Can't say I'm surprised but it's a pity we won't get to see how good he could have been without Moffat and Gatiss.

You did but I nipped back in time and got the jump on you.

 

[skyscraper101]

Did I really need to get a 'breaking news' alert complete with that thundering BBC News sting delivered to my phone?

Doctor Who ffs

 

[Spymaster]

I just got a BBC breaking news alert for this.

Actors leaving shows is not news.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

We already lost the War Doctor earlier this week.

 

[Santino]

Off the top of my head I can't really think of anyone, man or woman, who I can imagine being the Doctor and pulling it off really well.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Great actor, but the fucking worst stories of the new Who.

 

[discobastard]

I bet the 'Twittersphere' is in meltdown or something.

Some people are tweeting about it.

Some people are tweeting about it.

I imagine it's all quite calm, measured and philosophical.

Isn't this the exact time to start that?

No, people on twitter are different from us. They must be hysterical or something.

 

[discobastard]

Go on then why not

No meltdown it seems thus far...

 

[ginger_syn]

I'm a bit sad about this he's one of my favourite doctors,I just hope whoever the next actor to take the role is as good as capaldi is.

Never really cared for him...

 

[ginger_syn]

That's ok, I didn't like Tennant despite the fact he is a good actor and did an excellent job in Who

 

[spring-peeper]

Guess I still rate them against the old doctors I knew as a child

Wish I could find them on the internetz.

 

[ginger_syn]

know what you mean there's a tiny piece of my heart where every doctor after Pertwee is not proper

Benedict Cumberbatch.... If he wasn't already so Sherlocky.

Great actor, but the fucking worst stories of the new Who.

I've recently started watching New Who from the beginning. I'm midway through Ecclescake. Those are actual stories. I haven't seen them in a while, and they stand up very well.

At some point - that I'll no doubt be able to pinpoint as I watch through the serieses - they start to forget how plots work, and replace them with garbled confusion. Assuming, perhaps, that if they make it zany enough people will think there's a story. But shouty whizz bang followed by overwrought sentimentality is not a story.

It'd be good if Capaldi got some good stories before he left.

 

[danny la rouge]

Benedict Cumberbatch.... If he wasn't already so Sherlocky.

Oh dear god no.

Sean pertwee

 

[Anton]

i wonder if they are ever going to bring back Blake's 7?

 

[redsquirrel]

Great actor, but the fucking worst stories of the new Who.

Yep.

Benedict Cumberbatch.... If he wasn't already so Sherlocky.

They're basically the same thing, might as well merge them.
