Paul McGann (2’18”): Sylvester McCoy talking him through what to expect, what the fans can expect, the convenience of the regeneration concept, the character of the Master and the US fanbase.**

Eric Roberts (1’00”): How melodramatic the character is**, being a little boy all over again* and his history watching the show.

Geoffey Sax (1’59”): The quality of the effects and the script, the concept of the series and the film’s plot**, why Doctor Who has been so popular, what Paul McGann will bring to it, the marvel of Daphne Ashbrook, the comedy and reaching out to a wider audience.

Philip Segal (2’18”): The difference between the old and new show**, the icons**, the scifi show vs the love story**, the show’s legion of fans* and Fox being the best place to resurrect the series*.
