An unearthly thread. (Doctor Who).

I get into a lot of arguments about how the Master is the hero of the show.

Matt Smith announces he is to leave Doctor Who

Come Xmas Day, we'll have Doctor No.12. Or No.13. Depends if John Hurt counts.

[Reply #402 on:]

I heard about that just a few minutes ago. Many are wondering who will be taking Matt Smith's place now. I'm hearing a lot about a woman possibly playing the Doctor.

The Doctor should regenerate into a bear. Then he should go on a mauling spree throughout time and space, before finally being placated with a large, fresh, salmon.

But it should be a female, handicapped, lesbian black bear of Jewish belief

No. We most certainly don't. It should be a male bear with deep seated misogynist and homophobic issues, who is a perfect specimen of physical fitness and looks down on those who aren't. It should also be extremely dismissive of the TARDIS's feelings.

Then that bear should regenerate into Tom Baker.

"Jellybabies" in German are called "Gummibärchen", which basically means "Jelly BEARS".
Had they used the German language for Doctor Who (which would not have been too difficult, as even Monty Python managed to conjure up three appropriate episodes), I could have made an obvious and appropriate joke about a bear and Tom Baker.
But yet, as the producers took the easy way by sticking to their English mother tongue, Peel will be deprived of said joke.
Though I suspect the Doctor Who writers can live with "some random idiot on the internet not being able to make an idiotic joke about Doctor Who, Tom Baker, Jellybabies and a bear".

Next Doctor Could Be Female

[Reply #408 on:]

I'm hearing a lot about a woman possibly playing the Doctor.

I have no problems with this.

Doctor Who: Matt Smith replacement could be announced next month

[Reply #410 on:]

Breaking news: Actual real news about actual confirmed things may come sometime in the future!

[Reply #411 on:]

I know tnuk quoted it in the POTM thread but ^that^ deserves recognition in the same thread.

Also, the press mention the possibility of a female Doctor EVERY... BLOODY... TIME!!!. It's getting boring. I think the headline "NEXT DOCTOR LIKELY TO BE MALE" would actually be more surprising.

12th Doctor Revealed on Sunday

Oh man!

[Reply #416 on:]

I'll just leave this here...

[Reply #417 on:]

Wonder who it will be, looking forward to Sunday!

[Reply #418 on:]

I'm rooting for it to be Daniel Rigby.

[Reply #419 on:]

^ So am I.

Also that's a nice picture.

[Reply #420 on:]

Favourite is Peter Capaldi, have started to warm to the idea of him becoming the Doctor, so don't mind if thats the case.

Will find out soon enough now anyhow

I like him too much as an actor to get my hopes up. I'll be really pleased if he is the next, so fuck the press if they're throwing a curve ball.

[Reply #422 on:]

I'd enjoy it if Peter Capaldi's the next Doctor, too, but since I don't know much of anything about Daniel Rigby, I can't really be opposed to him either.

[Reply #423 on:]

It had better be Helena Bonham Carter, or else I am going to be seriously indifferent.

[Reply #424 on:]

I'm all for the next Doctor being female...but Helena Bonham Carter? No, no, and more no.

[Reply #425 on:]

Guys it's

Show spoiler

Peter Capaldi

[Reply #426 on:]

Pleased with that

[Reply #427 on:]

So am I. I think he'll play it quite well, he certainly looks the part for me.

[Reply #428 on:]

I'm very happy about that and think he'll make a great Doctor. 

[Reply #429 on:]

I'm the fucking Doctor stop cocking about before I have to ram my sonic screwdriver up your pisshole. Now, welcome to my fucking TARDIS it's bigger on the inside.
Like your mum. ‪#‎tuckerwho‬

[Reply #430 on:]

I'm annoyed that how I have to watch some of this dross again.

I love Peter Capaldi.

[Reply #431 on:]

Is that you, Grumpycat?

[Reply #432 on:]

What, another one? But they just did this, like, three years ago! Couldn't they have auditioned something weird, like babies, for the part? "I'd... I'd just like to watch an infant in one of television's leading roles!", M0le explains to everyone in a reassuring, uncreepy manner.

I like Capaldi, but is curly hair disproportionally overrepresented by the Doctor's regenerations? Discuss.

[Reply #433 on:]

As sad as I am seeing Matt Smith leave the show, I'm glad that Pete Capaldi is on the show. Both are great.

[Reply #434 on:]

I wonder how they're going to introduce the new doctor? Or have I missed an episode? I thought they had the old fart as the old doctor? WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!

[Reply #435 on:]

I believe he'll be appearing in the 50th Anniversary. John Hurt as I read is the gap between the 8th doctor and the 9th.

[Reply #436 on:]

The only time I've ever seen John Hurt on screen was in a scene where he was giving birth, so to speak...

I've not yet had the pleasure of seeing any of Mr. Capaldi's work.

[Reply #437 on:]

^ If you saw the episode of Doctor Who "The Fires of Pompeii," Peter Capaldi was the father (Although I can't remember the name if his character) of the family.

[Reply #438 on:]

Thanks for the tip!  I *did* see The Fires of Pompeii (one of the few modern Who eps I've seen) but it was so long ago I that can't recall any detail.

[Reply #439 on:]

Peter Capaldi - Caecilius.
