... 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:

I'd actually prefer this.

At least it would prevent what we always get at the start with people not being able to shake off the fact that it is Christopher Eccleston or Peter Capaldi.

Give them a chance to hand out the medals love.

Imagine it was someone random like Linda from Eastenders or something.

Would ANDREW CASTLE SHUT UP!!!

I don't give a flying **** about the tennis!!!!
