5 reasons why Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor should be your favourite

Posted Filed under

As a life-long Doctor Who fan, the hardest and most annoying question to answer is, “Who’s your favourite Doctor?”

Here Liam South provides five reasons why the Seventh Doctor should be your answer…

 

Sylvester McCoy manages to bring some mystery back to the Doctor. A conscious move on the part of Script Editor Andrew Cartmel.

 

McCoy manages to walk the balance between humour and tragedy, using a comic persona to mask the Doctor’s inner depression and melancholy.

 

McCoy’s Doctor gets one of the coolest and most fondly remembered companions, Ace. And their chemistry is always charming.

 

McCoy’s costume change in his last season from the bright snowy white coat to the chocolate brown is excellent, reflecting the darker nature of the stories.

 

When in doubt, McCoy just makes faces and that in itself is worth it.
