i love how paul and sophie look so pro and used to it all while mccoy and baker are just chilling with crocs on lol

[@JamesWho1]

Like Family we love them but they will sort themselves out 🤣😂

[@Rachaelinwonderland998]

I love how Paul treats Colin and Sylvester like they’re his mad uncles 😂

[@drwhotvwam]

Sophies impression of Jodi Whitaker was brilliant 😊

[@John_Doe4269]

The fact that Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker seem like such good friends every time they appear together for things like this is probably my entire favourite thing about the show. They're so good to us, to the community and the fans, and I just feel so lucky to be able to watch them all have fun with these things.

[@MrSKB69]

These guys were brill n Sylvester and Colin were just a comedy duo 🤣🤣🤣

[@sharonway4211]

Their banter was great

[@kuragari85]

you could just put those two on a stage and it would be hillarious

[@alexfletcher5192]

As a Brit, it is impossible to overestimate the influence of Bernard Cribbins on British culture. He was our comedy, our childhood and our cuddly uncle.

[@OzBaxter]

Back in the 70's and 80's, Patrick Troughton (2nd Doctor) and Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor) had a professional/personal/fun rivalry where they would always argue like their Doctors whenever they were around each other. It's awesome that Colin (6th) and Sylvester (7th) continued that act over the decades, with David (10) and Matt (11) having similar public chemistry. Great Doctor Who traditions.

[@MrPonytron]

Sylvester and Colin are so funny! Their dynamic is amazing 😂 Here's hoping their Doctors meet up again in another Big Finish story

[@brandothefish]

Love these people! I still dream about an 8th doctor series run happening. They could still do it, Paul looks great! But alas it's just a dream. At least we have the audio dramas!

[@Swenglish]

There's a rumor that something involving the 8th might be in development. It could go either way, and who knows what it might end up being, but there's an unspecified degree of hope for more 8 on screen.

[@nigelmathewsnrm]

Six and seven remind me of two and three at conventions of old, who doesn't love it when even The Doc does not always get along with himself ;)

[@johannahyde-parker8422]

that's funny

[@40GamesAG]

19:05 Wow. That was me. Doctor Who kept me going through the worst time of my life when I suffered from a severe anxiety disorder as a young teen. And when I nearly got to my breaking point, my desire to want to meet my favorite Doctor and hero (David Tennant) was one of the things that kept me from going through. (Still haven’t met him yet, but it’s extremely important to me that I do to tell him that he did help save my life.) I’m glad. Ten years on and my anxiety is but a distant bad memory. And now, I’m back into Doctor Who and 6 is now tied with 10 as my favorite Doctors thanks to Big Finish. 😁 Don’t give up. There’s always hope.

[@TheCrusader1000]

I love this line up. The energy in the room. I love they way they all play of each other. I first started watching Dr who back in 1981 when i was 5. I grew up watching Peter Davidson dr. I even had the cricket 🏏 jumper. I remember Collins and Syl drs very well. I was gutted when it got axed and ecstatic when RTD brought it back. ❤

[@Mrs_Christa]

Love how Paul went into Scottish mode for a second 😂😂

[@Chrisyork1989]

I’d watch Collin and Sylvester take the piss out of each other for years and years and it would never get old.

[@davehall7041]

Thank you for putting this online as I couldn't get to Aberdeen but I knew this panel would be brilliant and it is I love meeting all these guys

[@Punkhausen]

This lot are always a delight wherever they go. Hope to see them again in Edinburgh!

[@Mrs_Christa]

God love!!! They are so precious!!! Got to meet them last month and they were such a joy!! ❤️❤️

[@kyrauniversal]

I think that the biggest factor that makes it special is how the show itself is timeless (if you pardon the word). It never truly feels out of place in the real world, but at the same time, in the same way, it's the best form of escapism there is, for so many. Both young and old can sit down and watch the show while feeling like they're part of the adventure. It's almost like how us Americans had Knight Rider. (Basically, imagine if the TARDIS could talk the entire time, but it's a super car made from a Pontiac Firebird) That show dared to challenge issues underneath the Good Guy Beats Bad Guys persona. Issues like the loss of a loved one. PTSD. Ethics behind Artificial Intelligence. All of these things that have remained in the current era. That is what being Timeless (if you pardon the word because chibnall made me want to hurl) truly is. Something that explains how to get through different difficult situations in a way that both young and old can understand.

[@david6294]

Bad questions from the audience but thankfully the actors was great anyway. Love the banter between Sylvester and Colin

[@HOTD108_]

What didn't you like about the questions?

[@seanwade8188]

@@HOTD108_they kept asking the same questions. Like who is your favourite doctor and who is your favourite companion

[@alexfletcher5192]

I think Colin's point is enormously valid, at a time when there is so much division (largely generational) about what the character should be. We did not expect in the 1970s that Tom Baker should be the same as William Hartnell - that would have been farcical in context - and therefore the show survives by reinvention. Regeneration is not just canon, it's a device to continue the show in changed social conditions.

[@willlauzon3744]

Though they should have kept the Doctor on a one regeneration cycle. Then the show could actually end and his life has a last chapter. If they needed to they could have brought back Susan Foreman or Rhomana and had them take up the title of the Doctor. Might not have the same staying power but to be fair the new show has really run out it's welcome

[@Birdboy029]

McGann's answer about Bernard Cribbins sounded to me like they personally worked together on Who -- not just that he enjoyed watching his role as a member of the audience. Spoiler :D ?

[@dommoore6180]

They worked together on a big finish audio back in the 00s.

[@catherine906]

sylvester mccoy is so funny

[@justice_productions_]

Paul should be the 16th Doctor

[@gallifreyangel]

Brilliant I loved it colin an Sylvester are so funny

[@justice_productions_]

I love how Sylvester Remembers how terrible “Dimensions in time”was. Atleast he got to work with Leela

[@Problembeing]

Sylvester and Colin are like Waiting for Godot, only funnier. What a treasure these two are together.

[@gestaltdude]

Major props to Sophie for her impersonation of Jodie. :D I'd love to be a fly on the wall on before the conventions start, to see how everyone get along before going on stage. It must be like catching up with some really good mates (I just want "a" mate :P) a couple of times a year.

[@jotero-colon526]

big finish and the bbc could make millions if they took the audio from the dramas and animate them into full episodes.

[@maidenly_matilda]

I agree, I've listened to a lot of Big Finish and would happily go over those stories again if animated. It would be a fresh experience.

[@PigDan]

That'd be fantastic, no idea why it hasn't been done yet, aside from budget limitations. Maybe Disney could help with funding one day

[@5SSS]

I'm suprised collin didn't mention the two doctors when talking about guest stars

[@lillywaters]

makes me smile so much!

[@willlauzon3744]

Collin Baker is under rated and Silvester McCoy is under appreciated. Mggann is under utilized and Ace...... Is Ace

[@vampqueen]

I'm going to meet Paul McGann soon. I loved him in Withnail and I. I keep saying to myself. DON'T quote withnail and I at him. But it might actually slip out.

[@anaramakatova1830]

It's probably okay, he's used to it. You can't beat the Irish Prime Minister calling him "perfumed ponce".

[@HOTD108_]

21:20

[@alexfletcher5192]

I am getting old, in the sense that, over 30 years in, the fact that this domestic potboiler that used to be, alternately a must-watch for kids - and later a joke - has such a reach today. It does make you feel better about it.

[@TommyIsATwat]

Sylvester just cuddles up to Colin with his chair, is it because he's a bit shaky and might need a stay, or just good buds?

[@worldofsurspherea5187]

I could actually atch Colin and Sylvester if they did a comedy show together.

[@tpaul2112]

with a doctor who spin off universe beginning.... 8 better be getting something

[@alanpiper3711]

Who, Dr. Who! 👍

[@vestel777]

Where can I purchase the Episodes from Doctor Who on Blu-ray??? I know that there’s I think 77 Episode are still missing. I would love to purchase whatever Episodes are available here in the United States.

[@packgrog]

Damn, Colin is starting to look frail. Thankfully his mind is still strong.

[@JohnP906]

I thought so as well, appears to be the early stages of dementia

[@ban6809]

Is colin alright? He's shaking his head in an alarming manner...

[@shahani6037]

The WORST interviewer. But great cast :)
