Well technically she's alive again.

Heather did say, if Bill ever wanted to be human and go back to her life she could.

How do you explain his body keep attempting to regenerate and he stops it?

hmm the ending really confused me wth happened there?

I don't get it, but something about the tear of Heather's that dripped onto Bill in episode 1 meant that she too could transform into whatever the hell Heather is and somehow Heather has the ability to make Bill human again if she ever wants to be.

But then, Bill also dripped her tear onto the Doctor so that will probably play a part at Christmas, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another appearance from her.

Both Matt Lucas and Michelle Gomez had "goodbye" videos on the official youtube channel. They didn't do one for Bill. :think:

what happened to Nardole I missed that bit

Maybe the last one we saw, in the snow, was the real one.

He's playing with the Waltons, getting them ready for when the Cybs eventually arrive.

Me about Nardole's entire presence and purpose in this season.

The 13th Doctor's being announced on Sunday!

Oh wow

The really annoying part is, when they reigned in the "comedy sidekick" bit and had him be a bit more serious he would actually have made a decent character. But they basically did that a bit a couple of times - hinted that there was more to the character - but then abandonned it and went back to him being (allegedly) funny.

Come through Jonathan Bailey!

Thinking Kris Marshall or a black actor

OR... Kris Marshall with blackface and breast implants. Really throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

Yeah I didn't get that.

I expected more to be revealed about those brief moments he got quite stern with the Doctor.

I don't think they've ever managed to keep anyone famous a secret. Peter Capaldi and David Tennant were prominent names on the rumours lists before they were confirmed.

So. Based on that if it's someone known it's 90% likely to be Kris Marshall. If not, it'll be an unknown like Matt Smith.

If it's a man it'll likely be someone young and attractive but I'm here for it being a woman.

I'd be here for the early rumours being true and Tilda Swinton taking it on, she'd be a one and done Doctor but I'd live for it.

I maintain that Kris Marshall was only rumoured because he happened to quit Death in Paradise at the same time as Peter Capaldi quit, and I'll keep maintaining that even after Kris Marshall is announced as the new Doctor

I'd hate it if it was Kris Marshall. He's woeful.

Not even Kris Marshall's mum would be happy if it was Kris Marshall

... I tried to find a kris marshall gif but he's so crap there wasn't even one :umm2:...

Kris Marshall is an icon and will double the viewing figures

Yeah, he'll double the viewing figures of whatever's on the other channel

To be fair, I thought I wouldn't like Smith and still rate him as my fav NuWhu, and I was also convinced I'd dislike Capaldi and have mostly enjoyed his take on the role... So I'm trying not to be skeptical. The character is almost always so well written, and has so much history to build on, that it would take a pretty special effort to completely screw it up... Surely...

Out of all the names floating around places like GallifreyBase, my favourites are Richard Mylan and Kris Marshall.

Kris Marshall would be awful. I'll be very disappointed if it's another white male (unless they're hot because I'm very shallow)

I'd settle for Adam Woodyatt

I want it to be Rupert Grint and he has to basically act exactly like Ron in Harry Potter. Like be totally useless and moany and never know what to do.

That's not Doctor Who then is it? That's Harry Potter.

No its Ron Weasly in a TARDIS, the best show ever made.

Capaldi's my favourite I think, he's the only one out of the four that has developed as a character over the course of his tenure. I think his interpretation is more interesting and there's more of a sense of pathos to what he does.

The material Capaldi's been given hasn't been the best but he's done everything he could with it.

I'm really going to miss Capaldi. I absolutely adored his interpretation and he's the best speech delivering Doctor.

I want an old man!

But less about Scott's Grindr.

Unless this is a double bluff and they are going to announce they are cancelling the entire series and there won't be a new Doctor after all
:devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:


Besides, I may be out tomorrow so won't get to see it...

Not that I'm bitter :mad: :mad:

I wish Capaldi was staying. I liked Matt Smith but felt about ready for him to leave, and Tennant's farewell parade of death put me right off Ten for years, but there still feels like so much more that could be done with Twelve, especially when not hampered by Moffat's writing.

I sort of agree with that I think... Smith had what seemed like a full proper "story arc" that came to a conclusion where his journey was done... Tennant actually sort of "lingered on" a bit... But the Capaldoctor (and Missy) arc does feel a bit like it's been cut short? Not sure about another full season but at least a half season to wrap it up might have helped.

Why do they never do that, anyway? Why are regenerations always at the beginning/end of a season /Xmas special? It would be awesome if they just plonked one in unannounced in the middle of an episode :joker:.

Everyone when it turns out to be an unknown actor/actress:

Anyone know when Wimbledon is due to end?

It just ended

The announcement is any second now :worry:
