*I don't think McGann will appear on the show, but possibly an image or such... I'm not to sure to be honest... I don't like it when they change their main style... if it was incorporated into an audio drama rather than just simply switched, then I could work with it... but right now, until they complete it and we get some good, proper images of it... it's a bit.... iffy... --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 13:44, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

River can't have known the eigth doctor, because the tenth doctor would have remembered her in silence in the library. If they ever did bring McGann back in the TV series, it would be too weird to have an entire season or half season with 2 doctors. If they bring him back in the TV series, it will probably just be for an episode like the multi-doctor episodes in the classic series. What would be cool, would be if they made another TV movie, set during the Eigth Doctor's time, before he regenerated into the ninth.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 23:26, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

I, for one, dig the hell out of the idea of revamping Eight's look. I always thought one of the least fortunate things about the Eight!verse is the fact that we never got to see what he would have worn on the second day of his life! Surely he wouldn't still be wearing a costume stolen from a morgue attendant. Behind the scenes, since the selection of publicity shots was so limited, poor Eight only has about five poses with three facial expressions for all his cover photos ever. McGann still looks the part, and unlike the rest of the Doctors we did not see how old he looked when he regenerated. Four died looking like 1981 Tom Baker, Five died looking like 1984 Peter Davison, but for all we know Eight could have died looking like Paul McGann in his 60s or 70s; he doesn't ''have'' to look like 1996 Paul for all his future adventures. There is no reason not to at least take new photos for Big Finish; even better, the powers that be won't have to pay Fox/Universal for the rights to them. As yet another bonus, perhaps McGann's Doctor can finally have hair that's not a wig he hates. XD As for the costume itself, I'll reserve judgement since it's a work in progress, though I do think that's a lovely sonic. [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] 23:50, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
