Moff could write and show that, but I rather hope he doesnt. If he wants to show the first Doctor regeneration then in my opinion he should use the original footage (adding some colour if he must).

Except that aside from the seconds of the regeneration itself, none of that footage exists any longer. I wouldn’t blame Moffat if he wanted to…[Read more]

So presumably the Xmas character cast will include (As well as Polly & Dr 1) Ben, General Cutler, Doctor Barclay & a (new) old Cyberman…

Genek I had assumed it was Capaldi because Ben & Polly were outside when the Doctor collapsed (and I have the…[Read more]

So we can expect to see this scene at Christmas…

And perhaps a variation on this one…

I think I’d prefer they used the original footage (colourised and cgi the glow effect if they must for the modern day general audience).

One thing no one seems to have commented on regarding the trailer is the apparent Polly footage with Capaldi Doctor. I’ll be interested to see what they do, but it seems plausible that…[Read more]

Ha ha that is so funny and so true! Yes, I kept watching too!

there’s one more now!

I’d prefer to see Jodie play a Doctor who is female (rather than a female Doctor). Whilst I don’t think the gender element should be down played, I do think the essentials of the doctor’s character and behaviour should remain essentially the same. I think the point of having a gender change character should be to show…[Read more]

@genek1953                    I’m glad it isn’t !    We’ll see ?

DALEK: You are a Time Lord?
MISSY: Time Lady, thank you. Some of us can afford the upgrade.

However, I actually think it may be a good time to ditch the Time Lord/Lady terminology altogether, as it’s not just the gender of the term that’s the issue. The modern connotations of “Lord”…[Read more]

I dont see any reason why which Lord shouldn’t be genderless if that’s what Chibnall wants.

If you want to be very specific (in terms of British peerages etc), then Lord is actually used as short hand form instead of the correct title (Duke, Count and the female equivalent Duchess, Countess etc). Traditionally wives of Lords…[Read more]

I read an interview that Peter Capaldi did (which I can no longer find or I’d post it) where he said he was playing the Doctor exactly as he thought a 2,000 year old alien would be. I can understand and accept his vision and that he has delivered exactly that. RTD and Chris Eccleston, followed by David Tennant had there own conception,…[Read more]

I’m looking forward to seeing what Chibnall’s 5 year plan looks like too. I think they have to feature the Daleks annually, but apart from them, I think we should expect to see fewer recently created Monsters for a while. I expect Chris will want the chance to do his own team’s ideas (at least at first).

It sort of made sense to me that he might get progressively younger as he regenerated, as if each regeneration also pushed him slightly back in age.. if that makes any sense.   Culminating in Matt Smith being the youngest to play The Doctor.     Does it ma…[Read more]
