Your nominations for the twelth Doctor

[SpookyFrank]

It was a few pages back on this thread. Radio Times article or something.

He was really good in the episode he was in, I think it'll work well with him and Capaldi.

You're a cunt for even joking about that.

 

[Gromit]

I wouldn't trust Gromit's attempts to read a postcard, let alone the underlying motivations of an actor through his body language.

I've seen every single episode of 'lie to me' so am an expert in body language.

 

[agricola]

I couldn't really care tbh.... when i read the bookies had stopped taking bets on him being the the new Doctor it was obvious...

I did chuckle at this though...

 

[Sprocket.]

Could this announcement be the reason that, The Crow Road was recently resurrected on BBC Four?
Or pure coincidence.

More likely the recent demise of Iain Banks.

Of course.

They said in the metro that only ten people knew. Turns out I knew two people that knew, Capaldi must have also known. That only leaves seven people. I call bollocks.

It would be clever if they kill off the series the way it started with a grumpy old man.

around the same time they also throttle that golden egg laying goose yah?

 

[Santino]

They'll definitely end the Doctor Who cash cow at 13 regenerations because of a few lines of dialogue written decades ago.

Indeed - lets not forget that the Master ran out of regenerations three or four actors ago.

Fuck, missed that...

They've done some amusing stuff to keep him going

wasn't he at one point this rubbery lolthing (keeper of traken?)

Wasnt that John Simm?

 

[Santino]

Maybe like the Immortals in Highlander, the fewer of them there are left, the greater the share of power each survivor has. So, as last of the Timelords the Doctor can have as many fucking regenerations as we wants.

Or they can just reconn the entire premise of the timelords and gallifrey like they did with Highlander 2.

Ace film btw.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

They have changed the story so many times that I don't think it matters anymore.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm sorry, can someone explain what a regeneration is? I missed the programme on Sunday and so am totally clueless to this phenomenon

It's when poor people get kicked out of an area when it is being made nice for Guardian readers.

timelords, when mortally wounded regenerate. Full body change. Its not done lightly because for a while the mind is unstable

 

[kabbes]

I think he was taking the piss, dotty.

 

[Quartz]

According to Neil Gaiman, a black actor turned down the role, but for an earlier incarnation.

So, who do we think?

I'm guessing not Poitier.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Doubt this means anything at all, but Gaiman developed Neverwhere with Lenny Henry. Maybe they still chat about... stuff

 

[billy_bob]

He came to mind. Thank fuck he said no eh....

 

[DotCommunist]

Patterson Joseph?

theres always been rumours...

 

[zoooo]

I read yesterday somewhere that Chiwetel Ejiofor turned it down and Matt Smith got it.

Nothing against Smith, but that'd be a shame if true.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'm guessing not Poitier.

Trying to think of who it might be makes me kinda realise that there's not many prominent black British actors.

I like him, he's been in some utter dreck though.
