He was ok... music was a majorlet down for it... and some of the writing

I liked the 7th Doctor but then he was on when I started watching the show properly in 1987 (having sporadically watched it before) so he's "my" Doc in a lot of ways.

His first season got a lot of flack for poor writing and McCoy's self-consciously "clownish" performance, though. Things really picked up in the 1988 and 1989 seasons ("Remembrance..." is a great Dalek serial and the slightly "Sapphire and Steel"-esque "Ghost Light" is one of my favourite "Who" stories).

He's not a bad Doc really. Haven't seen many of his stories but they weren't bad.

I herd a Big Finish one with him in called Live 34 and I thought it was brilliant, there was also one called Project: Lazerous which had him and Colin Baker in.

Does he always do that thing with rolling his r's?

Project Lazerous? Anything to do with the David Tennant story?

Nah, they arn't allowed to do stuff like that, it involved an evil torchwood-like organisation called the forge... it was pre-torchwood though.

I'm in the same boat as Zagreb: he's the only non-new Doctor I saw first-time around. Moreover, I was a bit too young back then so I don't remember much of him.
I'm told by friends that he had some truly great stories though, interspersed with the kind of rubbish that got the series discontinued.

Have to say I was 6 when they stoppeed making it, so I don't remember it from the 80s, though I'm sure I watched it. The only Dr Who memory I have from that time was when I was 4 and was on a family holiday in England and there was a Dr Who exhibit in Longleat and there was a smiley - tardis.
