:sadeyes:

Read about it here .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm

But for my fellow Doctor Who addicts .... all is not lost, there will be some Doctor Who movies in 2009 to keep us on our toes and to keep us teased.


Who do you think the next Doctor Who should be :

-== what about Billy Connelly ?
-== what about Robert Lindsay (the dad in My Family) ?
-== please don't give the part to Patrict Stewart.
-== hey a female Doctor Who might be interesting.

cheap bugger BBC drats humbug

:mad2::mad2::tasdevil::tasdevil::ma d2::mad2:

[thunderchildobs]

The Doctor transfers his "soul" into Rose Tyler or Donna Noble.

[jjjnettie]

I'd like to see Robert Carlyle as the next Doctor.

[Omaroo]

As long as it isn't Ewan McGregor.

[Ian Robinson]

I'll second that.

[Ian Robinson]

I think my wife my like it though .... :sadeyes:

[Ric]

How about Lenny Henry or Bill Bailey.:lol:

[Liz]

Ohhhhh. now I am going to be sad all day :( luv David Tennant .... oh well :prey2:......... a job well done, thankyou.

'David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.'
"When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me,"

Who edited my post most if not all who are posting to this thread are adults some of the moderation can be a little bit pedantic consdiering a lot of so called children these days use a lot worse when texting and talking.

Trevor the rules around bypassing the profanity filter are pretty clear. Yes most of us are adults but the audience of this site includes children and people who don't need or want to read swearing.

Thanks for your understanding.

If you'd like to discuss it further please PM me.

I believe some pundits are suggesting John Simm, who played "Sam Tyler" in Life on Mars.

[DJDD]

that would be odd as he played another character, didn't he?


also, i read that James Nesbitt may be the next doctor.

[DJDD]

I would find Paterson Joseph a bit hard to watch initially because every time i see himm I think of his role as the Admiral in Hyperdrive. :)

[jjjnettie]

I think that is the reason David is leaving the series.
Typecasting has lost us a lot of talented actors.
Can you imagine Daniel Radcliffe as the Doctor?
Who knows, he may be ideal, but we just can't get past seeing him as "Harry Potter".

[Ford Prefect]

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that - he played The Master.. a bit hard for him to turn around and become The Doctor! :rofl:

My wife must be talking through her hat.

I wouldn't like Nesbitt, I found him irritating in Jekyll.

[DJDD]

hmmm...:zzz2:
'Harry Potter' would bring in the younger crowd but since the doctor only has one (or two?) regenerations left why worry about them? :lol:
get an actor that will appeal to the 30-45 age group. :D

[koputai]

Ron Jeremy.
Or Ozzy Osbourne.

Cheers,
Jason.
Who preferred Christopher Eccleston over David Tennant.

[Paddy]

I think they missed a great opportunity to make Catherine Tate the doctor. She was fantastic. John Simm would be good. There is a precedent as Lalla Ward played Princess Astrid and then went on to become a regeneration of Romana.

[matt]

I don't:D

[TrevorW]

Cheers Mike

WT... unless you know what it means and xxx???.... are a lot less profane than the word bugger (if you know the true definition of this word). I'm all against unneccessary vulgarity but a bit of light inuendo swearing taken in text is often humorous and sums up ones disappointment aptly without being too verbose

Cheers

[gman]

I heard that they may offer the position to Billie Piper who played the part of Rose Tyler.

Who knows ?

Obama today, Billie tomorrow

Personally, I'd like to see someone like Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear take on the role.

[matt]

:lol: Classic

I used to wonder how many times the doctor could still regenerate. I recall seeing an eposide in the 80's when it was said he could regenerate 12 times. He's up to 10 isnn't he? Who's to say that the first episode was set on the Doctor before his first regeneration. Surely he has a history before then. I found some interesting stuff on Winkipedia on Doctor Who some time ago which seemed to fill in some of the gaps.

[DJDD]

well, i think it is 10 if you do not count the doctor who in america, which no one seems to do. best put that behind them... :)

[Gargoyle_Steve]

During the Brain of Morbius story (which was the only old series story that was given a "not for children" rating in Australia, and had to be aired the first time in an after 9pm timeslot) there was a scene in which Morbius and the Doctor fought a "mental degeneration" battle, a video screen displayed each of them as they forced each other "backwards" through numerous previous regenerations. This showed that the Doctor has already enjoyed many, possibly dozens, or regenerations.

But then yes, they later did talk about 12 regenerations. You can't take any of that as pure gospel as obviously there are inconsistencies with a show that has been produced over a 44 year time span.

Long live the Doctor - all of them.
