Sylvester McCoy keen on Doctor Who return
Actor Sylvester McCoy has said he would be keen to return to Doctor Who for its 50th anniversary.McCoy, who played the seventh Doctor from 1987 to 1989, said fans wanted a multi-Doctor story to mark the programme's golden jubilee in 2013.
He also suggested that earlier Doctors - played by actors who have since died - could be brought back using computer technology.
"They've got such imaginations, they could do anything," he said.
"Would I do it? Yes, I'd be delighted to," said the actor when asked if he would consider reprising his most famous role.
"I am a part of it, it hasn't ever gone away and I celebrate the 21st Century Doctors," he continued - a reference to his successors Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith.
Time Lord technology
The first Doctor Who show to feature more than one actor playing the titular Time Lord was The Three Doctors in 1972.
That saw William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee - the first three actors to play the Doctor on television - appearing on screen together.
"I know that the producers balk at it. All those egos in the same room would be very difficult to deal with," McCoy continued.
"But the fans are hoping that for the 50th anniversary, which is coming up, they might do something like that.
"It would be fascinating with all the technology if they could bring back Jon Pertwee and William Hartnell.
"That would be amazing - and I bet they could do it if they wanted to."
The 67-year-old Scot also joked that technology could be used to "make us thin again".
McCoy is currently appearing in London in the first stage adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's comic novel Decline and Fall.

The 100 Greatest Sci-Fi & Fantasy TV Shows
Science fiction has been a regular fixture on television since the early days of the medium itself. In the US, kid-orientated space shows like Captain Video and his Video Rangers (1949-1955) and Space Patrol (1950) swiftly amassed a cult following, while Britain was treated to the altogether more grown-up The Quatermass Experiment in 1953.By the 1960s, science fiction was big business. The shows varied both in tone and content, from The Twilight Zone to Star Trek and from Doctor Who to The Prisoner, but all dealt with our fascination with what lies beyond the limits of known human existence. It’s a trend that continues today, with genre television now an integral part of the schedules…
1) Doctor Who (1963-present)
It had to be, didn’t it? No other sci-fi show combines the breadth of storytelling with such consistency of tone and character. Like the best anthology shows it can take you to any time and any place from week to week, yet like the best continuing dramas it has at its heart a dependable, recognisable hero. The Doctor’s face may change but his archetypal qualities of bravery, decency and fair play remain. For nearly 50 years, we have seen his universe through the eyes of his everyday travelling companions, encountering alien races so enduring that the modern show does not shy away from them, but celebrates them anew. Silurians, Sontarans and Cybermen threaten and thrill children now as much as they did in the 1970s, while the Daleks and the TARDIS are such a part of our cultural landscape that they can be found in dictionaries around the world. The format is so flexible, yet always so distinctly Doctor Who, that it is sure to run for another 50 years.

Interview with Sylvester McCoy, Time and the Rani DVD review
It certainly has been a busy week here at DWP Towers, quizzes and commentary tracks keeping the 50th episode celebration week ticking nicely along.
We have saved the best for last though - episode 50 is now yours to enjoy, and there is a lot to enjoy in this little file!
First up is an interview with the Seventh Doctor and soon to be Lord of the Rings Wizard, Sylvester McCoy.
Tom was lucky enough to have a bit of a chat with McCoy in his recent trip to the Big Finish studios. We think you will find this interview unlike any other you have heard from him.
Back in the studio, the boys review the Seventh Doctor's first adventure, now unleashed on DVD - Time and the Rani. This much maligned story has been given the 2Entertain deluxe DVD treatment and we look at the release and the story itself.

Prince Edward's role in Doctor Who
It was a chance for Prince Edward to put his showbusiness ambitions to the test – a starring role in Doctor Who, one of the nation’s favourite family shows.But the prospect of the Prince on prime-time TV in a story featuring a sorceress, cybermen and some Nazis was a step too far for Buckingham Palace, and Edward’s aides vetoed the idea.
Producers thought his involvement would create maximum publicity for the episodes in which he would play himself in a scene where the Doctor – Sylvester McCoy – and his assistant Ace, played by Sophie Aldred, arrive unexpectedly at Windsor Castle.
