This is from the BBC website.

Quote:

Actor Sylvester McCoy has said he would be keen to return to Doctor Who for its 50th anniversary.

McCoy, who played the seventh Doctor from 1987 to 1989, said fans wanted a multi-Doctor story to mark the programme's golden jubilee in 2013.

He also suggested that earlier Doctors - played by actors who have since died - could be brought back using computer technology.

"They've got such imaginations, they could do anything," he said.

"Would I do it? Yes, I'd be delighted to," said the actor when asked if he would consider reprising his most famous role.

"I am a part of it, it hasn't ever gone away and I celebrate the 21st Century Doctors," he continued - a reference to his successors Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith.

Time Lord technology

The first Doctor Who show to feature more than one actor playing the titular Time Lord was The Three Doctors in 1972.

That saw William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee - the first three actors to play the Doctor on television - appearing on screen together.

"I know that the producers balk at it. All those egos in the same room would be very difficult to deal with," McCoy continued.

"But the fans are hoping that for the 50th anniversary, which is coming up, they might do something like that.


The first multi-Doctor story was 1972's The Three Doctors
"It would be fascinating with all the technology if they could bring back Jon Pertwee and William Hartnell.

"That would be amazing - and I bet they could do it if they wanted to."

The 67-year-old Scot also joked that technology could be used to "make us thin again".

McCoy is currently appearing in London in the first stage adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's comic novel Decline and Fall.

He has also been cast as a wizard in the Hobbit films, expected to begin shooting in New Zealand in 2011.

He has always said he would do it and good on him for not being uppety about it. Its a shame though that a multi Doctor story doesnt seem to be in the pipeworks (going on that Peirs Wenger interview)

I would love to see him come back, even if only for a cameo. Old Sylv was one of my favourites and he needs a better last outing the the movie

Oh I love hearing about returning Doctors. I wish McCoy would do it. All fans expect a multi-Doctor story to such a degree that if the BBC doesn't do it, they're gonna feel guilty! Though I heard that McCoy didn't want to return as the Doctor, but as another character.

I don't think the BBC would feel guilty. Generally they don't seem to care much about anything, especially not whether the fans get what they want. Saying that though, the 'BBC' will have very little say in what we get either way. It's up to the Moff and he usually makes it a point to not listen to the fans. In fact, just so he could say he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if he went totally the opposite way.
