Sylvester McCoy was the old Doctor, the one who I take over from in this film.
He's been a Doctor for seven or eight years, and he took me through it,
the job description.
Expect the unexpected,
and there's all kind of extramural things that go with the post.
I'm trying to think which and...
..like I say, it's only just dawning on me now, I don't think I'm ever going to be ready for it.
I mean the spin-offs, the conventions and the get-togethers and the...
There's an inherent advantage, production-wise, certainly,
with a character that you can simply - conveniently, it must be said -
morph into somebody else.
So, in that sense it's been easy,
one Doctor just takes over from another, no questions asked.
And in the case for this movie, we've done the morphing like special effects.
You see him literally turn into me
and then I walk away with the role.
The Master is his oldest foe,
his oldest enemy.
They're equals in the sense that...their power.
They're Time Lords, they're both Time Lords.
He's a rival Time Lord,
a Time Lord being a character with a propensity to go backwards and forwards through time.
A bit like the...Raphael - it's Lucifer.
There are thousands upon thousands of loyal fans waiting for this moment.
I've seen all the websites, you know,
and, like I say, they're here - they're HERE...
..and it's there. It's what we call a ''sleeping giant'' in England.
It's waiting, I think, to happen.
It's there. All they've got to do is get it there, I'm sure - I'm sure.
