Sorry, Syl-vester.... He really defined who the Doctor was in that brief scene. The lonesome traveler in his Police Box. His days like crazy paving. Lovely.

Ah! I wished we had the whole audition scene in this clip. Too bad Janet did not do it in her Tegan voice. It was a great scene in the final programme also. I am glad Sly insisted on its inclusion. This scene is one reason why his Doctor is tied with Peter Davison's for my favorite.

How unusual that a former companion should be used in an audition scene for selecting a new actor to play the Doctor. Generally it's just a casting director or a member of the production team that's used if another actor is not available to play opposite someone who is auditioning for a role...... Nice BTS footage .......

I think she was someone's agent by then.

This is Janet Fielding though. The person who enjoyed sone level of fame from Doctor Who then left but hung around behind the scenes until its 1989 cancellation, then spent the 90s slagging it to the ground and pissing on the very thing that kept her deadbeat self from starving to death.

And forgot to add: seems Janet Fielding had a fair few Who run ins - a fix with Sontarans and Colin, this, and she was Paul McGann's agent when he got the Who role! :-)

@AubreySciFi 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, she actually ended up working with 4 different Doctors! She started with Tom, ran thru most of Peter's run, Did the "In a fix with Sontarans" short with Colin, and then helped audition Sylvester with this. Wild!

And like mentioned, she became McGann's agent and was even with him on set in Canada when he was shooting the TV Movie.

She was never going to escape the show. Even when she finally gave into Big Finish 11 years ago ( and 3 years prior w/ The Gathering)

Interesting that Janet Fielding was apart of the auditioning sequence as she had previously played Tegan Jovanka.

If anything his ‘costume’ here (which I assume was McCoy’s personal duds), were more Doctor-ish than the cream silk ensemble he ended up with.

I have nothing against Janet Fielding the actor but I think using Perri (Nicola Bryant) would make it more relevant in the context of time. She was still the current companion in the radio shows featuring Colin Baker which if expanded would have made quite good episodes. 'Spectre of Lanyor Moor' and 'Slipback' etc.

@dommoore6180 2 жыл бұрын

the only radio play of that time was slipback, spectre is a Big Finish play from the early 00s.

Does anyone know how Mel was originally scripted to leave? Always thought leaving with Glitz was beyond unbelievable. But as good as Sly was, Who was so mistreated by then that it was a pale shadow of what it once was, and what it still could have been.
