Decked out in vintage cricket whites and a stick of celery, Peter Davison played the popular fifth incarnation of The Doctor for three series in the early 1980s - tackling Daleks, Cybermen, The Master and one very annoying male companion along the way. Recently returning to the legendary role for the Children In Need special 'Time Crash' alongside David Tennant, Davison continues to play the role in a series of audio adventures for Big Finish. Digital Spy caught up with the great man himself for a chat about his continuing association with Doctor Who. In the interview he talked about his time with Big Finish "The BBC had effectively dropped Doctor Who and this filled a very important gap in the market. I never had a problem about going back to Doctor Who and I don't quite understand people who have a problem going back, albeit temporarily." He also spoke about his return to the role in the Children in Need special. "It was a kind of weird experience really. I was dressed as my Doctor and what did strike me is that my Doctor's outfit was really built for those awful oval sets at Television Centre - whereas David [Tennant] was cooly dressed and everything seemed to fit in with that fantastic Tardis console set in Cardiff. I felt slightly out of place, like a fish out of water. But after a while I was really getting into it and it was fine."You can read the whole interview at the link above.
