A 'live' interview introducing Doctor #7, Sylvester McCoy to PBS audiences in the United States. Also included in the interview are John Nathan-Turner and Jon Pertwee. The guy doing the interview was really bad/nervous and Jon Pertwee just seemed to be having fun playing off of that!

A friend who runs a stall at many of these conventions was recently telling me that rumours are circulating that Sylvester has been not quite himself lately, or so people higher up the convention chain have been telling him.

Apparently Sylvester went to the wrong town or city entirely.

Early signs of dementia got mentioned.

I certainly hope not.

It's just a whispering.

Having said that, it sounds a very Sylvester McCoy thing to do, even in the best of health! Bless him!

Hopefully Sylvester will pop up on a convention interview soon and prove these mutterings wrong.

Sylvester McCoy on "Blue Peter"


Sylvester McCoy's first appearance as the new Doctor on "Blue Peter", 1987, plus the announcement of his casting on BBC News. And a thoroughly surreal bit of Colin Baker doing something for a famine appeal, apparently...

Punchline - Doctor Who audio play starring Sylvester McCoy


An audio play released in 2000 by the BBV, a company specialising in unauthorised Doctor Who knock-offs. They had a whole series called "The Time Travellers", starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as thinly-veiled versions of the Seventh Doctor and Ace. This is the final episode, and easily the best and weirdest because it was written by Robert Shearman, the acclaimed playwright who went on to script the Christopher Eccelston episode "Dalek". I'm uploading it in an attempt to rescue it from total obscurity.

Am happy to report that this is a load of rubbish.

Said friend went to "AN EVENING WITH SYLVESTER AND SOPHIE" a couple of nights ago, in Cleethorpes.

Sylvester was his usual bright self, talking with absolute clarity, leaving the stage and chatting amongst the audience.


.......I also went to the local comicon yesterday....

.........where not only were Sylvester and Sophie sat, but Fraser Hines and Olive (Anna Karen) off ON THE BUSES were too.

Sylvester looked fine - although apparently there had been some difficulty during the earlier part of the event when 83 year old Anna Karen's mobility scooter had trouble getting through the doors into the hall, bless her. :emoji_cry:
