Eggcellent random daily facts

[Randall]

Tom Baker was the 4th doctor who from 1974-1980
He refused to appear in the 5 doctors
A wax model was used for promotional stills and extracts from the unbroadcast shada were used in the special
I'm led to believe he did appear again in some of the reboot nonesense

I prefer the wax model.

He indeed appears in the 50th anniversary special in a scene with Matt Smith. I have it from a good source that Colin Baker flounced out of the viewing when McCoy told him that Tom would be making an appearance in it. Colin is a bit touchy about a lot of things, it seems.

He got treated pretty poorly in 86

Peter Davison played the 5th doctor who from 1981-1984 having been told by pat troughton not to do more than 3 seasons
I believe he has returned in recent years and has done lots of audio dramas

His daughter married David Tennant: Georgia Moffett, which is Davison's real surname. The 10th Doctor is the 5th Doctor's son-in-law.

She appeared in one episode of Doctor Who.

Ecclestone was a good Doctor Who, I saw a bit of Tennant then stopped watching.

Yes, more Eccles. He has said some quite cryptic things about his abrupt departure. He's said he wasn't well at the time but also mentioned a 'toxic environment'.

The recent allegations against Noel Clarke makes one wonder. Seems like some people on that show were seriously out of control.

And as if by magic...

The BBC has said it is "shocked" to hear allegations by several women that actor Noel Clarke sexually harassed them on the set of Doctor Who.

Mr Clarke played Mickey Smith in the BBC drama from 2005 to 2010.

The Guardian has quoted five women, including an unnamed actress, who it says have claimed that he touched them inappropriately or made sexual remarks.

He denied all the claims. He has previously "vehemently" denied sexual misconduct or criminal wrongdoing.

He was in a Jonathan Creek too.

I've still not really got much involved with CB's episodes. I may get the Trial boxset eventually.

Other than peri trial is more or less unwatchable
Whoever thought colin and bonnie Langford were a good idea should be shot

I can tolerate all old Doctor Who very well as a bit of fun. Having said that, there's a serial with McCoy and Richard Briers that was just absolutely disgraceful. Paradise Towers?

I have no interest in it at all, so will be relieved.

I never quite know how to feel about that movie. Curiously watchable but I do think I hate it.

McGann made one short appearance in the new series too.

Its pretty wretched
Nothing at all like who

Why would it be like original Who? That show is about a hundred years old. You get bogged down in comparing the two. I just don't think there's any reason to.
