    He's as eccentric as any of them are, but not really massively. I saw him play the Doctor live in London at the end of last year, that was good fun.

    Generally, his Doctor is the most Zen-like of all of them (whereas I think Davison's is possibly the most neurotic). I'm thinking more of the outlier audio productions where he's allowed to cut loose and be really zany, like Zagreus, Caerdroia, and some of the Time War stories.

    I would love to see McGann playing the Doctor live. That must've been a treat.

    McGann's performance in The Night of The Doctor short is better than the entire run of a few actors who played the Doctor.

    Agreed. He's terrific in it.

    Brosnan in Remington Steele does remind me a little of Davison, from what I've seen (I haven't actually seen much of either show).

    I wonder if Craig could've done it. Benoit Blanc is a rather eccentric and quirky character.

    Interesting thought, I can’t quite imagine it but yeah, I’m sure he could.

    Yeah it was loads of fun, they made a Big Finish story live on stage. He did it in costume of course.

    He would have made a brilliant Doctor, i'm sure. A fine actor, respected, with a wonderfully eccentric character.

    All four main actors from Withnail and I would have been great Doctors.

    Paul McGann, Richard E Grant and Richard Griffiths. Who ( :-bd ) am I forgetting?

    Ah, I wouldn't have thought of him to be honest. I wasn't sure if the 4th person was Michael Elphick, but everything I have seen him in, he's been a nasty piece of work, so not very Doctor-ish.

    Yes it was ace! Really enjoyed that. I'm not going to say it was one of the best eps ever or anything, but I was completely entertained and left satisfied.

    Also, to my surprise, some of my artwork was in it! I've been in Doctor Who!
