No one is worried about this except for people who want to manufacture a controversy.
If swearing's all he can bring to a role, then I for one can't wait to see Capaldi's take on Cardinal Richelieu in the Musketeers adaptation!
New Doctor to be revealed on Sunday
- Thread starter Pindar
- Start date

I really didn't mean to start anything, nor was I upset by it. I was just making a comment about the video. (of course getting the wrong accent didnt help).
Sadly, I don't think we'll ever get that wish (or Eddie Izzard), but I'm still overwhelmed with shock and joy that Peter Capaldi was chosen. I actually convinced myself that there was no chance he was the one.
Yeah how that turned out. Worst dam President ever.
Just yankin' your chain.
Malcolm Tucker may be Capaldi's best-known role to date, and he's great in The Thick of It, but it's hardly representative of his acting range. Personally, I have no concerns on that front, and can't wait to see what he can do with the role. If there's any concern at all then it's that the quality of the scripts are up to the level that Capaldi can carry.
So a kid's like "Who's this new Doctor?" and then they look him up, they'll find him yelling the words fuck and cunt copiously.
There's never been a bad actor in the role. Sure, some better than others, but no bad actors. What makes or breaks a Doctor is the writing.
It could work
Won't...someone think of the...children?
Still not seeing a problem. Just explain that the Doctor is played by a gentleman that did other jobs that aren't appropriate for children to watch, but it's okay to enjoy watching him play the Doctor.
Who even actually said that, about the US not being ready for a black President? I never heard it. Besides which, he's not even black. Ben Carson, we'll see how he does.
I lived in Texas during the 2008 election. Trust me, a lot of people were saying exactly that.
Is this a joke? If not, the racism in that post is astonishing as you're saying, "look what happens when you elect a minority."
Oh my god Mary Whitehouse was right! - John Hurt was in Caligula! plus a film where he played a practing homosexualist - We must close the internet immediately for the sake of the children.
Shit, I just fucking thought of something: 11(12) sort of implied in "The Doctor's Wife" that him and the Corsair might have had some fun. The Corsair was a timelord that switched genders...so yeah...that could mean 11(12) got it on with a man, that became a woman, that became a man again.
The "think of the children crowd" heads would explode if you thought of that one.
Capaldi's thin features remind me ever so slightly of Peter Cushing...and that's a GOOD thing!
Oh, and did anybody catch Cribbins' brief mention about auditioning for the role when Pertwee was leaving? I KNEW I had read accounts of that, so it was great to have it confirmed by the actor himself! See, the plan was to reintroduce something akin to the original dynamic of the series when Hartnell starred. That's why we got Harry Sullivan. He would have been roughly the equivalent of Ian Chesterton, handling the leg work, the action. However, when the production was impressed by Tom Baker and hired him instead, well, the chemistry changed. Baker was the youngest to play the role by that time and was more than capable of doing his own leg work. Sadly, the production felt Ian Marter's role had become redundant (though both Tom and Liz have repeatedly stated they enjoyed the 3 person act). Back to the point, while Cribbins was not that old in 1974, he was slated to play the Doctor as older and somewhat frail.
Concerning Capaldi, I wonder when we'll see the first PhotoShop experiments inserting him into the console room?
Sincerely,
Bill
