Was far more pissed off about whatever fuckwitt let "i'm half human" into the script.
Mcgann was sold short, he's an amazing Doc in the audio plays.
He was brilliant. Errie that Richard E. Grant played him for a bit.
Fave Doc was always Sylvester. Rememberance of the Daleks is a classic.
From Wilkipedia:
Although the Doctor has stated that he is not from Earth, nothing in the television series explicitly states that the Doctor does not have any human heritage. The Daleks have identified him as "more than human" (The Evil of the Daleks), and when the TARDIS returns the dying Third Doctor to Earth in Planet of the Spiders, the Doctor says that it brought him "home". These and other hints are vague enough for some fans to argue that the Doctor may have some human elements in his makeup, and that Earth is his real home, or at the very least he considers it to be his real home. In addition, the Doctor's family background has never been explored in the series beyond the fact that he travelled for a time with his granddaughter, and an occasional reference to other relatives. Considering that in the film the Doctor claims that he can change species when he regenerates, some fans speculate that only his eighth incarnation may be half-human. A popular theory is that the half-human DNA is left over from a time when the Seventh Doctor was masquerading as a human named John Smith (in the Virgin New Adventures novel Human Nature by Paul Cornell, published in 1995). Recently, in the Ninth Doctor Adventures novel Only Human (2005), the Doctor stated that his DNA was "close" to that of humans.
