Sylvester McCoy did n’t just wear the most question marks of any Doctor — he also played the role the longest . A British game show incorrectly claim that David Tennant played the function for longer than McCoy , lead to a recount .
According to the Daily Mail , the secret plan show Million Pound Drop asked contestants which actor had played the Doctor for longest : McCoy , Tennant , Paul McGann , or Christopher Eccleston :
A husband and wife team , Johnny and Dee , decide to cleave their £ 650,000 between McCoy and McGann , but the host told them they were wrong — David Tennant wreak the Doctor for longer than either of those two . The two were disqualify and lose all their money — but afterwards , fan called the programme to kvetch . McCoy play the character from 1987 to 1989 , and then recapitulate the role in 1996 — making him technically the longest - serving Doctor . McGann , meanwhile , was the Doctor from 1996 to 2005 , if you count all the audio plays he recorded during the clip the show was off the zephyr . ( And the question say nothing about toy the Doctor on television , just play the Dr. . ) Tennant , meanwhile , only played the Doctor from 2005 to early 2010 .
So in reality I think Johnny and Dee should have have to keep all £ 650,000 , since McCoy and McGann played the function for about nine twelvemonth each . The duo returns to the program , with their money reinstated , this weekend . [ Daily Mail ]
