Seventh Doctor actor Sylvester McCoy expresses his one complaint towards the modern day era of Doctor Who, despite most of the show "not changing."
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Who alum Sylvester McCoy explains his only negative feeling towards the show's revival era. McCoy played the Seventh Doctor in the series, originally performing across three Doctor Who seasons from 1987 to 1989. He made a brief return to the series for the season 13 finale, “The Power of the Doctor,” but will not be returning to the show for Doctor Who season 14.
“It’s changed because it got younger and in a way it became even more successful because of that. But I regret it in a way, because what I loved about the early Doctors was we had a superhero who was not Superman, or Mr America, he wasn’t muscular. He used his brain, not his brawn, but he was a wise old man.
“Has it changed? No, it hasn’t really changed. It keeps changing and not changing, like a Gordian Knot of visuals and creatives. Writers are all affected by what they saw when they were young. Despite Younger Doctors, Doctor Who Is Still Trying To Appeal To The Older Crowd McCoy’s analysis of the Time Lord's evolving ages is mostly accurate. Of the first seven Doctor Who leads, only one, Fifth Doctor Peter Davidson, began the role when they were under the age of 40. In contrast, four out of the six most recent Doctors have started their Time Lord tenures before the age of 40.
