The Next Doctor

[Anonymous @]

@chickenelly – the funniest thing in the G’s liveblog (writer: Stuart Heritage) is that he has a link to a ‘BBC URL’ and the page is titled ‘Stuart Heritage is the next Doctor’ (although the rest of the page is blank).

What a wit.  Thank goodness we have @phaseshift here instead!

[HolyMackerel @holymackerel]

The god fish is here! I am so excited.   chickenel it is not wrong and I don’t think it is BBC LE at its worst either. I’m sure there has been very much worse put out by I tend to avoid it…

 

[Anonymous @]

@whisht – you are awesomely funny.  🙂

[Whisht @whisht]

oh shit – Bonnie Langford is the next Doctor Who

#ohshitbonnielangfordisthenextdrwho

[HolyMackerel @holymackerel]

Shazzbot This is where I’m glad I’ve got more than one device. I can be on the guardian live blog and this site at the same time.

[Whisht @whisht]

ah – its not a female Doctor then…. ah well

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Smithy said “he” of his successor…

[Anonymous @]

Hey, can onyone describe the kid from Outnumbered?  Surely he’s ‘all grown up now’ (copyright The Daily Mail Sidebar, albeit usually only regarding girls).

[Anonymous @]

I have to admit, I was one of those people who thought Matt was too young for the role. Oh how wrong I was. I will really miss him.

[Anonymous @]

I require more details everyone!  I can’t see it and you can.  What’s going on?!?

[Craig @craig Emperor]

@Shazzbot Just a few interviews and clips from the past so far

[chickenelly @chickenelly]

Bernard and Peter Davison apart, bargain basement ‘celebrities’ all round!

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Hi @Shazzbot – sorry I didn’t realise you couldn’t see!

At the moment it’s not very live – lots of recorded talking heads – ex companions and UK TV luminaries talking about their fave Docs interspersed with clips of them…

Now we’ve gone live to Bernard Cribbins, a total cutie as ever…

[Anonymous @]

@shazzbot They’re doing a “Talking Heads” bit at the mo. Katy Manning, Jenna Coleman amongst them.

Update:- Bernard Cribbins is on.  Yey

[Rob @rob]

blah blah blah

get on with it Auntie 😉

[Whisht @whisht]

@Shazzbot – rufus hound no longer has facial hair.

Just keeping you in the loop

[Anonymous @]

Well, Stuart Heritage over at the G finally said something amusing:

 

Now for a celebrity talking heads package. Like the I Love The 70s shows, remember? Let’s call this one I Love Not Finding Out Who The New Doctor Is, Even Though That’s Literally The Only Reason Why I Tuned Into This Flipping Thing Anyway.

[Whisht @whisht]

@Shazzbot – Bernard Cribbens still has facial hair

[Rob @rob]

Great T-shirt Rufus

Keep Calm

and

Don’t Regenerate

[Anonymous @]

@whisht – I’m a little in love with you.  😆

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Ten mins to go… aren’t we supposed to be getting an interview with the new guy (gal)?

Zoe Ball says we are getting closer and now there’s a Moff pre-recorded clip paying tribute to Smithy…

[Whisht @whisht]

@shazzbot – Zoe Ball only has the faintest of facial hair.

[HolyMackerel @holymackerel]

I fancy Rufus Hound 100% less without his facial hair. Sorry for the objectification but he’s gone from looking like a naughty boy in the best way to I wouldn’t know him if I tripped over him.

[Anonymous @]

@shazzbot – now showing a recorded interview with The Moff

[TardisBlue @tardisblue]

)(@#Y(*YO%$a^&o*o*o*o*o* P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not Moffat that lies.

It’s BBCAmerica.

Here on the West Coast they are *NOT*

I repeat with rising indignation and fury

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

simulcasting it.

We’re getting !0 and Wilf and Rasillon and the Master for the next 2 1/2 hours.

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Moffat is teasing us (he is saying “person”). Hawking says he’d like a woman and now Moff is teasing us with that…

[Whisht @whisht]

hm – older definitely – Capaldi possibly!

[Anonymous @]

PC – oh yes love it

[chickenelly @chickenelly]

Hooray!!!!!!

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Here we go <SPOILERS>…….

Peter Capaldi it is!!!!!! Cue swearing? 🙂

[Craig @craig Emperor]

Wooo hoooo

[Rob @rob]

Peter Capaldi!!!!!

[Whisht @whisht]

capaldi more than possibly

[Bluesqueakpip @bluesqueakpip]

Peter Capaldi! That’s going to be fantastic!

 

[chickenelly @chickenelly]

I’d have been disappointed if it wasn’t after all that build up.

[HolyMackerel @holymackerel]

Peter Capalidi! Very happy with that

[Arkleseizure @arkleseizure]

YES!!!!! IT IS!!!!! BRILLIANT CHOICE!!!!!!!

[Anonymous @]

@craig – is it time to remove the question mark from this Topic’s name?

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Still not ginger….

Still not a woman…

Can we at least get Capaldi in drag?

I’m happy they’ve gone older again…

That’s a lot of the Doc’s regenerations with curly hair.

[Whisht @whisht]

well that’s a fucking gangbang of a revelation with tissues and .. oh , no, thou shalt not do this meme…

[Bluesqueakpip @bluesqueakpip]

Ooh, I’m so happy. Brilliant choice 😉

[Anonymous @]

Hey guys – I love you all for keeping me up to date – and @whisht, the facial hair updates were fantastic – but aren’t they showing the trailer now?!

[Craig @craig Emperor]

@Shazzbot still interviewing Capaldi

[HTPBDET @htpbdet]

He is an excellent actor so the potential is there!

Best of all he, simply by his age and gravitas, can take it to new territory.

[Juniperfish @juniperfish]

Capaldi is talking now (they dug up a Doctor Who fan letter he wrote to the Radio Times as a 15 year old). He’s being terribly sweet and modest and has promised to drop the language.

Now Matt is sending Peter a pre-recorded message saying good luck and he’s looking forward to him in the role…

Zoe is wrapping it up!

Live-blogging @phaseshift is MIA

[Rob @rob]

Welllll I think a good choice

 

[Bluesqueakpip @bluesqueakpip]

But no trailer…

 

[Anonymous @]

What??? Still no trailer!!!

[chickenelly @chickenelly]

No trailer, booooh.

Oh well at least we got Capaldi.  I might just go and watch a couple of episodes of the Thick of It to celebrate.

[Craig @craig Emperor]

Argh still no trailer…
