Peter Davison Interview

Interview with Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor, at WhoFest4DFW.

[@IronSalamander8]

Great interview. The 5th Doctor is so underrated.

[@Touhou-forever]

I agree

[@Clavinovaman]

Yeah, he also seems a cool chap. Sincere but fun.

[@casual_bill8749]

Underrated? By who? He was Fantastic the most energetic and multidimensional of the Early doctors, I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about him.

[@gumdeo]

Five was fantastic.

[@casual_bill8749]

@@caleb7551 I didn't say he was underrated, I know what the word means. I don't think hes overhated either.

[@TheRedSkinNative]

i met this man at a convention one time when I was young truly a kind and humble man. i hope he knows even years later, me at 22 years old, he is MY doctor ... :) my favorite that is

[@fidomusic]

His finest work was in A Very Peculiar Practice. Absolutely brilliant.

[@amarokingtelly]

A Very Peculiar Practice is brilliant British telly. Love it.

[@barrywerdell2614]

He was great as Campion also. Great Campion quote: "I blame talking pictures."

[@alexlazebat839]

do you why campion stopped? because they are more books that could of been done

[@barrywerdell2614]

I do not, but I suspect it had to do with production and writing. If you view the first series and then the second you get the impression that they were trying to make Campion more comical and nerdy which in the books he was at the beginning.

[@alexfletcher5192]

He speaks the truth on scariness. The now legendary cliffhanger to Earthshock part one I first experienced from under a table at the other end of the room - so intimidated had I been by the direction, the setting, or indeed Malcolm Clarke's music. I just recall seeing my mum (my brother on the floor) throwing her hands in the air and shouting 'The Cybermen!'

[@avocadothecat]

omg I just watched that episode and you are so right. I mean I am 18 and I didn't crawl under a table but it was very good

[@tardistime6857]

His doctor had the most human to him that what I like about his doctor

[@wonjubhoy]

He had a warm personality and that's why I liked him too. I just couldn't take to Colin Baker because his doctor seemed arrogant and the opposite of Peter Davison's doctor.

[@caerdroia7530]

@@wonjubhoy listen to 6th doctor audiobooks because big finish basically fixes colin baker's doctor

[@geoffjoffy]

Nice interview. Many thanks.

[@alexfletcher5192]

At age 9 Peter was my way into this show... like an older brother, which I had... and really what he says bears fruit simply because he followed a repeats compilation in 1981 that demonstrated, hard as it may be, there was more to the show than Tom Baker. And at that time it really was hard to believe....

[@arthurhillard8546]

Thanks for this! Fantastic!

[@TerryTanktop]

I love those cosy American interviews. Thanks

[@JarrodCook93]

At 2:00 Peter tells us he saw Power of the Daleks episode 1.

[@williammitchell4417]

Peter, Dr Tristan Farnum, and then the 5th Doctor. Of course being the father in law of the 10th Doctor!! Doctor Who now worldwide is as huge as Star Trek for fandom.

[@david_4739]

The cybermen used to terrify me back then. I thought they lived in the sewers!

[@yacinekadri9110]

Ge is right in the five doctors jon pertwee and Patrick Troughton took ever the story more than Davidson

[@Armintanzarian23882]

No disrespect but this isnt the one inwas looking for
