madbuk Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I can not believe i missed this announcement 2 days ago, considering Dr Who is the only show I bother watching on TV. Who do you think it'll be? My vote is for Anne Widdecombe Source Edited August 3, 2013 by madbuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LeeMcD- Posted August 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2013 I wish they didn't announce when a new doctor was due to arrive. It ruins the surprise to the point where all I'm anticipating in the current doctor's final episode is how they'll be forced to regenerate. To me it would be better if it was just one big surprise with no announcements beforehand or even any rumours so I can fully appreciate the current doctor's swan song moment without actually knowing that it is actually their swan song. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's why I've stopped looking at sites like Dr Who TV (hence why I didn't know about this for 2 days). It would've been great to find out on the day that Billie and Tennant were returning - Rose is my favourite companion (anticipating all the 1 star profile ratings now lol) besides Sarah Jane, so seeing her pop up would've been great if I hadn't know about it. (Though, does Rose really need to return? The Parting of Ways lost part of it's impact when Rose returned the first time). I want a dark doctor, somebody a bit like Ecclestone. I don't want him to be all care-free. It makes it seem like Dr Who is a kids show, but it isn't. I miss Torchwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Really? Kind of want it to be a surprise. But I guess this will avoid me the disappointment of Matt Smith regenerating into a female.. (not sexist in anyway, I am female myself), I'm going to hate seeing Matt Smith go. Whoever it is, I hope they are ginger so the Doctor finally gets what he wants.

DEMON Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Very happy with the new Doctor they choose. It's Peter Capaldi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurobleidd Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I have mixed feeling's about Peter being the 12th Doctor. Edited August 4, 2013 by Hikari_Symphony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeMcD- Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have mixed feeling's about the next Doctor. Isn't that pretty much how everybody feels whenever the new doctor is announced? I'm actually excited to see him, he's got a much more serious look to him so hopefully there'll be some more darker episodes and plot lines in the upcoming seasons.

It is but that's not why I have mixed feelings. I like Peter but he's played two other characters in the Who Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognize him from Fires of Pompeii, when else did he appear? I, too, hope for some dark episodes from Peter. Matt's run was lacking them.

DEMON Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I had mixed feelings about Matt (ended up better than David to me) never having heard of him before, they will pass so don't worry, I'm sure he will make a good Doctor I've been kind of wanting to see an older Doctor come back, he's always very serious when old.

Matt's run was lacking them. Well, he appeared in Fire's of Pompeii and played John Frobisher in Torchwood so it wasn't really Doctor Who. I'm fine with the choice though, it'll be interesting. I'll miss Matt though. Edited August 4, 2013 by Hikari_Symphony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm not sure, but definitely can see him playing a more dark & serious role. I think I just don't like change as I had a proper rant when David Tennant regenerated, but came to love Matt Smith equally. Time will tell!

silver_pigy Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm in the same camp of wishing they would not say anything about a new doctor until the moment that the current one has to regenerate. Now that a new doctor is coming every time something bad is happening or he starts on an epic speech I will be expecting a regeneration to happen.

It was always sort of expected since the actors always did announce they were leaving. It's just (at least I don't think so) happened like this where there was an announcement on who the new Doctor is without making it a surprise.

I don't really like it when people who play different characters come back as someone other then the character they originally played. Just ruins it for me some how. I guess we will see when it happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
