It really made me wish that we had gotten more (well, any really) televised episodes with him. The movie was . . . well, it was Doctor Who, just not what I was looking for. But this, this was.
Haven't rewatched the TV movie since it's first airing, so can't comment on that! I'm pretty sure a Sheriden Smith & Paul McGann TV series would have been hugely popular, but the writing on the audio series is imho better than anything in new-Who. For anyone reading this thinking "what's he on about?" more than usual - BBC Radio 4 Extra are repeating several 8th Doctor adventures soon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03hy1xw/episodes/guide and http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pwg2t they're also playing "Lucie Miller" - which is a great story, but not one I'd recommend for someone coming to the characters new.
