton looked older in the 80s specials, but they appeared...

[Paul Hayes]

Well today The Sun is reporting it's for a Children in Need special to be written by Moffat.

Could be fun.

[Pip Madeley]

Makes a lot of sense to me, I could really see it happening

[Milky Tears]

Why do Who fans always have to be sooo anal/logical?

What's all this w*nk about DaviDson looking too old and "only EcclestonE or MAcGann could still convince as ex-Doctors?? (see clowns on Roobarb's/OG)

All it takes is one pissy little line explaining why the Fifth Doctor now looks like a fat old tosser:


SUN STORY PAUL MENTIONED EARLIER

[Perry Vale]

When did McGann play Doctor Who then? I must have blinked.



This is of course great news, and even more interesting is how Peter Jackson knew?

[Philipnet]

Doctor Who will meet himself in a one-off special for the BBC's Children In Need, the Sun reports.

Peter Davison, who occupied the Tardis from 1982-4 as Doc number five, will appear in the Stephen Moffat-penned episode on 16 November.

An insider told the Sun: "The Doctor is forever travelling though time so there's no reason why he couldn't catch up with a former incarnation. Peter was top of the writer's list to make a comeback."

Beeb bosses are reportedly "tight-lipped" about the storyline, and there is as yet no official confirmation from the corporation

would you be saying the same thing if it were Colin Baker..

[Milky Tears]

LINK CONTAINS SPOILERS!
"Doctor Who Exclusive!!!! Davison In "Too Wide" Shocker!!!!!!!!!!

[Andrew Curnow]

Does that mean McCoy's white jacket, or what? And surely somebody would have twigged long before now that Peter's not quite as sveldt at 55 as he was at 29.

[Lissa]

So the BBC can't afford to make new clothes any more?

I knew my licence fee was being spent on hookers, gin and misleading the public.

just as well they did not ask Colin Baker, to try on his old out fit.

[Pip Madeley]

I hope Davison's not in McCoy's complete costume, that'd just be plain weird.

[Dirk Gently]

I can't get the link to work.

[Pip Madeley]

Working here...

FORMER Doctor Who Peter Davison had to wear Sylvester McCoy’s TV outfit to film a spoof show – as he’s too tubby to fit into his original costume.

Peter, 56 – a slim 30-something when he played the Time Lord from 1981 to 1984 – is reprising his role for a Children In Need special. An insider said: “Peter’s not exactly a fatty, but he’s filled out a bit after 20 years.”

Fortunately the outfit worn by Sylvester fitted. Peter and current Doctor David Tennant join forces on the show on November 19.

I don't believe it really, Peter Davison's taller than Sylvester McCoy so he'd be too broad to fit his outfit?

[Andrew Curnow]

Too broad and too deep, in fact.

exactly what I was thinking - the trousers would certainly be to short as well/.

[P-Bal]

I hope he's dressed like Sarah-Jane from The Five Doctors.

[Simon R]

Peter Davison trying to squeeze himself into Sylvester McCoy.

What a delightful image that is.
