/who/ - Doctor Who General

Bad Wolf is heavily underrared episode. I'd place it in top5.

>I'm bringing back the Ice Warriors again, one of my favourite monsters. It's a thrill a minute. A sort of Bank Holiday Monday feel, the kind of Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs story of derring-do, which I've always loved. But it has a new twist - there is a new Ice Warrior in it, a new kind of Ice Warrior.

I still can't quite believe it. I honestly thought he would be the first Doctor in decades to break the absurd 3 season "rule".

Also, after all the critical acclaim for his acting in Heaven Sent, being the only speaking role (apart from one line) etc. Shit, at one point he was in the running for an Emmy nomination!

At least he'll be a hell of a Doctor for one more series. I need a hug /who/.

I'd much prefer Ben Wishaw. That said, I want his personality to be counter to his appearance. I don't want Tennant 2.0. I want a cocky, arrogant, and slightly sarcastic Doctor that has still his heart in the right place, even if he's grown much more conceited as a result of his long life span.

Also Volume 2 of Hurt's adventures is when things really start to kick off.

>>78971969
Looks too much like Matt Smith

Kinda happy he's leaving.

At least he won't be written shittily under Chibnall and this lends credence to the Moffat's Journey's End theory.

Literally described 12. Also, you're not getting that with Ben Wishaw. Also, he's already at the top of the bookies' list so you can be sure it won't be him.

I want the reverse of 12's character arc. He started grumpy and then grew more and more attached and fatherly towards Clara and subsequently more social and tactful. I want the Doctor to start off socially open due to his experiences with past companions but his darker traits start to come more and more to the surface until eventually he directly endangers those that rely on him for the sake of ego. 10 started down this path but immediately regretted his mistake and made an attempt to be better if all for not. I want this guy to continue to spiral and spiral into his pit of despair and anger until eventually it's revealed that this incarnation was the Valeyard all along.

>>78972097
I just want a decent actor.

>>78972195
Alfred Enoch is the son of William Russell, who played a popular companion of the 1st Doctor in the 1960s.

His most notable role so far has been as Wes Gibbins in 'How To Get Away with Murder', for which he was nominated for NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series twice.

IMO, he'd be popular the DW fanbase, has the acting credentials, is young and nice looking which will attract 'fangirls' back to the show, plus is bi-racial which would satisfy the anti-diversity and pro-diversity crowds. He's a win-win casting choice.

He's a good bet.

It really is fucking annoying that such an excellent actor like Capaldi had to deal with all the endless shit gimmicks Moffat's thrown his way since his arrival.

(4 years, 1 month)

Smith - April 2010 - December 2013
(3 years, 8 months)

Capaldi - August 2014 - December 2017
(3 years, 4 months)


NuWho Doctor lengths:

Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, Eccleston.

There's an injustice here...

Stephan dillane for next doctor. He'd ducking hate it, but he'd be good at it

>>78972981
Tennant has about the same number of episodes as SMith or Capaldi though, his extra year was the specials year (2009)

>>78973044
Capaldi's only gonna have had 40 episodes by the time he regenerates

>>78973107
He'll have hundreds of audios.

>>78972437
I'd be totally fine with it. No chance of it happening though.


>>78972872
>>78972921
He's one of the best actors to play the part, one of the most Doctorish Doctors ever - and it feels like so much of his potential has been squandered by substandard scripts, a lack of direction and general Moffat-burnout.

Unless season 10 turns out to have an uncommonly large number of fucking great episodes, Capaldi's going to have a pretty threadbare legacy of "Listen", "Mummy On The Orient Express" and "Heaven Sent".

Still, given that him and Moffat are leaving at the same time, there's a good chance he'll at the very least get a great sendoff episode. Though I do wish they'd stop fucking doing the regenerations at Christmas.

>>78973151
Seeing as he's a fan, hopefully. But Tennant's only done a few. Is the BBC holding them back?

>>78972524
After Hell Bent I finally admitted to myself that I disliked Clara. Now, knowing how much of Capaldi's time was wasted with such a shitty character, I'm starting to despise her.

>>78973197
Nah, they're just busy. Tennant has Broadchurch and it's quite difficult to get Karen and Arthur back to Cardiff or wherever they're recording the audios. Matt has more free time so maybe they'll do a 11xRiver box set.

>>78973184
>one of the most Doctorish Doctors ever

This! When he's in his red velvet suit with the mad hair, and those kind eyes under the paradoxical grimacing frown, that's exactly how I picture 'The Doctor'.

And I'm thinking that, since it's Moffat's last too, he'll do what he did with Doctor Mysterio. i.e, it's a Christmas special, but there's nothing Christmassy about it

>>78972634
Please post more Hayley so we can continue to evaluate her suitability for the role.

>>78973397
Could they give Atwell some sexy scenes if she was the Doctor? Or is that not family friendly enough?

>>78973483
Mate, smart is the new sexy.

>>78973460
No, she is, I agree. But I just don't see her a Doctor material. It's just my personal opinion, of course. Also there's the fact she's been in the show already, as a villain, so I don't see how they could incorporate that like they did with Capaldo.

I think she's great actress and has a lot of charisma. She can pull it off.

If the BBC ran a competition, looking for 'new talent', asking members of the public to submit audition tapes to YouTube for the role of the new Doctor to be judged by Chibnall and the BBC higher-ups, with the winner becoming the new Doctor, would you risk the ridicule of your peers and submit a public audition to YouTube (your rendition of the Rings of Akhaten speech)...?

>>78973926
Y'know what? Too androgynous. I mean, we don't need to cast a sex symbol, but if you're gonna cast a female doctor fuckin' cast a female doctor, y'know?

Will be a return to the Tennant style of Doctor.
Wouldn't rule it out for 14 though. But that's at least 2-5 years away.

Comic woman Doctor wont work. Making Miranda Hart the Doctor is like making Catherine Tate the Doctor. (aka everyone would be annoyed by second episode)

We need female Matt.
Hayley is too much of a female Matt, she is perfect.

Chinball is probably browsing this thread right now, looking for inspiration....

Most of the people you lot are suggesting are way too famous and in demand for Doctor Who.

Her show probably would have has better ratings if they dressed her like that consistently. At least she can move on to better things now.

Sounds reasonable.

I'm going to say it, a female Doctor will only work if she can act as if she has been a man most of her life. She has to remind the audience that she is basically a male in a female body, otherwise it's just going to feel like a completely different character, all the male Doctors made me believe through their acting and habits that they were the same man with a new face.

Because he's boring to them, he has no dirty secrets to hide, and he's older even tho he's not ugly they can't swoon over him and make articles about he's so hot to the young female readers.

Calling it now Doctor who is finished after Capaldi. The 13th Doctor whoever they are is going to suck and Chibnall will sink the ship within a year. Doctor who will be cancelled again.

Faye Marsay would be a good female doctor.

What they really need is a new showrunner and writers though.

>>78973829
Chibnall will be bad. But only Moffat is capable of the Gallifrey-sized clusterfuck that is Hell Bent.

I love the Pie Lord too and he made the best out of a bad situation, but he was a horrible choice for the casting.

>>78974669
I mean, I'd argue that his performance was fine, it's just the writing and his outfit that tarnished his era.

Much like with 12

Really intrigued as to what will be the cause of 12's regeneration.

11's was disappointing, but fitting to his era.

>>78974638

>>78974669
nope, big finish 6 isn't the best of a bad idea, it's shows that he was good enough for the role.

maybe 5 was a mistep

>>78974717
His performance was fine but he was a bad casting. The idea for making this beloved family TV icon an unlikable twat (dressed like a clown) was a fucking awful idea. Colin was great to play that character but it never should've been the main character, one of the things that killed the show.

>>78974728
Do we predict it'll be a sudden shock (like 7) or a long winded affair (ala 10 and 11)?

Suddenly I love idea of femDoctor.

>>78974784
Ah okay, I see what you're saying.

>>78973615
>>78973667
How high up in these was Capaldi before he got cast?

>>78974787
His last episode will start goofy comedy one with him pretending to be a civil servant in 2009.

>>78974787
Expecting he'll save the day, everything will appear fine, he'll be happy and smiley, and then a Weeping Angel will appear from nowhere and grab him by the neck.
The only way to get rid of the Angel will be for Nardole to look away to press the controls to open an air lock. Doing so, the Angel snaps his neck.

>>78973779
Too meme. It'd be cool if he guess starred though.

It's not gonna be a huge star
It's not gonna be a woman. The BBC took a risk with Capaldi and due to some stupid decisions with regards to scheduling and scripting, they think he failed (C Baker all over again)

It's gonna be a 30 something man in the vein of Tennant that the fangirls can get excited over. Mark my words.

>>78974045
>Kidneys, I have new kidneys! And what are these? They are big and firm!

>>78974814
Yeah I probably phrased it wrong. The problem with 6 is that he's such a niche character, fuckers like us or "Whovians" back the day totally can dig a dickass Doctor but it really narrowed the appeal. An aloof professor like McCoy was the best next step, they just took too long to get there.

>>78974864
Do we need a succesful streak to get a woman or old man?

It doesn't get said much, but does anyone else think the Doctor closest to Capaldi's is Tom Baker? It's not just the smile, Capaldi is the only actor since to really try and channel that "cosmic" otherworldiness, probably because he knows the character better than anyone ever cast. 12 is really just an older, slightly grumpier version of 4, you can see it time and time again.

>>78974958
Likewise, he could be good.

Me too. I wasn't into it at first, but the idea of Hayley Atwell changed my mind.

>>78975094
Think with your brain, and not with your dick.

It would kill the show.

>>78974998
his early grumpiness mad me think of 3 but upon watching more carefully he does the 4 thing extremely well.

I told someone once that Pc was a combination of 1,3 and 4 and they didn't even believe me.

>>78971845
Whoa.

Hey, wasn't that Ninth Doctor clip from "The Parting of Ways" as well? Is it possible that every single Doctor saved Gallifrey before embarking on their final adventures before regenerating?

I think it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIrTCkJx7zc

Why didn't they just use this theme?

>>78975107
Sure, she's hot, but that's not why I think she'd work. I really liked her performance in Agent Carter, and can see some enough similarities between that role and the Doctor that I could see her succeeding. I also feel like she has the potential to draw in some younger viewers.

May have jumped the gun, but >>78975194

>>78971992
What is this "Journey's End Theory" you speak of?

>>78975153
There really isn't that much 3 in him. Everyone was expecting 3, but past him looking dapper as fuck in velvet jackets and having amazing grey hair, Capaldi plays The Doctor much closer to 4. It's not just the creepy smile, the enthusiasm for things, when he goes full "cosmic" and gives lectures about space and time, he practically uses Tom Baker's voice, and they are both the kinds of Doctors with a huge amount of physicality to will be goofing off one moment and then stern the next.

What's more interesting is that no-one else since Tom Baker has really tried it this much. I think that goes to show how confident an actor Capaldi is, that he is comfortable with the parametres of all the different Doctors to maybe steer nearer the most famous of all than anyone else has dared.

The times when Capaldi isn't channeling Tom Baker, are the times the writers just write him as Space Malcolm Tucker, anyway.

>>78975107
I don't think talented actors should be discriminated against because they are hot women with big breasts.

>>78975214
Far too early. Fuck off.

>>78974975
He was good but my daughter found him "too oogley", I don't know what that means.

people think The Doctor is like a job, anyone who's a good actor can fit the role.
not realising it's a an actual character.

in short, it's about being appropriate for the role rather than being good enough.

>>78975386
Daughter? Chibnall isn't gay?
>>78975416
Yep. You also need a love of the show and a deep understanding of it to pull it off

>>78972981
> le "years as The Doctor" measurement
That stuff does not matter in the long run.

Stories > Episodes > Seasons > Years.

Tennant has the most Episodes but he, Capaldi, and Smith will be tied in season count. Furthermore, Smith has the most stories of New Who.

If we talk Classic Who Hartnell and Troughton have episode counts that rival Tom Baker's in spite of being The Doctor "for three years/seasons."

>>78975309
Agreed. And Hayley is a legitimately talented and professional actor. Who just happens to have huge, pale, mouth-wateringly perfect shaped tits.

>>78973037
He's going to be 60 this year. Too old and not even "Tennant/Smithtard" old. Cast him as a new villain though.

Average age for an actor starting out as The Doctor is 40/41 so fully agreed. I think it will help recalibrate the general understanding of what the traditional age of The Doctor is.

I doubt stuff like The Pillars of the Earth that she did is much better paid than what Capaldi earns.

IT'S

SHIT

I'M ALREADY DISAPPOINTED

>>78975509
> love of the show
The only Doctors to have been fans of the show were Davison, Tennant, and now Capaldi.

> deep understanding
Did Hartnell through Baker understand Doctor Who or did they play their part and influence it in their own ways over time?

>>78975919
I'd say 10 minutes of Marvel flick screentime is paid more than 13 episodes of Capaldi's work

>>78975841
It's hard to say what her salary norms are, though. I know she's been working for US network television lately, but she may not be a big enough name to command a huge salary per episode compared to other Amercians. Overall, the majority of her work as been in the UK. Plus she loves doing theatre, which is obviously less of a time commitment than multiple years of playing the Doctor, but would still be shit salary for a few months.

I read an interview before where she joked that she can be hired for pretty cheap, but that was a few years ago, so maybe I'm grossly underestimating how much she's actually able to demand.

>>78974817
Nowhere. He came out of nowhere the day before.

>>78975919
Not that anon, I think she might. But Pillars of the Earth was 6-7 years ago. Eddie Redmayne was in that as well and I highly doubt he would do it.

>>78975957
I don't know, look how little (comparatively speaking) Daisy Ridley got for Star Wars, and that's for headlining a known and loved franchise. Hayley was a supporting character in her first Marvel movie and was basically as unknown (to Americans) as Daisy at the time. I'm sure she still did well, but maybe not as crazy well as we think.

>>78974817
I remember seeing his name getting thrown around a few weeks before the announcement

Am I the only who cant relate to Doctor character if actor behind him isnt kind and nice person?

>>78976049
Eddie's career as of late has taken off considerably more than Hayley's, though.

>>78976141
Who else besides Hartnell and (debatably) Eccleston?

Davison wasn't even a fan that much. He was just the first Doctor that had actually watched it before.

I feel pretty confident that 13 will be a fairly unknown handsome black English actor in his 20s or 30s so screencap this.

I wasn't the anon you were replying to FYI, but I get your point.

How come no NuWho Doctors, with the exception of Christopher Eccleston, ever surpassed three seasons?

I feel heartbroken for Capaldi but everyone seems to have forgotten about Pearl Mackie. She's almost certainly out the door after just 13 episodes, if she's lucky. And being black and quite plain looking Doctor Who will probably be her career peak. Sad really.

>>78977083
Tennant and Capaldi both wanted to leave when they still loved it and didn't want it to become just work. Matt Smith mistakenly thought he was going to become a huge Hollywood star and left when he could have stayed and now regrets it.

>>78977118
Is there a chance we might get a couple of specials with Capaldi like we did Tennant before Capaldi departs?

>>78977110

>>78977110

Also it's not Hollywood, looks don't matter as much over here. If she can act she'll have a future, if not she'll be able to milk being in Doctor Who to get middling roles forever.

>>78977172
So we get the first black and first woman Doctor?

Matt Smith was going to but Moffat kicked him out. And the only explanation we got was a "disagreement: between the two but we're told Matt willingly left the role. Watch his little bit during the Capaldi announcement, he was so fucking disappointed and clearly didn't want to talk about it.

this is why he's the best nuWho doctor. he's the first one to actually play him as an irascible alien, which is what he should be; what he is, rather than some kind of oestrogen bait.

Capaldi understood what The Doctor was supposed to be.

God I will miss him.

New thought on Chibs:

He saved Torchwood. How? Instead of him+Rusty writing 5 episodes and rewriting the other 8 in series 1, he just wrote the opener and closer and edited other people's scripts in series 2. And he didn't force the John Hart arc story too hard.

So the good old boys decided to help, and just get rid of those pesky laws. So, guv'nor, rest easy that this assassination attempt was purely legal, and I'm not breaking any rules.

The Doctor should not be female but if a woman is indeed cast I'll give her as much of a chance as any. After all, I can't get enough of Missy.

As for Bill, well, time will tell I guess. With any luck though she will not be special. Just a working class young woman who joins The Doctor for adventures just like the old days. That alone would be a point in her favor.

>>78978764
>The Doctor should not be female

>>78978294
yes. if you read the original description of Dirk you'd know that.

>>78978764
