cool arrow Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 If they went with Capaldi I'd consider that a ballsy move. At this point I am prone to pretty much love whoever they cast in the role. But it does seem like a total departure of young, squee inducing, merch moving Doctor Who. Which is precisely why I hope it's him. It's always been a bit embarrassing to be a Whovian, but since 2005 it's been embarrassing in a totally different way.
Doubting El Dandy Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Really? I've only been watching Who since 2010, but I've watched since the 2005 series onward. Not the least bit embarrassed. It's a good show.
Craig H Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I read someone's breakdown of how it could be Tennant. While it had its merits, I think that fucks with people a bit too much and is pretty weak. However, Tennant playing The Valeyard and being the big bad against John Hurt would be kinda neat.

The Natural Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Great interview by Matt Smith on his time as The Eleventh Doctor.

As a life long Star Trek fan I know all to well the bane that is "those fans". I mean it's a silly show, you shouldn't take it too seriously. 1
Ultimo Necro Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 So pleased with that. Next series should be darker I reckon!
cool arrow Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 The tears of the fangirls on Facebook are so sweet and delicious.
odessasteps Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 15 year old Peter Capaldi wrote a letter to the Radio Times about Doctor Who

cool arrow Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Yes, the aforementioned embarrassing fans. Personally I don't care one way or the other, it just makes me happy that they're pissed off.

RIPPA Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Does this mean the new doctor is going to swear a lot?
The Natural Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Does this mean the new doctor is going to swear a lot? I'll be disappointed if we don't get "When The Doctor Met Malcolm Tucker" videos on streaming sites.
Brock Samson Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Now... If they can recast the writing staff..... 2
JRGoldman Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I hope this means we get a guest spot from the kid who played Sid in Skins. As an aside, when I saw the picture of Capaldi with facial hair, I thought the new doctor was John Hawkes, which would have been amazing.

Capaldi's casting went down well with the audience, good job it turned out well.
Andrew POE! Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Now... If they can recast the writing staff..... I agree -- I think an older guy as the Doctor is a great idea. But if any of the episodes are like the episodes during Matt Smith's run, we'll be in for a rough haul. I finished watching the entirety of the 11th Doctor's run and I couldn't find an episode I liked that much. It was confusion for the sake of confusion. Well, I did liked "A Good Man Goes To War" and most of the episodes during Series 5 and some of Series 7. Series 6 was just bad. Whereas with Eccelston/Tennant's run, the bad episodes were few and far between. They need to have Peter Capaldi swear as the Doctor.
The Natural Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Very short video with Peter Capaldi introducing himself as The Doctor: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01dpwc0 First promotional picture:
Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Well, at least he's gonna be really easy to cosplay as.
Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 If they went with Capaldi I'd consider that a ballsy move. To me a "ballsy move" would have been a black or British-Indian woman as the new Doctor.
