HE’S LETTING HIS COMPANION TURN A DIAL WITH HER DELICATE LADY HANDS!!!! 

EMBROIDERED WAISTCOAT, ROGUE CURL STRAYING FROM HIS COIFFURE, AND HIS SLEEPY MARK RUFFALO EYES ARE CALLING ME INTO THE PHONE BOOTH

HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DELIGHT AND WEIRDLY HOTASS HOTASSNESS THAT IS PAUL MCGANN, DUDE. HOW. HOWWWWWW.

HE DOES THE CRAVAT THING FAIRLY OFTEN ACTUALLY:

As well as rocking the long hair with delicate glossy curls that in no way detract from his amazingly androgynous yet manly yet gentle yet powerful gaze:

And he was also in a little movie called Withnail & I like TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO and he and Richard E. Grant have creepily not aged at all:

Oh and my favorite part about him which sadly is hard to link to but is the fact that you’d expect him to have this kind of nice tenor voice or something, but NOPE he’s got this basso profundo husband material voice that grinds out of, I don’t even know, maybe his toes or maybe out of the center of the Earth’s molten core, it’s like any minute now he’s going to bust out a Shakespearean monologue and you’d totally be okay with that because he could probably get you off with the St. Crispin’s Day speech. JUST SAYIN’.

As far as I can tell his sin was being the Doctor who starred in a fairly mediocre - and AMERICAN - TV-movie version of Dr. Who in ‘96 that was supposed to spur a TV show, but for whatever reason (I think a combo of ratings, rights, and the UK freaking out over the idea of Dr. Who being made in the US) the show never happened. So that TV movie is all we get of Eight, aside from the tie-in novels (of which I may have read all of them. Spoilers: I read all of them). It had some greatness, like Grace the Age-Appropriate-Seeming Companion (as opposed to some wispy 19-year-old) and Chang Lee the Good-Hearted Sort-of-Criminal-But-His-Heart’s-In-The-Right-Place, and oh my god ERIC FUCKING ROBERTS as the Master, just chewing every piece of scenery he could get his hands on and being fucking hilarious. But sadly, not enough greatness for us to get McGann instead of Eccleston (who I love! but like, I could’ve done with a few years of Eight before moving on to NIne), even though apparently Moffat was inspired by McGann’s performance as Eight and thought it was cool. WHATEVER, still bitter after all these years.

Basically McGann is the George Lazenby of the Dr. Who franchise but he is still gr11 and weirdly beautiful and I have seen an embarrassing amount of his back catalogue because of that weirdly beautiful face.

If you are not already in love with him after these comments – and you damned well should be – you could just listen to him sing.

[therothwoman]

Watching all these people flooding into the discovery of Paul McGann and Eight is both a beautiful and hilarious thing to watch.

[smooth-mccrimmonal]

Like dude, he’s been here the whole time. We’ve been here the whole time.

[treewizarded]

this is a good post but i’m also laughing really hard at “basso profundo husband material voice” because it is 100% actual fact and a complete panty-dropper when you hear it irl

[pride1289-blog-blog]

not only could you be listening to him singing you could be listening to him be the Doctor in that “basso profundo husband material voice” directly in your ears for hours 

[greenleaf9]

This post makes me so happy.

• Doctor: “Perspective. I’m told it’s a wonderful view. No, I mean it. I really hoped it would be a wonderful view. To look back from the end of everything. To see how things finally turn out. I was looking for hope.”

[lokiandblue]

Gosh. I have a crush on the Eighth Doctor/Paul McGann. Sorry for the spam. Not really sorry.

[theheroheart]

Why did no one ever tell me about Paul McGann's really smooth voice? *breathes heavily*

We’ve been trying!

[suecollins]

is it just me or Paul McGann is still bloody attractive to this day

[brosephine-grant]

I remember some people on tumblr saying that they had friends who were trying to remain unspoiled for who would be playing Twelve until Christmas.  Now I can’t help wondering if they succeeded, only to be totally surprised by some random pair of eyebrows in Day of the Doctor.
