Even way back in the days when I started posting on sites like DW2005 & Logopolis Metropolis (anyone remember them?) I've fond memories of many a thread with Steve/Perry (I hope you've no complaints with being compared to the former Journey vocalist!) and Rob Filth keeping us entertained with their ever so slightly differing opinions...
Many happy memories of all the fallouts, Baysan Tulu and 'Bentongate' Ralph's finest hour
And iirc even Stephen Morgan joined up there for a time with the user name 'Noodles'
If it wasn't for those sites, I'd never have came across Wayne, Ralph, Duncan, Logo and all the others who eventually led me here

I thought I felt my ears burning....
Mostly that it ruined the best cliffhanger the show has ever had (from 'The Name Of'), in something that felt to me like one of the CIN sketches. Aside from that, it was poorly acted with a dull cast. I won't comment on if it looked cheap, as I watched the thing on YouTube. I just couldn't see the point of it, really.
Moffat writes better dialogue for McGann than he got in the TVM though.
As for any canon debates, from my view, McGann became an eighth Doctor when sketched in Human Nature. Until the TVM is directly mentioned in the tv series, it's still off bounds.
I had almost forgotten! Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it used to be fun, in strange sort sort of way, debating with Rob.“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” - Gutle Schnaper Rothschild

There are already at least two petitions out there going now, wanting a full season of it. And I'm almost tempted to even use my despised Facebook to log on and sign it, I'm that behind the idea.
Though my preference would be a Moffat / Gaiman co written cinema movie, directed by self confessed Whovian Peter Jackson.

When people want a full season of 'it' what do they really want? Do they just mean a full season with McGann? Crikey, we've wanted that for nearly 20 years, I don't think we're going to get one now!

Although I don't agree with Steve/Perry, I don't think I'd want to see more of it really. It makes clear exactly 'who' the John Hurt character is, which seems an interesting move - but then, assuming the special isn't really about the mystery of his identity, that uncertainty has probably run its course now, so why not reveal it now?
Lovely to see McGann back in action, and the short has reinforced the notion (from End of Time) that the Time Lords were as bad as the Daleks during the war. But really, I'm not sure there's much more it needed to do, nor much else it could do without actually being an episode itself as opposed to a 'non-essential extra'.

According to Gallifrey Base:
"Earlier today there was a meeting held with lots of very important BBC Worldwide people to discuss the hugely positive and unexpected response from Night of the Doctor. I think it genuinely took everyone by surprise. It was mainly to discuss what options there are going forward with this, creatively. More web exclusives, a dvd, a special, I don't know exactly, with McGann or possibly other Doctors."

The 8th Doctor Chronicles would be good.
There's a petition to sign, if you want the BBC to make a series for Paul...

The BBC didn't expect a huge response to Paul McGann returning to the part and regenerating?
They really don't get it at all beyond the Ł signs do they!!A pot of coffee, 12 jammie dodgers and a fez...

At the risk of being a bit thick... what on earth would they discuss? Surely the reason 'we' are all so excited was the presence of McGann in the 'web-episode'. Nobody's crying out for more web exclusive episodes are they, it was the surprise content of this one which has got the excitement going... but short of sacking Capaldi and hiring McGann instead, I'm not sure there's much they can do with it. And TBH with the 'big surprise' element removed from it, I'm not sure I'd be all that thrilled about five minute webepisodes of Paul McGann every few months.
But Steve has got it spot on!!

Surely though, with the lack of spin-offs around just now there could be room for one more? How about Doctor Who - The Missing Adventures (not a very original title but importantly it would clearly show that this wasn't the adventures of the current guy) possibly in the old series/SJA format of 25 minute episodes? I can just imagine Moffat trying to be the first guy who managed to produce two seperate series of Doctor Who at the same time, with two different actors in the role! And I'd imagine that Capaldi would be as interested as the rest of us to see the results...

I'm assuming then that all those of you who say "It's done. We've seen it and there's no need for more McGann", don't buy past Doctors novels, or don't listen to Big Finish or the like?
There's plenty of scope for more McGann. Missing adventures perhaps? A Time War mini series perhaps? Even that excellent Eighth Doctor amnesia arc from the BBC novels would be great for adaptation. With no Torchwood and no SJA in the schedules, there's certainly space for some.

Someone suggested doing next year's Doctor lite episode with McGann as a flashback. Something like Blink would work with McGann and Sheridan Smith instead of Sparrow and Nightingale having to aid the current Doctor stranded in another time.
