Doctor Who... Page 8
Good point.
Although I like it both ways...
He does it an awful lot,
Dr the Sontarrans are about to destroy the earth
Eurrgghh! I just came
Dr I just shot your daughter
Euurrrrgghh! I just came.
Maybe Tennant is such an atrocious actor, the only way he can emote at all, is a hard core game of pocket billiards?
Wow post dinner time talk of Tennant's Genital discharge you girls really need a man
Sooty started it! 
Sooty you need a man, or keep you cravings til after 2 dude.

Well, I look forward to seeing him in the flesh this year. In his umpteenth play for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
I hear they love a bit of atrocious acting.
To be honest I need Liz Sladen circa 1974, and that other one who made ropy porn films with Robert Asquith.
Any way Gavin, can you give a better analogy for Mr Tenant's acting talents.

Meh.

Complete arse gravy. What pantomimes have you been to?? Thats a really outdated view, going back to Whos 80s period when they made it look cheap and garish and cast people like Bonnie Langford and Ken Dodd. To say that about todays version is so far wide of the mark its ridiculous and a little insulting to the people who do like it, not to mention those who write the thing. It really annoys me when people say things like that, looking down their noses at something thats made with so much passion and love. And where do you get the 'they cant act' thing from? What show is it youve been watching? Some of the best actors in the country leap at the chance to be invloved. And Freema Agyeman. It just strikes me as a faintly snobbish view to hold and pisses me off no end. So there.
I've seen the RSC and they've had some stinkers, they'll take any one who'll raise their profile.
Maybe he'll get lucky, and they'll be a role that involves pooing, wanking or both.
He'd be really good at that.
"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for an eeeurrrggghhh!"
I love it, and I watch every episode. There's nothing wrong with a bit of pantomime, and I watched some of the old Bonnie Langford episodes they're not as bad as they're made out to be.
It's the faux serious one's that can be a bunch of arse. Albeit Ecclestone was unusual in being the only good actorly Dr ever.
When I say pantomime, I mean it has a colourful campy sense of fun. Like Star Trek, or Lost in Space at their hights.
Scifi doesn't always have to be serious.
Weirdly, I found Ecclestone very pantomime-ish in the role. That manic grinning was just weird.
Each to their own!
I like there being light and dark in Doctor Who. You don't want it to be campy fun all the time. And Tennant is the only one who can carry off both those styles perfectly. In my opinion.
Ecclestone was crap at trying to be fun and lighthearted.
Aah but that Dalek episode, or the first one with Captain jack, or the the one where he got pissed off with Rose for changing time, or the Space Big Brother one?
And his campy friendship with Jack was about one of the best things in Who.
I like Tennant, and I enjoy watching him. But then I also enjoyed Tom Baker, when he clearly should have been on much stronger medication.
In fairness Ecclestone didn't do the light so well.

Not serious doesnt mean pantomime though, pantomime is nothing like Who; to comapre it to pantomime is a sort of sneery point of view; nothing described as pantomime, except for a pantomime, would take that as anything other than an insult. And I love eighties Who, which wasnt pantomime-y either, just very badly lit, dressed and cast!

Eccleson was a very dark Doctor compared to Tennant, I think his light and fluffy didnt quite come across as well as Tennant but I still preferred the storylines.
Really though Tennant has had darker stories killing the spider woman by draining the thames etc...Strange really
