Poor Ricky Grant. First of all he's the Doctor in Curse of Fatal Death. Oh, but it's unofficial.
Then - wahey! - he's the new Official Ninth Doctor! Oh, but sorry old chap, you're not canon either.
But he might play the TV Doctor! Only Eccleston got that.
But he might play the tenth one! Oh, Tennant got that.
Poor man. Sucks to be REG.
Great movie this was. Or rubbish. Depends on what forum I'm on.

He was freaking cool.
shareI concur.
shareI think that REG should be the 11th Doctor after David Tennant - isn't it about time for a slightly older, more refined Doctor?! He is so incredibly perfect for the role...
sharehe was very very good, but i'm unsure if he should be the 11th!

After re-watching it again, I think the Grant would make a great “flesh” doctor. But I really hope that Tennant will stay for a long time!!!!!

Yep, the BBC *beep* him over good, but then, they always *beep* people over. This is no longer ''Canon A'' (e.g. the line of Doctors we have been following on TV) but he does exist in ''Canon B'' (a different dimension in which the Richard E. Grant Doctor exists instead of Eccleston) because the BBC was so thoughtless and uncaring.
Well, the BBC only use DW for profit. Infact they stole the franchise away from Virgin, a company run by a man who loved the show and wanted to save it after it was canceled, and then had the cheek to try and de-canonize the Virgin novels! The BBC are just money hungry suits.
Infact, the revived series was just a project for Russell T. Davis, the BBC didn't care about the show; this is the reason the budget on the latest season was cut.

Well said Angantyr King! I have been saying the same for ages as well, as you know.
To be honest I take the Virgin Novels and REG as canon over the rubbish new series anyway.
"Nothings gonna change my world!"
I do and don't, sadly, unless I can. Actually, I pretty much just retcon contradictions in either so, yeah, I take the better stuff in the NAs. 'REG', I do not think of as canon in the sense that it is the universe that the series follows, regardless of anything better.
"Namu-myoho-renge-kyo"
The whole concept of canon is pointless in my opinion. If you want to consider Richard E. Grant as an official Doctor no-one can stop you. A series with a storyline as flexible as Doctor Who makes virtually anything possible with a little tweaking.
shareThe BBC have been screwing the show since the Colin Baker era... poor Colin (and, to a lesser extent, Sylvester).
