Part III: "The Golden Age of Science Fiction"
“I was sceptical at first, being on the show. But the people I got to work with more than made it worthwhile. And the fans too. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve love going to conventions, just to see the fans. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a fandom as devoted as that of Doctor Who.”
- Paul McGann, taken from
An Adventure in Space and Time.
“The McGann era is definitely my favourite of the revival series. Combined with the fact that it was released around the time of Odyssey and when DS9 really hit its stride, I really wish I had been alive back then to have watched those shows as they came out.”
- allohistory.com user GallifreyHands, commenting on a post titled “AHC: Kill the ‘Golden Age of Science Fiction’”.
“Just on the border of your waking mind, there lies another time where darkness and light are one. And as you tread the halls of sanity, you feel so glad to be unable to go beyond. I have a message from another time...”
- Opening monologue to the 1996 film
Time.
“It was odd, working all of those years under such heavy makeup. It certainly wasn’t what years of British television had prepared me for. But in the end, I rather enjoyed it. I know that a lot of my cast-mates get recognised on the street, but I don’t get that so much. The prosthetic pieces really do wonders to hide your true appearance.”
- Nigel Havers, on his role as Gul/Commander Evek in
Star Trek: Odyssey.
