Your nominations for the twelth Doctor

[Santino]

kabbes has bid two hearts

He thinks it means Capaldi doesn't truly 'get' Who.

This was after me speculating how Capaldi will deal with all the kiddy stuff. I'm a little concerned he might have a bit of the Ecclescakes about him, though I hope that's wrong.

Ah, I see.

 

[killer b]

when does he start?

 

[SpookyFrank]

when does he start?

More importantly, when will Clara die and actually stay dead?

 

[Lord Camomile]

when does he start?

As soon as we kill Matt Smith.

 

[discokermit]

good choice. haven't watched doctor who since just after ecclestone left, might tune in for capaldi.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Scouting around all the newspaper sites suggests both the Mirror and the Guardian knew in advance and possibly forced this bizzare unveiling.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I suspect we're all going to be a little bit disappointed once we realise it's not actually Malcolm Tucker playing the Doctor.

Also, fuck off Moffat with your condescending "I want the Queen to be played by a man" bullshit. Fuck you, fuck your bullshit writing, and fuck everything about you.

Anyway, I'm interested to see how Capaldi will play the Doctor. He's a great actor.

 

[zoooo]

Capaldi's brilliant. Very relieved.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I suspect this is why Rufus Hound said Peter Ecclescakes by accident.

 

[Corax]

Excellent.

Most importantly, an excellent actor.

But also, whilst very capable of pulling off comedic moments is likely to bring back a darker, angrier interpretation of the Doctor - which is due.

He is going to have to be, unless the standard of writing seriously improves. That last season was awful.

Doctor's Law: If some Dalek can fuck something up, that Dalek will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up cause that Dalek's a Dalek.

What exactly was wrong with Eccles? As I understand it his major issue was with some of the cheese RDS added.

 

[bi0boy]

Jim Capaldi got the job.

Isn't he dead

 

[peterkro]

Isn't he dead

Yes he is, I finally twigged there's an actor with the same name.

I thought Eccleston was excellent as the doctor. His very first episode was absolute shit, mind, but that was down to the utterly bullshit writing, and no one really knowing what the fuck they were going to do with a reboot of Doctor Who. It got a lot better, and I really liked his interpretation of the Doctor. Most of the angst about him I believe comes from the fact that Tennant was so very different in terms of personality. Tennant over-egged the pudding on occasion (although I was perfectly fine with that) and had lots of quirk and 'character', whereas Eccleston was less out there. I obviously respect his decision to leave, but I would also have loved to have seen another series with him in it.

E

when does he start?

2014, the news said. We know Matt will be in the Christmas episode, but not whether he regenerates then.

 

[zoooo]

I suspect this is why Rufus Hound said Peter Ecclescakes by accident.

Ahhhh, yes!

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm a little concerned he might have a bit of the Ecclescakes about him, though I hope that's wrong.

That would be a good thing.

Don't see any comparison myself, though.

 

[fogbat]

Well chuffed at Capaldi.

Kind of disappointed that it's no female Doctor, but probably glad she didn't arrive under Moffat's watch.

 

[danny la rouge]

Apparently Capaldi is the same age as William Hartnell was when he took the role.

 

[8den]

My flatmate is concerned Capaldi called the character Dr. Who, rather than The Doctor

Is this significant?

Rather.

 

[zoooo]

I've heard massive Doctor Who fans make that slip up on occasion. I really doubt he genuinely thinks the character's name is Doctor Who.

 

[Kaka Tim]

hooray! An older, edgier, less touchy feely doctor. Hopefully this will put an end to the female companions getting all loved up over him as well.

Good choice.

 

[CNT36]

Apparently Capaldi is the same age as William Hartnell was when he took the role.

Hopefully it means there will be less pointless running.

 

[fogbat]

Matt Smith called the character Doctor Who in this evening's programme. No great issue.

 

[DotCommunist]

Malcom Tucker in the fucking Tardis? I hope this works, it could go so well

at least we have broken the cycle of Pitt the young, Pitt the Even Younger and Pitt the gleam in the milkmans eye etc

 

[Looby]

Rather.

Don't bloody facepalm me, I've already said I don't watch it.

And this is why.

 

[zoooo]

hooray! An older, edgier, less touchy feely doctor. Hopefully this will put an end to the female companions getting all loved up over him as well.

Yes, hopefully.
I mean he's quite sexy and handsome. But they won't be having teenage companions flirting with him constantly anymore. I hope.
