Eccleston should definately had stayed on for another season.  Such a pity he left when he did.



But his final story was a good one though, and a fitting way for the doctor to re-generate.



He could easily come back to help the current Doc in a future story though.



I would probably put his last story on a par with 'Caves of Androzani' as being one of the best 'last doctor' stories.

Each of the Doctor's last stories were phenomenal (with the exception of "The War Games" - yawn, snore, zzzzzzzz!!!!)

Remember "Planet of the Spiders"? "Logopolis"? Classics!!!!



I agree with Clip, too.  Still, the actor has to do what the director says, and they had to make a Doctor who would break the classic series stereotype. But I have no doubt that Eccleston didn't have his heart in the show. He certainly wasn't a fan (he says it himself in the interviews) - and he didn't want to be remembered for being the Dcotor. I'd rate the chances of him coming back as very low - but McGann to feature in a more than one Doctor story - well, that could be likely, but it's up to Russell T Davies, isn't it?

Perhaps they should have just had McGann return as the Doctor in the new series instead of Eccleston?



Or at the very least, appear in the first story to re-generate.  There was plenty of room to re-start McGann's doctor from scratch, with an actor who was eager to return (for one story at least).



They could have just written off the 1996 telemovie as a dream and had McCoy return for the first story - or would have that been too silly even by Dr Who standards??

Yes thankyou go McGann!!!! No Eccleston!

I just think it's such a shame that McGann's Dr was wasted like that.



It's a pity also that they didn't make that 30th Anniversary story either - 'The Dark Dimension'  Sounded reasonably interesting.

Mc Gann was wasted - and that IS a shame



He was a terirific rendition of the Doctor and the way the BBC treated him was the way they should have treated that sod Turner!!!!

Then again, they gave C Baker the shaft when it wasn't his fault, it was JN bloody T's!!!! > So it should be no surprise that they do the same indecency to Mc Gann.



They SHOULD have shown the Mc Gann to Eccleston regenration, but as I've said in the 'Confusion' forum tonight, they (Russell T Davies and Dr Who Magazine) treat the 21st century series as the first series of Dr Who - literally.

so the question is was it eccleston or mcgann who fought in the time was or mayby both. (or neither).

Possibly Mc Gann, causing him to regenerate into Eccleston?
