Doctor Who... Page 1,037

Not much point commenting since you faggots will just ignore what I say.

Moffat's writing increasingly resembles some desiccated parody of Noël Coward. It seems he cannot write anything without chucking in some brittle and affected man/woman after-dinner repartee.

And instead of a flirty, titty woman with ringlets called Riversong, we get his laziest piece of characterisation yet - a flirty, titty Elizabeth I that seems partly drawn from Ben Elton's Queenie, idiotically joking about cutting off heads.

Moffat's envisioning of the Doctor as the lover of famous historical women: Madam De Pompadour, Cleopatra and now Elizabeth I is just a projection of his own vainglorious self-image. And like the show's other big-ego producer Nathan-Turner, he has now cast an actor who actually resembles him in the role.

Peter Capaldi is a fantastic choice - but so was Matt Smith. With Moffat writing the scripts however it will still die on it's arse.

I really wish he'd just f**k off.

Hurt definitely has to budge everyone else up one place now, and become the 9th Doctor. I don't care what anyone says.

Just before (or maybe after) we got a glimpse of Capaldi's eyes I heard "thirteen" said, so I think Hurt is officially the 9th Doctor now. I'm not sure why people argued this point anyway.

Did they superimpose his face on John, just for a split second?

Yeah, I think they did. I thought Ecclestone was actually going to turn up at that point. Never mind, we got Baker instead who trumps everyone else.

Apparently the (limited) cinema screenings in the UK on Saturday pulled in 1.7 million in box office. Not bad!

Maybe this means they'll make another Peter Cushing style film. Or maybe not.

There will be a film version of the farting aliens two parter, with Jason Statham as Doctor Who, who invented a time machine in his back garden.

And they had a couple of funny scenes before the Movie.

The Cinema Etiquette Sontaran style

& the Two Doctors explaining how the 3d works

And Ralf Little will be his Bernard Cribbins.

Ooh, just seen that bit on the repeat. Somehow didn't notice it before.

Doesn't necessarily mean he'll be known as 'number 13', just referencing there were 13 Doctors in all. If you get what I mean...
Either way it's going to be a bit confusing.

Ha -

That will be the onscreen credit.

'Ralf Little IS Bernard Cribbins'

Did you have the old advocaat out last night?

Nope. But now you've reminded me it's there...

Yes thirteen unless someone pushes another red button. The twonks don't realise they could just go back to Tom Baker Who for example , or Hartnel or whoever set up, and use another actor.

Pretty sure they'll just get past the regeneration rule. It's been shown to be possible before, even way back in the classic series.

Of course.. Just floating the idea of a series of a previous 'character' of The DocTor again. Imagine Joss Wheedon rebooting the Unit era .
