Colin gave the example that the Doctor probably didn’t find his enormous age much of a problem 900 years probably felt like being middle aged to him.Īn actor has to inhabit a role.

You had to play the lines as best you could and give as good a performance as you can. By comparison, he said, very little information like that was available when you tried to build up the character of the Doctor. The biggest difference was that it was easier to play a human because you could build up the character from what you knew about them: who their parents were, where they went to school, what influenced and interested them, and so on. Peter was asked whether, for an actor, playing an alien was different from playing a human. We were lucky enough to have Peter Davison at the last Bedford Who Charity Con. Jodie Whittaker just doesn’t convince as the Doctor – or doesn’t convince me, at any rate. Alas, that includes the central performance. As has been said before by other commentators, a key problem in Who these days is the quality of the regulars’ performances. I don’t lie awake at night nursing my loathing and rehearsing horrid things to say about it. I don’t hate it I don’t think it’s any good but my emotional reaction to it is probably indifference more than anything else. Those who are generous enough to read my sporadic ravings may have noticed that I am not exactly deeply enamoured of the current era of Doctor Who.
