RTD will be juggling more than Victorian London and Cybermen this Christmas. The title was released on the BBC press office website earlier today. It's pretty spoiler-ish, so beware.

Nooooo!

Our Lady Has Left the Building

06:54 / 24.09.08

Calm down dear.

Read the synopis for this (was in the papers here last week). You can immediatly see a RTD script from a few pages , im hoping its not a portent as the title suggest of things to come

07:27 / 04.10.08

It just struck me: was it even revealed that Eccleston's Doctor was the Ninth one (and Tennant the Tenth)?
What if he was the Tenth? or the Eleventh?

We could have missed one, two, many Doctors!

10:47 / 04.10.08

They've never really addressed it in the show but RTD said that's the case, and who are we to argue?

Although isn't he technically the 11th Doctor now anyway? He did regenerate after all.

Going by the current RTD hoo-ha, it would seem---however stupid---Donna might've been an 11th Doctor.

But she wasn't.

Poke it with a stick

20:41 / 29.10.08

But they're certainly going to need a new Doctor soon: Tennant to quit in 2010

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

01:27 / 30.10.08

I am honestly wiping away tears. I will enjoy every overly-chatty moment until you depart, Tennant.

08:36 / 30.10.08

Ah tis a sad day , however as a such a fine actor we're not really going to lose out (and im sure a special with the most recent say 4 doctors might be intresting

)

Let the speculation begin !!

11:34 / 30.10.08

It's about time he moved over for Tilda Swinton.

11:51 / 30.10.08

I for one embrace the inevitability of our new James Nesbitt shaped time lord.

11:59 / 30.10.08

Or how about Clive Owen or Richard Paul Astley?

13:37 / 30.10.08

Rich Johnston of Lying in the Gutters fame is hyping Patterson Joseph. To be honest it's the first name i've heard in connection with Doc 11 that i've thought would be good in the role (please god not Nesbitt, please). I even went back and watched chunks of the awful Neverwhere on youtube and his performance as the Marquis points to an excellent possible Doctor.

Whatever i hope they're bold in their casting, a Pat Troughton to Jon Pertwee step change.

also Neverwhere wasn't nearly as bad as i thought, though to be fair i was drinking wine on top of antibiotics and in a generally forgiving mood.

14:12 / 30.10.08

Patterson Joseph

That would rock quite hard actually.

Assuming Statham is busy filming another kick-splode film.

Poke it with a stick

18:23 / 30.10.08

Another favourite is apparently Sean Pertwee which, despite the vast majority of his films, doesn't fill me with dread.

Having said that, Patterson Joseph would be my choice and, knowing what RTD has been like for having references to the political issues de jour, I think the time is right to have a black Doctor.

19:00 / 30.10.08

Assuming Statham is busy filming another kick-splode film.

I'd forgot about the Statham but his fists haven't forgotten about the Daleks.

12:26 / 31.10.08

Siddig! Siddig! Siddig!

Our Lady Has Left the Building

11:43 / 01.11.08

Not with that beard. Paterson Joseph ftd!

20:54 / 01.11.08

Nooooo! (redux)

Actually, the thought of Moffet beginning with a fresh new slate is all the more tantalizing.

11:26 / 02.11.08

I actually quite like the idea that the new doctor could in fact be the next doctor...

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

06:28 / 08.11.08

I would prefer someone who hasn't been in any of the current seasons, actually.

Brian Cox is my vote.

02:07 / 09.11.08

Kali, that is the most brilliant idea I have ever heard all day long. I loved Cox on DEADWOOD. I am imagining Ian McShane as The Master. I can hear the psychic f-bombs flying...

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

20:15 / 02.04.09

Anyone else getting a strong Pitch Black feeling from the Planet of the Dead trailer?

14:35 / 03.04.09

A little bit. This being Doctor Who I'm naturally excited, but the "run, run! run run! runnnnnnn!" was a bit narmish. Also, I can't see, immediately, how this is going to segue into Doctor Statham, which is worrying.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

14:47 / 03.04.09

Oh, there's no doubt I'll watch it but the desert planet, the multiple suns, the swarm of thingys....it all screamed that movie to me.

08:26 / 06.04.09

So next Saturday looks to be a big sci-fi night. New Who clashing for the first time with Primeval, and the second episode of Red Dwarf.

Who'd have thunk Easter would be so much fun?

22:54 / 11.04.09

Mr. Mono and I were both...underwhelmed. It really is time for supersappy RTD to step down, isn't it?

00:19 / 12.04.09

I was quite glad to see this wasn't another over-the-top adventure farce, although a few bits were a bit too campy. Still, I quite enjoyed it, and liked Michelle Ryan's character quite a bit, to the point where it's upsetting we will never see her again.

Poke it with a stick

10:20 / 12.04.09

@ The Mono's: Yeah, RTD's insistence on trying to develop romantic feelings between the Doctor and anyone who even gets close to touching his screwdriver is getting deeply irritating.

As for the episode itself, it worked well enough that I was willing to forgive its flaws and enjoy stuff like a Lexx-lookalike ship in the desert; Flight of the Phoenix with a Routemaster and pretty good CGI (hasn't it come a long way since Father's Day?).

And the trailer for the Waters of Mars made me happy.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

20:57 / 12.04.09

Oh, it wasn't too bad. Every time I watch Doctor Who, I get the happies all over again, then become crestfallen to realize that I'll never get another Tennant season again.

Curious about Carmen's warning, though. "He will knock four times"? It does suggest the rhythm of the drums the Master kept hearing.

02:31 / 13.04.09

All I can say, after that, is that if I was Matt Smith, I'd be in a shotgun, no strides, bottle of vodka type situation.

Because how to follow the loveliest Doctor? He must be f***ing sh**ing himself!

11:34 / 14.04.09

If I were Matt Smith, which of course I am, I wouldn't have watched that at all, because it was shit. I would, instead, rigged my computer up to a projector and shone this page over my neighbour's house, and screamed about being "young but old but black-wearing" at the top of my voice.

Really, Matt Smith has nothing to fear from Tennant. Matt Smith will open his run on Dr Who drinking the blood of a kitten, and then cry, and then a girl will love him because he cried about drinking the blood of the kitten, and only drank its blood so he didn't drink her blood instead. Matt Smith has it made. Every way in which he's not as nice as Tennant will make people love him more. Goes double if he regens to the sound of drums and is half-Master and so has to struggle as well as just be disappointed in himself.

(If you're coming to this at any other time than right now, incidentally, this page is right now showing Twilight 2-Disc and Twilight 1-Disc spit-roasting the other 23 entries in Amazon.co.uk's DVD sales chart)

18:18 / 14.04.09

Well, he's bound to be a sadder Doctor, after the reincarnation. He should, of course, drink the animal's blood, but before that, I think a whispered 'fuck', 'shit' or something might be in order, when he first looks in the mirror.

There'll be no more assistants just throwing themselves at him, I'm afraid. He'll have to win them over with his personality; surely the whole point of being a timelord is that you can just flash the ladies your car keys, and not have to deal with stuff like that?

23:45 / 15.05.09

Important information: Cribbins has not only not died of pies, he is due in the Xmas special, it seems. Yay for non-pie-dead Cribbins.
