Doctor Who - Discussion Thread III (no untagged future spoilers)

No, you knew that 'a press source had leaked' and therefore it was likely. It has now been officially announced

Not particularly, I'm concerned about Capaldi. I'd struggle with half expecting him to swear every other word
I'd rather like it to be someone unexpected and relatively unknown, like Matt was


If there had to be a female doctor, then I could see Tamsin doing very well, but I'd prefer it to stick to being a male doctor. I'd love to see her as a companion though. I imagine it would be on the Doctor Donna level

She definitely made Black Books. I could see her being a good transition into the idea of a female Doctor, like you say she would be able to command authority well

Olivia Coleman?

Do you think they might finally show the 50th special trailer during this live show? Seems like a decent opportunity I guess, how long will the show be?

She does have a wonderful other-wordly quality to her sometimes and she can pull off any clothes they give her.






I do love Rory Kinnear but he's already quashed all rumours that it's going to be him sadly. I'm not sure how good he would be though, I like him in things like Count Arthur Strong where he's a sort of blundering middle class englishman who thinks the most important thing in the world is people thinking he's a 'nice guy'. I can't really see him running around and punching daleks in the face.





*waves* Hello new people, 'tis always wonderful to see more fellow fans Why not introduce yourselves a bit? Favourite doctors/eps etc, all that fun stuff.

I am also a huge fan! I don't want a female Doctor, but if we have to have one then she'd do a good job. She's a fantastic actor.

I love how they still called it 'BREAKING NEWS' even though it's been going round the fan sites for hours Nice to have it confirmed though, I was half suspecting this all to be a ruse by Moffat to get us all excited, then they'd show an old Cash in the Attic or something. Moffat is the ultimate troll.

Anyone know what time the special programme is on Sunday?

Hello *Waves back* Well my favourite is probably Matt Smith simply because of the story lines that have accompanied him eg Amy Pond and Riversong. My favourite episodes have been Amy's choice/The time of Angels and Flesh and Stone. My favourite/creepiest alien is probably the Weeping angels *shivers* DID ANYBODY SEE THAT THE NEW DOCTOR IS GOING TO BE REVEALED LIVE ON BBC THIS WEEKEND AFSBFKFNFJFKCNFJFKFJ

Olivia Coleman was in Green Wing with her, she plays comedy and drama really, really well. She was in Hot Fuzz as the female policeman so perhaps you know her from there?



She just sorts of radiates happy feels but as soon as she 'switches' you're pretty sure she could knock your block off.(I don't know why but while google image searching I got Sean Bean in drag with a blonde wig... I would also approve of that being the new Doctor. The fan rage would be bliss).

Pedant! I pedant I say!

You should see him in his breakout role in Local Hero He's adorable, has a fairly innocent crush and looks after an injured bunny, it's rather... Conflicting.

I hope they're unknown so long as I actually know them and can then act all hipster-y I would certainly settle for her being a companion but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept Clara going sadly and companions are usually a fair bit younger.

THey better I'm so angry that they haven't put it online not even for the UK where our tax like pays for the show and I've been checking Dr Who news most days and somehow missed this info today lol Will be watching that then-how long is the live show?

Oh right, I know of her, just not be name. Seen her in Green Wing & Hot Fuzz

She's been in Doctor Who already though. I mean that's not unprecedented (Martha and Amy for instance) but I can't see them using someone whose already been in it as the Doctor

*sigh* I've missed more DW than I thought then, I seemed to have bailed out before it got back going. Darn younger me and my indifference to science fiction.

Also I need to stop spelling her name wrong *cough* *Colman

Not a pedant!
Merely confirming for the masses that Moffat was not going to change his mind because of rumours. As FFFF said, he is the ultimate troll

I'm sure that if it is him I'd eventually learn to cope. I'd just be confused when he got angry and started shouting...

I was like that with Matt Smith, having watched Party Animals
I was a supporter of his right from the very beginning

It was only officially announced just after midnight. It's been circulating on various websites and forums for a bit longer though, and it'll be at 7pm on Sunday 4th August, and half an hour. The link to the page with info about it is in my post with the twitter announcement.

Never going to happen but Gary Oldman could be superb.

Yeah, that was what threw me when I tried to Google her

Oh right, I know of her, just not be name. Seen her in Green Wing & Hot Fuzz

She's been in Doctor Who already though. I mean that's not unprecedented (Martha and Amy for instance) but I can't see them using someone whose already been in it as the Doctor

Colin Baker was in an earlier episode of Who before he took of the title role, he actually tried to kill The Doctor in his previous appearance.

So many Whovians rooting for Peter Capaidi
