Dr Who convention 1997 held at the Picadilly Hotel, Manchester.
Ian Hu & Mark Lambert with Sylvester McCoy & Sophie Aldred.
We (tech crew) were in the green room between performances and Sylvester wandered in and came over and started chatting to us. A really nice genuine guy. Развлечения
My God, Sylvester McCoy doing an epic spoon solo AND Sophie Aldred in leather pants? What God did I please?
Even during the 'wilderness years' these two went out there and worked with fans who simply loved the show and wanted it back. McCoy himself always jokes at conventions that he 'killed Doctor Who'. Fact is the BBC did (just as it was getting good), yet McCoy and Sophie would do all kinds of weird and wonderful things in the name of Who, which eventually included audio and, thankfully in the present, still being a fantastic duo in the Big Finish audio's.
They are one of, if not THE, best TARDIS team you could ever have hoped for (and they contributed a LOT to the things that brought the show back in what you call "New Who" - and they BOTH happen to be epic people in real life. If you thought this was interesting, check the "Davison on Guitar & McCoy on the Spoons" video so you can watch TWO Doctors getting down-and-musical.
So true
Boy this takes me back!
Thank you to whoever put up the clips of our performance. Mark and I were very surprised and extremely flattered.
Spoke to Sylvester a few days ago, he was equally shocked and pleased.
I still have lots of footage from all our shows. If I ever get time I'll post then up.
Kind regards
Ian Hu
MANOPTICON 5! So proud to have been a part of the team who organised this!
This isss sooo good thank you for doing it
I'm meeting Sylvester and Sophie next month I can't wait
As another Doctor would eventually say... I am the Doctor, and this... is my spoon!
That middle eight sound beautiful
Now if Radagast played the spoons...
+Zacharias Quicksilver Gandalf would immediatly ask him to stop.
AWESOME! Just imagine if someone yelled "Play Freebird!"
I love how you can tell that McCoy and Aldred are good buddies.
this is what I suspect happened between the last classic who-episode and the who-movie.
NeptunII so wait, this is isn't canon?!
Sylvester is a gem. He could have been one of the greatest doctors if only he'd had better scripts and costume designers. His run is definitely hard to watch since the stories are a convoluted mess, but him and Sophie (and Mel) had real chemistry together
Maybe in Season 24 yeah, but his 2nd and 3rd seasons were fantastic.
Love the smile as he's playing the spoons on her bum. He's a letchy old git but I love him lol
Best Doctor in that good autumn leaf waistcoat
I remember this coz I was there at manopticon 5 .
My favorite Doctor. LOVE and RESPECT
One of the most complicated and dark-themed TARDIS Team, folks.
Always loved these two. They're fun to watch, even in the not-so-great episodes. Just a great back-and-forth between the two. Also, whenever you seen interviews or other appearances with them together you can tell they really enjoy goofing off with each other.
Ah, this is brilliant! I also really love the version of the theme they're playing.
Such a wicked video. I love it.
Thanks for this.
I feel like being the age I am I should no be turned on by Silvester McCoy playing the spoons
Simply brilliant.
Love Sly's eyebrow raise at 1:39. :D
Oh, context, how I love you. XD
That was FANTASTIC
Aldred in leather... YAY!
If whichever God brought us this needs a sacrifice to bring us more, ngl sign me tf up
hahaha this video is so awesome and hilarious!!! he can play the spoons on me ANY DAY! ;D
also, after seeing this, i think they've officially become my favorite Doctor/Companion pair :D
(Very) new to the show, and I've only watched the new stuff... but like I needed another reason to start on Classic!
Ace would have got pumped
Sylv's the Man! And deary me.. Sophie..? Oh my word Sophie.. Oh Sophie!!!!
Get here NOW u cheeky girl! lmao!
I can't decide which rendition of the Doctor Who theme is the most awesome: Sylvester McCoy playing the spoons, or Adam Savage playing the electricity.
He IS very sexy! Haha
I read somewhere that he used to work in the circus before becoming an actor so maybe that was part of his act.
he was originally a stuntman on the Ken Campbell Roadshow... usually accustomed to stuffing his trousers with ferrets. Bet that didn't half tickle like crazy...
they should do one of those episodes in the new series where he meets himself with 7. That would be awesome.
Wow. Just... wow.
And the spoon playing wasn't bad, either!
did they clone him into Rowan Atkinson or something
Just came from TV Tropes. Apparently poor "Kent" there can commiserate with Jack Lewis and his character Eustace.
Adam Savage. Sorry, Sylv. But he could always hop in a Tesla cage and he'd instantly upstage Adam.
I can't fucking hear the spoons ._.
Can't even hear the spoons.
My favorite Doctor. LOVE and RESPECT
