Doctor Who Series 8

[strung out]

pertwee would never have worn those shoe/boot crossovers

just a suit full of straw

 

[spanglechick]

i did fear that top-button-done-up-with-no-tie thing in the xmas episode was a precursor. it's a difficult look to pull off, especially for an older jowl.

I like the rest of it, though. The red lining is splendid, and that looks like a french cuff on the shirt, which is always sexy.

 

[RedDragon]

Is that a lambs wool cardigan?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

do your bloody jacket up and just get a cape

 

[barney_pig]

Crombie, docs, and a chunky knit cardigan? capaldi is only a grade 1 away from 1980s me.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Needs more cowbell, but I would settle for cape!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I am happy with it! And happy with the Jon Pertwee references

Btw if anyone ever gets to see the swinging sixties part of the BFI's "Roll out the Barrel" compilation of pub documentaries Pertwee singing that number in a German helmet is a joy to behold

 

[ruffneck23]

Dont like it , he looks like a revenue protection inspector

 

[RedDragon]

I'm also not so keen on the Charles Saatchi shirt thing - perhaps it could be adapted more towards Harry Hill.

Charles Saatchi would have been a good choice for the Doctor, I have no difficulty believing he is from another planet. (Not that keen on his ex wife either mind)

 

[ginger_syn]

it's a good look, love the jacket it's both restrained and flamboyant but I'm not keen on the overly glossy boots.

 

[Awesome Wells]

It look like the cover for an album of easy listening entitled

'Doctor Who Plays For You'

 

[ginger_syn]

I have to disagree with you because you are wrong. It looks like a poster for a west end musical with the phrase " a majestic tour de force" occurring somewhere in blurb

 

[Bluesree]

Why is Pertwee making the sign of the devil in that photo?

I'd love Michelle Gomez to be a recurring Who character, something I've wanted ever since admiring her in Green Wing.

 

[ruffneck23]

Nice , like that article

 

[ruffneck23]

She is indeed wicked ( and mental )

 

[AverageJoe]

Spoilers!!!

 

[AverageJoe]

Thats from the episode "Robots of Sherwood"

srsly.

 

[ruffneck23]

Ha

 

[belboid]

So has anyone read any of these leaked scripts then? I dont think I want to really, but am tempted, just to see if it's the writing or direction that lets things down

I read the first half of the first episode, but struggled to read the Doctor's part in anything other than Matt Smith's voice/persona, so gave up. Some of it is cheezy as hell in written form, but who knows how it'll work on screen?

 

[belboid]

I got onto page 6 of the first one. I couldn't help but read the Doctor as Malcolm Tucker (who is so temporarily confused, he's forgotten how to swear)

 

[Balbi]

I managed 30 pages of the first episode, and basically - well. Er. No.

 

[DotCommunist]

not going to ruin this for myself before it gets ruined by the tv
