A few Capaldi era thoughts:

If Capaldi’s Doctor isn’t at least a bit dry, snippy and sardonic I shall be disappointed. Not to typecast him, I know how versatile he is, but snarky Doctor would be fun!

Mating […]

@Bluesqueakpip lol 🙂

It was a toe-curlingly amateur event, but for all that there was a sweet slow drama.

Smithy could barely look at the camera. He’s obviously going through tremendous emotion putting the […]

@Phaseshift  13 millon eh? Oh, some dodgy alien bar will take ’em – wheeeeee, that purple liquid goes well with this tooth medication! 🙂

@Osakahatter I hear the writing for Hannibal is excellent, but the […]

@Shazzbot

Alex Kingston facing off against Peter Capaldi.  C’mon, doesn’t that sound like the most magnificent OK Corral moment?

Oh I’d definitely watch that 🙂

Yes I do hope we will cross Kingston’s River’s […]

@JimtheFish Oh, there’s a doll of Levine with pins in it somewhere on Moff’s desk, for sure!

@Osakahatter

And I can’t picture PC doing the Last of the TimeLords angst – I reckon he’ll either have come to terms […]

@Bluesqueakpip I agree – it was a mess and definitely hasty leak-control.

It was sort of an endearing (and very British) mess. It really reminded me of 1970s tele (unfortunately, it reminded me somewhat of […]

@Craig – nice work already 🙂

Peter Capaldi is definitely an interesting choice for Who. He is both a forwards and backwards looking Doctor at this 50th year, deliberately the last in a cycle of 13 […]

Twitter is already looking forward to being able to overdub Malcolm Tucker dialogue onto Twelfth Doctor scenes for small children to find unwittingly on YouTube. For shame! 🙂

I wonder what Linda Lee will make […]

Had a quick look on Tumblr to see the reception there (for anyone unfamiliar, it’s a blogging social media site frequented by teen and twenty-something fans, in particular lots of US fans. BBC Worldwide blogs on […]

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 […]

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.

Here we go <SPOILERS>…….

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

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

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…

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 […]

Smithy said “he” of his successor…

@chickenelly I’m watching through my fingers 🙂

Eee I remember Zoe Ball’s Dad on Blue Peter…

@Phaseshift – thanks for the tooth commiseration 🙂

*See* you for the live blog tonight! You will have to have a tipple for me, as apparently that’s a bad plan after a gnasher divestiture.

I’m sure those in […]

@GothamCelt Yes, all time-loops welcome. I’m still really up for David Warner playing the first Doc…

Hello everyone! <waves at all> Thanks for missing me @ScaryB and @Craig et al. I’ve just had a wisdom tooth […]
