Paul McGann did Big Finish audio adventures starting in 2003, so there were seven series of his adventures before the Night of the Doctor. As mentioned, he names all of his companions from those stories, which made fans of the Big Finish material go even crazier. As for "the Last Day" perhaps you remember various times the Doctor has mentioned the Fall of Arcadia? The one soldier said to the POV character, "Welcome to Arcadia." so this minisode is showing the first moments of the Fall of Arcadia.

2021-05-21 15:08:22 +0000 UTCThe War-Doctor reset his age, when he started to fight in the war "no need for a Doctor anymore" He regenerates at age 800, so he fought 800years in the Timewar. Thats a long time, i mean he clearly has a Burn out / PTSD ...he is shooting words into a wall fgs. McGanns audios are awesome. Not a single bad performance of him. Also John Hurt, his 4 series are just wow. The Big Finish audios are the reason why McGann and Hurt share my alltime no. 2 spot, in my Doctors ranking. You can see the Doctor infront of you. Thats how good they are. Also i love the little fun fact, about the parody "the five(ish) Doctors reboot. When Doctors 5,6,7 and 8 try to get a role in the 50th special. When filming this, Paul McGann just finished his part for night of the Doctor and he said "I was filming the 50th and was not allowed to tell them, i felt sorry for the guys" Also they try to phone Tom but he wasnt part of it. The ironie is, they couldnt reach him on phone or email, because he was filming the 50th too.

2021-05-21 12:24:25 +0000 UTCThe 1996 movie wasn’t too bad. A bit too much exposition at the start, and the Gillian was a tad too campy, but Paul McGann was brilliant as the Doctor, and the greatest tragedy was that he never got to go on in film to expand on the role. But then he started doing the Big Finish audio adventures, which are astoundingly good (I think his stories are by far the best of the Big Finish range). Seeing him in this mini side was a total surprise. It had been kept a secret up to its release, and it was so satisfying to see him in the role again. Also, the image of John Hurt thy use in the mirror is taken from one of his early films, so he’s quite young - not the gruff old man we see in The Name of the Doctor and the Day of the Doctor - implying he was the War Doctor fighting in the Time War for a very long time, probably hundreds of years. On the topic of Big Finish, I think it would be interesting for you gals to maybe do a series of posts discussing them. As audio they don’t so much lend themselves to reactions as such, but you could independently listen to stories off camera and then film reviews/discussions about the story you’ve heard, maybe splicing in choice snippets from the audio into the video. I’d certainly be up for watching reviews like that, and I think you could listen to the entirety of McGann’s run without being spoiled on anything else in Classic Who. Finally, the names McGann mentions before drinking the potion are all his companions from the Big Finish audio, making them most definitely cannon.

2021-05-21 06:52:49 +0000 UTCThe best thing about 'Night of the Doctor' -- at least in my opinion -- was how it basically broke the internet on the day it dropped. People just thought it was going to be a random minisode for the 50th, but no real big deal, AND THEN FREAKING PAUL McGANN POPPED UP! And fandom promptly imploded with shock and glee! 💀

2021-05-21 06:09:58 +0000 UTCYeah, the TV Movie isn't perfect, but I've honestly always had a big softspot for it. And Paul McGann is an AMAZING Doctor -- definitely loads for people to check out with him between the EDAs (the Eighth Doctor Adventures books), Big Finish, etc. <3

2021-05-21 06:07:23 +0000 UTCThat's a lot of info! :D I'm working my way through the early 8th Doctor audios on Spotify (I've got as far as Chimes). I notice they've also just released a whole (free) bunch of "Charley Pollard Adventures". Have you listened to any of these? Do you know if they worth trying?

2021-05-20 20:49:28 +0000 UTCYou might want to look up how Paul McGann's Doctor actually looked in the movie and compare it it the minisode (or look at the closing credits of the 50th again). Huge wavy curls, Edwardian velvet coat and brocade vest. Obviously between the movie & minisode there was a lot of mileage on the Doc
Mark Ten
2021-05-20 20:07:26 +0000 UTCWhen Moffatt did the novelization of the Night Of The Doctor, he revealed that all the cups the Sisterhood held contained the same elixir. There was no such a thing as a warriors potion. The Doctor did that to himself
Mark Ten
2021-05-20 20:04:27 +0000 UTCBad continuity, maybe. For instance, the Daleks would never put the Master on trial for his crimes. The Daleks wouldn't consider what he'd done crimes, ever. Also, they wouldn't put him on trial, they'd just kill him. Or try to. And they certainly wouldn't let the Doctor, their biggest enemy, come in peace to take the Master's remains back to Gallifrey. And the less said about the half-human crap the better. The rest of it? Yeah, I'll take it.

2021-05-20 19:14:22 +0000 UTCI think of it this way: I don't live at a friend's house, but (in normal years, not this hellscape we're in now) I have stayed in a guest room and spent the night there.
Scribbles
2021-05-20 19:10:50 +0000 UTCHe also referenced it back in the finale of Series 2. I think it was in "Doomsday" when he was talking to the Daleks that he said, "I was there at the fall of Arcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that." For the longest time, I'd always assumed it had been a planet. I never thought it would be another city on Gallifrey.

2021-05-20 19:08:06 +0000 UTCEvery time I watch "Clara and the Tardis" it makes me realize that the Tardis can be a messy bench that loves drama and I love it

2021-05-20 19:07:24 +0000 UTCThe TVMovie, although undeniably not a classic, is too much maligned,IMO. When you eventually watch/react to it,go in with an open mind and I think you'll find plenty to enjoy. At the very least,it has tons of continuity!

2021-05-20 18:42:13 +0000 UTCOkay, now that it's no longer a spoiler, let me explain why Moffat totally screwed up the whole Eighth Doctor thing. For most of the Eighth Doctor's run in the audios (he's actually been the Doctor the longest of any actor in the history of the show, as other Doctors have done audios, but they always came in batches here and there, while Paul McGann was playing the Eighth Doctor pretty much constantly from 2001 on), Big Finish has known about the Time War and figured it would be Eight who fought in it. So, they fashioned his character arch through all those years to slowly develop him to be the Doctor willing to fight. (Damn it, I hit Enter too soon. Editing is happening, I swear!) Anyway, in essence, the universe was rather cruel to poor Eight. In the TV Movie, he had been a cheerful and gentle soul who was the kind of guy who never in a million years even THINK of fighting in a war. Over the years, he had loved and lost (really, it was very well written, and heartbreaking), and then he found a friend that was kind of like Donna for Ten. Willing to confront him and puncture his ego, but loyal and just...wonderful. It was a great time and Lucie helped him heal from the loss of Charley. He even finally fulfilled his promise to his granddaughter Susan to come see her again. And if you know of the story, Susan had stayed on Earth because she fell in love with a human named David. When Eight went to meet her, he met his great-grandson, Alex. Then the Daleks came, and by the end of two-parter, both Lucie and Alex were dead. For a long time, Eight had been struggling with the darkness (not evil, just becoming harder), but the deaths of his best friend and his great-grandson made up his mind. He swore that if he ever saw the Daleks again, he'd wipe them from history. He'd decided that his Fourth incarnation had been wrong in Genesis of the Daleks when he spared them. Now that is a Doctor who could fight the Time War, right? And Moffat had claimed he was a fan of Big Finish. He even thought he was doing a good thing listing off the names of all Eight's companions, and giving him Eight's new haircut and outfit which is so different from his original one. However, what he'd done was basically to shit ALL over everything Big Finish had worked towards when it came to Eight's character arc. He'd basically erased the WHY of his gruffness in this minisode. Why he was so hard and not the sweet, gentle thing he'd been in the TV movie. Moffat ruined all that, and just because he wanted a Doctor all his own. There was no scheduling conflict with Paul McGann. In fact, McGann *wanted* to be part of the 50th. Instead, he got this minisode that crapped all over the work he and Big Finish had done. I mean, I'm glad that Charley, C'Rizz, Lucie and Tamsin (Tamsin was also killed by those same Daleks, but she hadn't been with the Doctor long and had actually left him for the Meddling Monk, another Time Lord, so it wasn't as hard a blow for the listener) all got namechecked, but that doesn't remove what he'd done in the rest of the minisode. No way would the Eighth Doctor at this point in his timeline ever say that he'd rather die than fight the Daleks. He wanted the Daleks gone. All of them. Not just gone, but so gone that they'd never been there in the first place. So there's my rant. I both love and hate Night of the Doctor. Love it because I get to see my second favorite Doctor (after Ten) again, and I got to hear the names of some of my favorite companions again (especially Charley), but I hate it for what Moffat did to erase some of Eighth's character arc, which is the longest and best I've ever encountered for an incarnation of the Doctor.

2021-05-20 18:42:06 +0000 UTCThe TV movie isn't really that bad despite some flaws and it actually did quite well in England. Most people do say that Paul McGann was one of the best things about it so a lot of people was pleased when he ended up doing the audios which he still does to this day.

2021-05-20 18:28:11 +0000 UTCIt's not so much that the TV Movie wasn't *good* so much as it didn't work too well as a pilot - not least because it aired in the US directly opposite the episode of Roseanne with Dan's heart attack. Though it's an interesting experience to watch now because you can definitely see it as a kind of pilot for the revival - lots of things you can see Davies went 'yup, that works,' and also lessons on what doesn't work (RTD himself said that there's one major plot point he'd definitely have done in the first episode of his if the TVM hadn't proven it was a bad idea). McGann wasn't asked back in 2005 because RTD wanted as clean a break as possible - for the new show to be as new as possible (even vetoing a repeat season of old classics the BBC wanted to put on). Almost everyone agrees though, whatever they didn't like about the TVM, that McGann himself was fantastic. In fact almost no Doctor gets it 100% right in their very first episode but McGann really did.

2021-05-20 18:26:33 +0000 UTCHonestly, while it was fun to watch, I don't really consider "Clara and the Tardis" canon. it has been clearly established in series 7 that unlike other companions, Clara doesn't actually live in the Tardis. this minisode was probably written before this plot point was decided. As for Paula replacing Katrina, this is actually an interesting idea. when you would finish watching your shows, both of you could adopt a new Newb each and start re-watching again with them

2021-05-20 17:44:24 +0000 UTCThat last one you watched was the "fall of Arcadia", which the Doctor referenced back in Season 3. He spoke to the master about how he was there at the fall of Arcadia, and one day he might be okay with that. So it was a connecting piece of tissue from earlier in Nu Who to the 50th. :)

2021-05-20 17:33:22 +0000 UTCPaul is still doing the audios! Most recent one just came out about a month ago or so, I really love them but obviously I do wish he had more screen time as The Doctor as well.
