: I suppose one question I'd have to ask, seeing as how I'm only somewhat familiar with the Lucie audios and none of the books or comics: is it the TVM or ''Night'' appearance which is more representative of everything else in those 17 years in between (prose and comic depictions, and any narration describing how Eight looks in audio), particularly short hair versus wig? But if as SOTO there's a better-quality more-policy-compliant-than-present image for ''Night'', I wouldn't be too bothered.

: Although naturally, Eight's cameos in the BBC Wales TV series (Prisoner Zero's hologram, Mr Clever accessing the Doctor's memories, the infostamp in ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'') all use footage or other imagery from the TV movie, as ''Night'' didn't exist at the time. The dream at the end of ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' doesn't use the shorter hair or Howard Burden's costume from ''Night'' either. So maybe TVM is in its own way the "main" Eight, even just on television. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 01:41, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Infobox pic

Is this still the best we can do?

It was decided by discussion some time ago that the infobox pic was the best possible pic we could have of McGann, given his singular performance. Now that he's had two performances, though, the question can be opened up again. Anyone have strong feelings as to whether the image should be from the TVM or Night of the Doctor?

Even if Eight's appearance towards the end of his life is more representative, Night of the Doctor simply does not have the best lighting. If a well-light left-looking image of Eight from NOTD can be found, though, I'm all game.
