And even now, 25 years on, McCoy revealed he still tunes in from time to time.
Series 13 of Doctor Who is set to premiere this year, after creators announced a 10 month long filming hike had begun in November 2020.
Jodie Whittaker currently stars as the 13th Doctor, the first female lead to take over the role.
But like her many predecessors, the 38-year-old told bosses she intends to stick to the traditional rule of leaving after three stints in the TARDIS and revealed she will step down at the end of series 13.
McCoy admitted that at first, he wasn t sure about the casting of a female in a male dominated role, but his concerns vanished after five minutes of watching her.

“He went, ‘If you don’t do the fourth year, you won’t do the third year.’
