New Doctor to be revealed on Sunday

Being born in Britain is a massive reason to despise Clinton, inserting himself into Northern Ireland as a cynical exercise in winning votes from Catholics and fucking us over, and parading the murderer Gerry Adams around as a hero at the same time.
 
Can we get back to talking about Doctor Who.

I wasn't really impressed with the introducing the doctor who special. I don't know It just needed more of something. Why were there fans on the couch and what was the point of it. I wanted more of the actors that were on the couch that were actually in the show. Then you only get a couple of minutes talking to the new Doctor.

Now BBC shows don't become like some of those shows in America where they build up stuff and do it in the last minute while the credits are running. No one likes that.

The Fans on the sofa were celebs.
 
^ Questionable as to whether or not Rufus Hound was really a fan.

He posted a blog apologising for it today. Saying he's mate's with Christopher's brother, Peter and that's where the mistake came in.

Or did he almost spoil it, having seen the new Doctor back stage? :mallory:

Ah. Fair enough. When I read the above posts, I can certainly imagine that I might have put my foot in it in his position.

Mind you, knock three times? Was he listening to 70s MOR music before the show?!:p
 
^ Thanks, that was genuinely interesting. And I see he denies that the 'Peter' slip was Capaldi-inspired. He didn't know at that stage.
 
Anyone think Smith's advice speech was a bit awkward?

Smith looked like he didn't really want to say it

Capaldi looked like "Who the hell is this kid giving me advice? I have more experience and knowledge than him"



Which sort of still works if there's ever a team up special.

Smith is a younger doctor

Capaldi is an older doctor.
 
If you want proof Hound is a fan check out the Argumental wjere he has to argue Doctor Who Is Rubbish. Afterwards he lays into the audience for giving him even a single vote!
 
This may have been posted already but here's Moffatt on why he chose Capaldi. Seems he was the only actor to audition (and it wasn't even a real audition):

"There was only one audition this time," Moffat says, "and it wasn't an audition so much as ... he came round my house and we put him on video to see what he looked like as the Doctor and, gosh, he was terribly good!" According to Digital Spy, Moffat says the short list of choices he was considering for the role only consisted of Capaldi.

Yea, he definitely looked uncomfortable for some reason, looking down alot of the time. Maybe, that's because it was a last minute thing, and therefore he had to read what he wrote, rather than having it memorized?

I thought it was more of a case that Smith was getting a bit maudlin about leaving and didn't want to let it show with lights and a camera all in his face.
 
It was a cobbled together announcement because the Beeb were sick of people dogging their every move and decided to pre-empt the professional spoilers. I can't believe people are actually treating it like anything other than that.

Yeah, I think he's really regreting living the show and now it really kicks in that he's been replaced..
 
I can't get over how mean-spirited this thread is wow...

Anyway, Capaldi seems as good a choice as anyone. My interest isn't in diversity here, just common sense... Time lords can regenerate but not change genders or races...if they could I'd say it was fine if they were Asian, or female, or what have you..
