This man literally saved Doctor Who after a decade of decline and self-parody. He certainly didn't get nearly enough credit at the time, but thankfully, those final two seasons are well respected.

It's never bothered me that people call the character 'Doctor Who', cause many of the actors and makers of the old series addressed him as such. He's also called 'Doctor Who' in alot of the credits of the old series. It's only been a huge thing not calling him 'the Doctor' with the advent of the newer series.

I don't take down comments, an opinion is an opinion, but McCoy was all right, the scripts in the first season really let him down and, as he toned down the comedy to become the all knowing darker Doctor to be seen best in season 26, there was much improvement and hope for the future, they pulled the plug too early.

12 regenerations, but they should make the 13 as if he's taking them from the Master. The Master comes back finds a way to get the full regeneratation, but the doctor accidentaly gets in the way as he's saving the universe from the Master. The Master blames him for stealing his lives.

I actually liked Sylvester McCoy more in season 24 than I did in seasons 25 and 26. I think he suffered greatly at the hands of pretentious, novice scriptwriters who turned the Doctor into a smug, irritating know-it-all, under the guidance of a pretentious, novice script editor who'd never actually written a script that got made into a TV episode and an amateur producer. I don't blame Sylvester McCoy at all, but I think the BBC pulled the plug at exactly the right time.
