On a lighter note, reading a few of the many, many comments on the many, many, many internet articles on who should be the next Doctor put me in mind of this clip. The Second Doctor gets the chance to select his […]

Not particularly looking for a fight on this, but I’ve not said anything about the potential for a female Doctor. I’ve written before and said how I’d trial the idea in a kind of Mind-Robber/Dream Lord type Doctor […]

I knew someone would have beaten me to it @craig 😀

@Mephistopheles

Loved Joe in Misfits and This is England, but I really couldn’t see him as The Doctor (love the picture though).

@bluesqueakpip

I’m not sure about the contractual arrangements. Tennant said he signed a three year deal before “Rose” had been broadcast. It had a termination clause if the revival hadn’t taken off. I think […]

Our “voice of youth” Lindalee has spoken.

How she feels about Matt Smith leaving, what she’s enjoyed and her choice to be the next Doctor.

Colin […]

@Chickenelly

In know what you mean. I kind of hoped that, at the end of the series and with all the Doctors featured in the final, the BBC would have taken the opportunity to start showing some old stuff, the […]

Ahhhh – those Australians know how to throw an early party. This is some footage from the event @bobbingbird was hoping to go to. It certainly looks the part and works as a nice little tribute to Matt Smith.

I […]

Someone else likes Damian Molony as well. Digital Spy have a “who should play the 12th Doctor” article up and he’s in it. Didn’t realise he wanted the role:

“The Doctor is one of the most iconic parts for an […]

A bit more of a conventional choice perhaps, but fits in with the idea of someone with a lower profile, when I was watching the last series of “Being Human”, I thought Damien Molony (who played vampire Hal) would […]

I’ve said before I’d love to see Chiwetel Ejiofor in the role. He was asked about it on the Andrew Marr show in 2011 if he would be tempted back from the US by the role and basically smiled and didn’t rule it out. […]

Tom Baker was my Doctor in this reality, but in the realm of imagination Alec Guiness scored big time. Growing up in the 70s we didn’t have the merchandising frenzy we have today. It was all a bit more sedate, […]

@Craig

You’re on form tonight! I need to do some thinking now about nominations!

@blenkinsopthebrave @craig

Perhaps a new page for us to speculate on…”The next Doctor?”

This really demands to be done, don’t you think?

For now, and from me, he was the Doctor who brought the magic back […]

I’m sad hearing this news. But that is good. Sadness at the end of a Doctor is a sign of true success. My gods, Matt Smith made the Doctor his role, on his own terms with an uncompromising turn, with an […]

@shazzbot

He could certainly go into that territory at times.

Mostly though it was just the aching sense of self-satisfaction unrestrained that made him so unlikeable. Here is his introductory scene (prior […]

@DanMartinUK s article for River Song day is up at the Guardian

@ScaryB

That is top quality footage of Baker as Bayban. Blakes 7 was a show which easily accomodated over-the-top scenery chewing. I actually like that episode “City at the Edge of the World” a lot, mainly […]
