Doctor Who has been on hiatus for several years. With the 30th anniversary of the show approaching, and BBC One helmed by new Controller Alan Yentob, what are the chances of the much-loved science-fiction show making a comeback?
Andi Peters chats with some Doctor Who fans who believe that the programme is ripe for regeneration, and whose sentiments are echoed by former Doctors Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison and Colin Baker.
Selina Scott introduces his report.
This clip is from Entertainment Express, originally broadcast 2 April, 1993.

I think the way his doctor who ended you can perhaps maybe see why there might be some discontent from his part as I think he was treated poorly by the bbc in his defence, and the writing was poor for his doctor, I don’t feel he naturally suit the doctor as I feel the writing perhaps has got to be more tailored to his style for it to work, but I respected his professionalism as an actor to the part

@matthewcorcoran2891 that's not it at all. He was extremely bitter at how BBC had treated him, very similar to Eccleston, but ever since joining Big Finish in '99 he has been one of the biggest advocates for the show.

1993: We would lose Jon Pertwee soon; William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton had already gone. Colin Baker left the show with bitterness in 1986; it took some time for him to mellow out and support the show. It would be 11 more years before the Beeb would greenlight the new version (the Americanized 1996 TV movie notwithstanding) and continue for at least 17 years.

Nicely edited clips, which are from Resistance is Useless, but it really does drive home the work that has been done to restore the series since the Nineties. The Sixties (not talking about the tinting here of course, which is for style) and Pertwee you might understand more, but that clip of Peter Davison at 2:13 is dreadful and it was only broadcast eleven years before this segment was aired.
