Paul only played the Doctor onscreen once before, in the TV Movie. He gives a wonderful performance in it. Itâ??s a terrifically exuberant performance and it anticipates the later performances, particularly of Matt and David. Heâ??s a dashing, romantic, very funny and very affecting Doctor! Of course, Paul is not only known for the telemovie but for all his wonderful audio adventures. I'm always telling the Doctors and companions, as they come through the show, that they'll never be quite done with it - Big Finish is expecting them.

The 13th regeneration thing is rubbish really. They'll easily overcome it. I doubt they'll even put in references to it.
