      Yes this exactly!!!
      I wish they would remake a few lost episodes with him.

          The only problem I have with the new guy playing Hartnell is he seems to be playing Hartnell from the Three Doctors.

          Same thing in Adventures of Space and Time.

          Hartnell's Doctor was a relatively spry and chipper guy with a great wit.

          This new guy seems to make Hartnell look like he's totally out of it.

          Anybody else notice this ?

            Hmmm. I barely recall some Hartnell episodes I saw while in college (bee people I think?), but he seemed sort of wry and avuncular. I don't recall his characterization in The Three Doctors at all except as a cameo. Wasn't he ill? Seems a shame to base new portrayals on that.

              Yeah, William Hartnell was ill during the production of The Three Doctors. The original script featured him a lot more, but it was eventually revised to just a few brief appearances because of his poor health at the time.

              In The Five Doctors, he was played by Richard Hurndall who portrayed him in a more sprightly way.

                Thank you, Bruce. I haven't see Bradley's interpretation, but he sure looks the part.

                Has they ever tried recasting the Second Doctor? I've seen Troughton in many things, but never as the Doctor.

                  They got Reece Shearsmith to portray him briefly in the docu-drama "An Adventure in Space and Time" alongside David Bradley... but that's about it, as far as I know.

                    What about the Tenth Doctor and Rose? That was Russell T. And then before that there's the Eighth Doctor movie.

                      Compared to this newer guy I think Richard Hurndall was right on the money.

                      For best audio Hartnell, check out this guy ... (FF to 1:20)

                        He's very good, Mikey. It's also wonderful to see Carol Anne Ford and William Russell still at it.

                        As for Jodi...I love this change. I hope she does well and I hope the writing improves. I felt part of the problems with Capaldi's seasons was the writing.
