message: The "Scratch the Victorian veneer" line is misquoted and misattributed. The line is "Scratch the Victorian veneer, and something nasty'll come crawling out", and is spoken by Ace, not the Doctor. --62.254.0.32 23:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

message: While tidying up the references and moving them to cite.php format, I replaced a link to McCoy's IMDb bio, because IMDb isn't generally considered a reliable source for biographic information.  (They're good for credits, but their biographies and trivia sections can be iffy at times.)  Unfortunately, the only source I could find online for McCoy's youth in Dublin isn't much better.  If anyone has a print source that mentions this (perhaps the Seventh Doctor Handbook, or a DWM interview?), please replace the "Sci Fi Cruises" website with a better reference.  Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "He's a scottish actor" is said in the opening.
"Irish mother, english father, raised in Dublin" is said slightly later on.
How is he scottish?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robin.lemstra (talk • contribs) 13:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: McCoys Doctor was so bad that Grade cancelled the show, 'permanently' in 1989.
It came back in 2005 with a sooo much better portrayal by Eccleston.
Smith took it back to its silly ways. 
Capaldi will hopefully take it away from being a kids show.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.29.40 (talk) 22:30, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: I saw McCoy in a Young Vic production of [Caucasian Chalk Circle], many years ago.
In the mid 80s, from what I recall.
Is there any chance someone could dig up a reference To that, and add it to this article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuddy2977 (talk • contribs) 17:23, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

message: I saw a version of The Caucasian Chalk Circle, many years ago: at the Young Vic … I think!
It stuck in my mind, as Sylvester McCoy played Azdak.
Can someone find a reference to this version and include it, somehow?   I’m having no luck!

message: The article says McCoy read a version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Jackanory.
But, according to [] article, the story was read by Elaine Stritch.
Is it possible to get that cleaned up?
