Is there any reason McGann couldn't have starred in nuWho?

It's not your friend when you're a lazy git

I never said Google is a GOOD friend. In fact Google is like that friend that steels your beer and sleeps with your girlfriend behind your back.

Although as pointed out it is closer in appearance to Eccleston's ninth Doctor.

I understand why McGann tried it out but it's clear that the taste and preferences of one Doctor do not pass to the next after regeneration so it creates a bit of a continuity problem.

I don't mind the potential new look, it has a nice Jules Verne vibe going for it, and looks like a nice precurser to Eccleston's look. I do think it needs a touch more work however, looks too plasticky at the moment.

I would like to see McGann come back as the Doctor, but as a villainous version. Perhaps he can be the Valeyard and a cool recurring role. Continuity violation you say? Well, Doctor Who has a history of that and we've seen how time can be re-written. Obviously, things are put straight at some point as McGann's Doctor eventually regenerates into a deeply emotionally scarred and regretful character.

I'm just saying, I'd hate to see McGann only come on as Peter Davison did. I don't want a "quickie." With McGann there's no explanation needed for any changes in his appearance and demeanor, we've no idea how long his version lasted - an epically long time it seems. He could be like a new (and improved) nemesis.

Just sayin.
