    Again my own opinion but I'd probably say the % of great episodes for SNW is way higher that any other Trek show*, and obviously a great part of that is down to the reduced episode count.

    *Which doesn't mean SNW is my favourite Trek show but it probably is top 3/4 now.

    Not surprising Pertwee is his favourite.

    No mention of Hurt or Martin I notice, well that might confuse things I guess! He does clearly see Pertwee as a kindred spirit doesn't he!

    Well, he did specify "core Doctors" at the beginning.

    I liked that video...until the video's purpose shifted in highlighting the companions in the modern era as if the idea of each Doctor having multiple companions was a new idea. I found that really jarring. Very nitpicky and I get why they did it that way, but it still bugged me (especially considering Ncuti's reaction to The Tenth Doctor being a player).

    In the context of the video, which is highlighting the different production eras, their absence made sense to me.

    It's funny you highlight his comments on the tenth Doctor, because I felt like his comments on the eleventh suggested gangbangs in the TARDIS! (Yes, while I firmly believe the Doctor and Clara were FWBs by "The Day of the Doctor," I just can't at all see Amy/Rory/Doctor gangbags.)

    The TARDIS makes an appearance on the recent episode of Young Sheldon and Sheldon is dressed as the 7th Doctor.

    On a similar note, an alien ship greatly resembled the TARDIS in a recent episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which featured David Tennant as the alien who owned the ship.

    Someone doesn't know the right filters for A Teaspoon and an Open Mind...

    Nitpick, 2 guys 1 girl isn't actually a gangbang. That's just MMF threesome.

    How are they not core Doctors and yet McGann was? The line makes sense to discount the Morbius Eight, the 60s big screen flicks, the stageplay incarnation, sure. But not the primary venue of officially made BBC entries. Hurt and Martin count. More than McGann, in that regard, arguably.

    Not really. Both were told in their stories fairly well and are easily given as much a quick summary as the rest, taking even less effort than the summary for Six's. So why would they be ignored?

    Because Paul McGann was lead actor (even if it was just for one production) while John Hurt and Jo Martin were basically just guest stars.

    It's pretty easy, they even number them...
