bbc [Official] Doctor Who Thread

[redfish]

I personally don't think there's any need, simply for show of progress, to shake up the standard formula and choose a woman doctor or even a doctor of another race. People who are making it an issue I think are being silly. The doctor doesn't need to be a woman anymore than Batman needs to be a woman. The whole regeneration thing was just an excuse to renew the show even after an actor quit, wasn't it? Its of course, up to the writers, and what they think they can make work.

Non-British doctor wouldn't necessarily be an American actor.. I could imagine Peter Stormare as the Doctor. I agree though its nice that the show has a British character to it.

I think a different race would be awesome, but I would really like The Doctor to stay male.

Agreed!

According to The Telegraph the BBC have made a contract offer to Rory Kinnear to portray the next iteration of the Doctor on Doctor Who. Says The Telegraph, "He has been offered the part and we are waiting to hear if he will accept. He is the perfect choice." Recently, there was another rumor identifying three other actors as the frontrunners to replace the departing Matt Smith. Domhnall Gleeson, Daniel Kaluuya and Dominic Cooper were said to be the lucky three but its possible that the role is Kinnear's to accept or decline. Kinnear was most recently seen in Skyfall in the role of Tanner.

No, I think the Doctor needs to stay Gallifreyan. The whole "half-human on my mother's side" bit from the TV movie is best left forgotten. :laugh:

 

How about Peter Dinklage? It'd give him something to do between Game of Thrones seasons. . .

As if Matt Smith's Doctor entering his own timeline wasn't enough to make viewers' brains itch as if it was in a plaster cast, it's reported John Hurt's Doctor will play a

regeneration in-between that of Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston.

 

Costume designer Howard Burden is believed to have let this spoiler slip during yesterday's Royal visit to the BBC Studios in Wales. It's reported, by Cultbox, Howard said: 'There was a gap between Paul McGann playing the Doctor and Christopher Eccleston, when we didn?t see a regeneration, and John Hurt will fit into that gap. He is a past Doctor, not a future Doctor.'

 

To make this clear, Matt Smith's Doctor, when inside his own timeline, spoke to a Doctor from the past who we've never seen for the first time.

'Doctor Who' Moffat "no plans" to leave: 'I'm excited for new Doctor'

Steven Moffat has insisted that he has "no plans" to leave Doctor Who.

The showrunner confirmed his intention to stay with the BBC sci-fi drama through its eighth series - the first with the show's 12th Doctor - in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I've signed up for this next year, with the new Doctor," Moffat said. "It's one of those jobs when you know when you've had enough. At the moment, I haven't had enough and I'm thoroughly enjoying it."

The writer/producer added that he is "very excited" for the "challenge of... establishing [the] new Doctor".

"No plans to leave as yet," he affirmed. "But that doesn't mean I'll be here for 20 years. There will come that day when I think it's time someone else had a go and it's time I did something else."

Moffat also hinted that Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special will be "movie-length" and spoke about the "terrifying" search for an actor to replace Matt Smith.

Steven Moffat talks about the upcoming regeneration of the Doctor.

 

It?ll be the traditional regeneration. You know, the eleventh will fall and the twelfth shall rise. And you?ll see that in the closing moments of the show. I mean, you sometimes sit and think, ?Are there better ways of doing it? Is there a different way of doing it?? But quite honestly what could be better than that? It?s just too exciting. [Laughs]

They won't confirm who the next Doctor is till the end of July/early August. And they will announce when they are going to announce it. 

[Rappy Veteran]

I think the buzz was because journalists were told of a surprise and that surprise ended up being Peter Davison
