I was looking through DWM's In Their Own Words mag specials and grinned at this bit in 87-96:
How did Sylvester McCoy measure up to Patrick Troughton?
"They were two very different kinds of actor. Sylvester came from a comic tradition, I suppose... He was a very funny man, whereas Pat was a sexy one. He was a sexy Doctor. Sylvester wasn't sexy. Some people say that you've got to be sexy on TV. Sylvester had other fine qualities, but he wasn't sexy. He wasn't Pat Troughton."
