Overall an enjoyable overview on the Seventh Doctor.
Not surprising to hear once again how much Sophie Aldred as Ace enjoyed beating up a Dalek in Remembrance of the Daleks.
Nicholas Briggs mentioned the Seventh Doctor as being like a wizard like Merlin. Curiously enough among the stories that did not get represented in this episode is Battlefield in which the Doctor was believed to be Merlin. Surely the episode could have easily cut into a clip of Battlefield just after Briggs made his Merlin/wizard remark.
Marcus Wilson says that the Seventh Doctor was more than just a Time Lord. A reference to a line that was said by the Seventh Doctor to Davros in a deleted scene of Remembrance of the Daleks and since it is a deleted scene it did not get shown in this episode of The Doctors Revisited.
Thanks to Wilson pointing it out this episode presents well how Mel being with the Doctor when he regenerated from Sixth to Seventh handled the change of Doctor to the audience.
As the Doctor is someone who abhors violence this episode points out that the Seventh Doctor delegated the violence to Ace something that is emphasised by showing the scenes of him asking Ace to give him the Nitro-9 that she doesn’t have.
Pretty good in the presentation of the Rani, Davros and the Daleks in the Famous Foes segment.
As Steven Moffat pointed out the darkness of the Seventh Doctor has maintained the mysteriousness of the Doctor in general with Wilson stating that it is the Seventh who has provided the template of the development of the “new” series Doctors.
