Why the 8th Doctor?

There are Doctor Who websites everywhere: doctorwhonews.net, tardisnewsroom & kasterborous.com to name only a few. In all the websites on the World Wide Web, there are no websites devoted to the 8th Doctor. Sadly the Paul McGann Doctor has received little press mostly because he had only one TV appearance. But the 8th Doctor has lived on beyond the FOX movie. He has had adventures in a range of books and not to mention the Big Finish Audio Series (which this website counts as Doctor Who Cannon). The 8th Doctor is as much apart of series history as any of the other actors who played the part. So I ask: Why not the 8th Doctor.

Mary Shelley

In June 1816, Shelley encountered the Eighth Doctor and witnessed him apparently coming back to life after being dead, providing inspiration for Frankenstein. Shelley then left with the Doctor and travelled with him for an unknown period of time. A Company of Friends

Hours after leaving Lake Geneva, the Doctor took Mary to Vienna on 11 September 1873, where they encountered two Cybermen. The Silver Turk

During her travels with the Doctor, Mary met Axons and King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. A Company of Friends

After her encounter with the Bone Lord, Mary decided to leave the Doctor's company as she feared his other companion death. Army of Death

The chronological order of Mary's encounters with the Doctor in 1816 from her point of view is not known.

The Eighth Doctor had a copy of Shelley's Frankenstein in his TARDIS library, inscribed to him by her. The Doctor read the preface aloud, and mentioned that what Shelley wrote wasn't the entire truth about what happened. Storm Warning
