[QUOTE="Tyranthraxus, post: 5551729, member: 13335"] The series was in Ratings fatigue long before McCoy came along though. Some of the 6th Doctor stories got particuarly poor ratings. Stories like Delta and the Bannermen didnt help though. You are really only as good as your writers though. Your second though is actually quite interesting. In the Tom Baker serial 'The Brain of Morbius' a riff on the Frankenstein mythos, Morbius (in his patchwork body) and the Doctor square off in a Mindbending contest. Apparently it basically pits a timelord against another in a contest of wills. To visualise this for the viewer, they used head shots of previous versions of the Doctor as he appeared to be losing and then other headshots after the 1st Doctor appeared. Conjecture was speculated whether the 1st Doctor was indeed the first incarnation or just the 1st one we saw. The other theory was that the Doctor started to win and the head shots we saw were of previous incarnations of Morbius. Terrance Dicks (the writer of the story) never really defined it either, which I think in a way is good. More uncertainty. Then of course you have the issues over the ages The Doctor is at various times in his incarnations. [/QUOTE]
