Wishing a very happy birthday to the Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann. #DoctorWho
@BigJackBrass Oh yes, a great actor. The TV Movie offered a tantalising glimpse into what might've been, and I really enjoyed the 8th Doctor novels that followed during the wilderness years of Dr Who.
@paulbowler His work for Big Finish was some of the best they've put out.
@paulbowler I'm so glad we've had so many great Eight Doctor audios, thanks to Big Finish. I haven't yet read any of the Eight Doctor adventures from BBC Books but they're definitely on my list and I have "the Eight Doctors" ready to read in my book player app. I'm one of those people who also feels that Mcgann should now be considered the ninth Doctor; it bugs me that the War Doctor never gets counted. Then again, with what we now know about the Timeless Child, Mcgann could well be the 87th Doctor, for all we know. #DoctorWho
@DavidGoldfield I agree. I've listened to some of the Big Finish 8th Doctor stories and enjoyed those. I really liked the 8th Doctor BBC Novels though, there were some fantastic stories there. I'm sure you'll enjoy as well, the 8 Doctor's is a great place to start and you've got a wealth of adventures to discover in that range as well.

Even if you count the War Doctor, Paul McGann is still the Eighth Doctor, as he comes before John Hurt's War Doctor, who is technically the ninth incarnation of the Doctor, not counting the Timeless Children Doctors.
@konradical_dumo @paulbowler You're absolutely right about the numbering of the Doctors. Thanks for setting me straight. 
@DavidGoldfield @paulbowler
You're welcome! I'll take any chance to get nerdy about continuity.
@konradical_dumo @DavidGoldfield Exactly, it all slots into the overall continuity. I always liked how flexible Dr Who is in that way.
