Peter Davison ‘can’t imagine’ multi-Doctor adventure

February 2nd, 2010

peter_davisonDuring an interview on The Alan Titchmarsh show earlier today, Peter Davison, the actor who played the Fifth Doctor from 1981 to 1984 (and in a 2007 Children in Need sketch!) commented on the chances of a future multi-Doctor story.

“I haven’t heard anything about it, and I doubt that it’d happen,” he told the host. “I mean, there aren’t that many of us left!”

He explained: “They’d have to get people that looked a bit like the characters who are no longer with us. I just don’t see it happening, but I wouldn’t rule it out absolutely.”

Earlier this year, Sixth Doctor Colin Baker confirmed that the likelihood of a multi-Doctor episode was ‘very small’.

    Surely they could just have a few Doctors, not necessarily all of them. We’ve had the duologue between Five and Ten, why not throw in a couple more?

    That said, I’ve no idea how it would turn out, not knowing any of the Doctors before Nine.

    Well they are certainly going to have to do something a little bit special in 2013.

    What could be more “special” than a multi-Doctor story again after all this time?

    There are eight actors that are alive that played the Doctor and that includes David and Matt. I think they could do a multi-doctor episode, but they could use the same concept that was used for the five doctors. Tom Baker didn’t want to be apart of it so they took some footage that wasn’t ever shown and had him i there like that. I think they could do the same for William, Patrick and Jon!

    There is an age problem with the idea. ALthough 2 of the 5 may get away with an on screen appearance, 3 wouldn’t.

    @Steve Who are the three doctors who wouldn’t get away with it ??

    Tom and Colin wouldn’t but if you are talking about McCoy I think he looks the same but just with grey hair. There is also the problem with Chris and all the things that happened with the BBC.
