I, personally, would not be opposed to the Kels. I doubt he could handle the physical demands of the role, but I can definitely see Doctor Frasier Crane as the Last of the Time Lords.
11th Doctor Casting announcment tommorow
- Thread starter biotech
- Start date
How did fans react when bit part player Colin Baker went from a guard on Gallifrey to the good Doctor? Will there be a bit of fan wankery to get around companions asking "Aren't you that bloke out of Peep Show?"
I'm going to a LAN party tomorrow with no Internet access and I wont be back home until Sunday night, hopefully it will be announced before I leave.
and you call yourself a Doctor Who fan.
It's a bunch of geeks playing videogames for 28 hours strait, I think I still qualify as a Who fan.
It doesn't start until 2PM Central Time so hopefully Tennant's replacement will be announced a few hours before that.
Ok, ive decided i really want to see Chiwetel Ejioforas as the next Doctor. He would be fantastic!
Whoever the new Doctor is, he (or she, but I don't see that happening... yet) was clearly selected some time ago, since this approach to the announcement would have taken a long time to plan. So either the BBC are still crap at secrets and it's one of the people who've been on the media short list for months, or the BBC have learned something about secrecy and it's a surprising choice. I'm hoping for the former but leaning toward the latter. 
Ejiofor would be great.
WHAT!?!?! 
Damn, I didn't think we would find out this soon! How cool is that?
I'm actually giddy. Giddy with anticipation.

*Sigh*
ohgod I hate the Daily Mail
For starters, the "first BLACK Doctor Who!" line is already fucking tedious. The idea that his skin pigmentation is significant is pretty backwards.
And where do they get these "who fanatics" for a quote?

Can I spend time with my husband instead? 
Considering the vast differences in age, accent and appearance between the existing 10 doctors, skin colour would be a relatively minor change, different sex would be huger, I wonder then if the Doctor would have male companions?
Mind you, a female Doctor with a female companion that still does the old "falling in love with the doctor and kissing them at every opportunity" thing, I could still go for.
If its Moffit choosing the new Doctor, I just say we trust him, hes already provided us with most of the best episodes of new Who, so who better to give us a New Who?

I firmly believe that The Doctor is a male Time Lord, but within that description anything goes (accepting that Time Lords are humanoid).
I don't understand why skin colour would be an issue for anyone (and seriously Cky, I hope you were taking the piss), but gender should be consistent imho. It's a fundamental part of the character.

No it isn't.
Joanna made a delovely Doctor Who.
Can the official word hurry the hell up, my clock is assuring me that it has been the 3rd all day and it's an hour away from becoming the fourth, but then I am practically shagging the international dateline.

The media aren't making the wait any easier. It's all over the BBC Breakfast News and Sky news this morning. They've got a couple of pundits on the BBC at the moment, and the stupid news anchor woman has said, "no need for spoiler alerts...." Stop using our terminiolgy in your stupid mainstream media, you stupid woman.
I'm sorry... I'm getting a bit het up.

...in a comic relief skit.
I'm not saying there are no actresses who could do the part justice, I'm just saying that as far as I'm concerned he's a male Time Lord.
And I wish people would stop using The Curse of the Fatal Death as an excuse for suggesting any fucker with an equity card would make a good regular, official Doctor.
