Bookies Betway are reporting a new favourite in the frame to be named the next Doctor Who, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge plummeting from 20/1 to 2/1 in the past 24 hours.

Maybe it is one of the reasons he left because the stories just were not there.

Its a shame he hasnt had one of those episodes that everyone will always remember

It was the other way around for me; I thought I'd dislike him more than I did. But then again I might be the only person in the world who thinks Matt Smith is better than David Tennant. .

Main problem with both of Capaldi's series, in my opinion, is that they were more The Clara Show than about The Doctor...

I wouldn't say he's really leaving prematurely, 3/4 seasons has been standard for the last 3 doctors... But then...

I think this is true and it's what makes it feel like he hasn't been around as long as Tennant or Smith. They had so many "big moments", a lot happened for them, whereas not a lot has happened for Capaldi so it doesn't feel like he's had a huge amount of time. The only really "big" episodes for me were the ones on Scarro and then the one where he spends billions of years punching through Diamond...... And both of those were sort of... Stupid. The living sewage dalek thing was ridiculous... And I don't even know where to start with the diamond punching.

What about the 2nd part of the Zygon story in series 9 with the anti war speech?

When Doctor Who returns to BBC One on April 15, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) will meet a new friend, Bill Potts.

Now, actress Pearl Mackie – who plays Bill – has confirmed that her character is openly gay, saying that "representation is important, especially on a mainstream show".

"It shouldn't be a big deal in the 21st Century," she told the BBC. "It's about time isn't it?

"It's important to say people are gay, people are black.

"I remember watching TV as a young mixed race girl not seeing many people who looked like me, so I think being able to visually recognise yourself on screen is important.

"[Being gay] is not the main thing that defines her character – it's something that's part of her and something that she's very happy and very comfortable with."

Slay

I'm all for removing any chance of "love stories' between the Doctor and the companion, so hopefully Bill stays on after Capaldi leaves.

FFS

I've written about Doctor Who and its lack of gay representation but I can't include Bill because the episode airs after my dissertation is due and I have nothing to cite from

I'm gonna (virtually, I don't want to be arrested) stab Steven Moffat

Sorry, I don't have such an item

I would be excommunicated if I did as they are seen by some groups as Satanic items of divination

With these people you just can't win

Capaldi would never. Clara wanted it sooo bad and he was too classy to go there.

He was like "Yes I punched through a diamond wall for 12 billion years for you but no you still cannot touch my Danny Pink you moon faced hussy".

He has a duty of care .

I think you're confusing all churches with the Westboro Baptist Church
