I hope they're not dragging poor old Tom into the 50th show. I'd rather remember him in all his slender, brown curly haired glory.

I am almost more excited about the Doctor Who Docu-drama than I am about the anniversary special:

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Looks better than Hurndall, that's for sure.

 

[RyanSD]

Wow, at first I really thought that was a pic of Hartnell. I'm looking forward to this as well. It'll be nice to see David Bradley in a meatier roll than his usual character rolls.

 

[Magpie 7]

Originally it was going to be Philip Madoc until his untimely death playing Hartnell, there was even a few rumours around that time that it was part of the 50th episode.......

Wonder if they'll use David Bradley to play #1 at some point? I think we've been robbed of multiple Doctor's episodes for far too long.

Just me personally, I hope not. It's fine for something like a docudrama, but I hate the idea of fake Doctors in proper episodes. The blink and you'll miss them cameos in The Name of the Doctor is as far as I'm willing to go. I still haven't seen The 5 Doctors more than once specifically because it has a fake Doctor in it.

Depends on the choice of actor, whether they'll be doing a simple impression and the reason why the character returns.

Personally i think theres plenty of milage in #7 and Ace than any of the other Doctor/companions.

Odds on favorite

 

[Matt S]

I am finally getting around to watching Matt Smith run; up to Ep 4 of series 6 and loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He really is a brilliant Doctor Who

 

[dragonsleeper]

Hey, watching that now... yup every single Doctor of the new series is brilliant... so I'm not worried about the new Doctor

They're going to tell the story of the time Robb Stark promised to marry the
Doctor's graddaughter Susan and backed out. The first Doctor then orchastrates the Red Wedding.

I'm more excited as I think it's going to be better then the special. Moffat starts with good intentions, but of late all his stories end up being overly complicated and lacking any sense of real pacing.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah, I agree with you. I am not sure why Moffat can't deliver for Doctor Who the way he does for Sherlock.

 

[pixletwin]

12th Doctor will be announced this Sunday.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Yeah, I agree with you. I am not sure why Moffat can't deliver for Doctor Who the way he does for Sherlock.

If they only did three Who stories every two years, he probably could.

 

[EVILFACE]

12th Doctor will be announced this Sunday.

The rumor going around is that Whoopi Goldberg will be the next doctor.

 

[The Mike]

I'm preparing myself for Peter Capaldi to be announced (even though I thought they'd go about ten years younger) but still wondering if someone else will suddenly appear on the stage.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I just hope we get someone a bit more low key. Tennant and Smith were fun, but it's time to take it down a notch.

 

[pixletwin]

To be honest, after so much geek-chic I would welcome an older Doctor.

Fingers crossed
