Davison Not Expecting 50th Return

5th Doctor, Peter Davison has said that he isn’t ruling out returning for Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary, but would be very surprised if he was asked back again.

“I feel no need to turn my back on it, but I don’t feel like it’s the kind of thing they’d do,” he told BANG Showbiz. “I’d be very surprised if they tried to do anything involving the old Doctors because it always takes a slight stretch of the imagination anyway to figure out why the previous Doctors look older, but I’m sure that can be done.

“But at the same time I’m not sort of longing on it. I’m perfectly happy to have played my part to go back to ‘Time Crash’. I don’t feel like I’m hanging on a phone call from the ‘Doctor Who’ offices saying let’s do something special.”

He adds: “Unfortunately, there are less and less Doctors around to bring back. Maybe I can be in it without never having do any work and just turn up so they can take my image. Maybe the characters can into a computer and become animations – that would be good. It could be like ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘The Simpsons’ or something.”
