dwarfbabe Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 hey who guest:) I was sure Paul McGann was 8? I think you'll find he's a little bit older than that. Anyway, back on topic. Met Sylvester a few years ago in MK and he was lovely, really friendly, chatty and funny. Good guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 At last! Awesome. Eighth if you count Peter Cushing. But no one does, so yeah, Seventh. If we count Cushing we have to count Trevor Martin... so Ninth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyMichaels Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) I think you'll find he's a little bit older than that. I can't believe I missed that. If we count Cushing we have to count Trevor Martin... so Ninth. Nah. Martin was playing the same Doctor that Pertwee did just like Roger Moore played the same guy Sean Connery did. A different actor, but the same part. Edited May 24, 2010 by MartyMichaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Actually he's playing an alternative 4th Doctor - they say in the play that he regenerated into Martin from Pertwee, before Baker officially began his tenure, so he is a different Doc. Richard Hurdnall we can ignore... like you say another actor playing the same character. But that's not what Martin is doing.

There's gotta be some sort of alternative timeline sort of thing we can use to explain this. A thousand points to anyone who gets the movie reference.

There's gotta be some sort of alternative timeline sort of thing we can use to explain this. I think the Gallifrey Chronicles book (the last EDA) also mentions the three 9th Doctors. Being of course Rowan Atkinson (Curse of Fatal Death), Richard E. Grant (Scream Of The Shalka) and Chris Eccleston (Season 27) So timelines are flying around all over the place. Personally I think that the Richard E. Grant 9th Doctor was the Doctor in a world where the Time War never happened - Eight never had to fight in it and thus didn't change into Eccles-Cake. Later on he regenerated into Richard E. Grant. When the Time War started, the Daleks changed history and the Shalka Doctor was wiped from time - replaced by Eccles 9. Rowan Atkinson we can ignore, cause it was a spoof. Edited May 24, 2010 by Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I thought it was common knowledge that Cushing was like the Bond actors too, was cast for the movie as he was a bigger name than Hartnell but was essentially playing the 1st Doctor? Anyway, great guest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. In the film he describes himself as a human scientist who invented the TARDIS and is actually called Dr. Who. As in "Who" is his surname.

Anyway, great guest! Nope, Cushing plays a human inventor called Dr. Who who builds T.A.R.D.I.S and stars in remakes of two classic serials. One book attempts to make it 'sort-of-canon' by saying it was a heavily altered film made based on the memoirs of the First Doctors companion, Barbara... which I kind of like.

There's also a theory that he actually is a Time Lord and is *the* Doctor but he's either gone a bit potty (nothing a good regeneration can't cure) or is simply lying about his identity. Whatever the case, it was the Cushing movies that introduced me to Dr. Who and I'll always love them for that.

I really think that either "Alternate Universe" or "It's a movie based on Barbaras memoirs" is the easiest way to look at it. Still, good fun movies.
