I really wanted this to be Idris Elba... damn internet rumours.

He's fast becoming a big Hollywood star .. you won't see him doing something like Doctor Who unfortunately. He's just jumped ship from Luther.

yup. booo. Though I did read an article the other day in which he was discussing the Luther movie... good stuff

I'm also glad they didn't capitulate to the fanny whinge crowd. Dr Who is a bloody alien anyway, its gender is completely irrelevant!

It had to happen .. Malcom Tucker as the Doctor ..

I think that would improve it's overall viewing figures... of course, so would Jason Statham chinning a dalek...

I still hold that Pete Postlethwaite would make the ultimate Doctor - not least because to cast him you'd have to travel to when he was alive... thus sealing The Doctor as a true lord of time...

I guess it was never going to be Rolf Harris.

New trailer for Doctor Who special ... The day of the Doctor sounds a naff title but John Hurt and some decent CGI brighten things up ... :-)

Brian Cox on the science of DrWho on tv soon - Tuesday I think. Looks fun.

My kids are more excited about Doctor Who than xmas.  Of course that's because they're hoping there will be new toys to follow.

ZYGONS!!!!

suspiciousminds

Exactly!!
An amphibious humanoid race, the Zygons are notable for their ability to metamorphose into other living forms, as well as their use of organic technology. Centuries ago, a spaceship full of Zygons crash-landed in Scotland. Unable to return to their native planet, which had been destroyed in a solar explosion, they planned to make Earth their new home. Using their shape-shifting powers and a sea monster called the Skarasen, their plans were foiled when their leader Broton was shot by UNIT. The Skarasen returned to live peacefully in Loch Ness. As an anniversary present, the Eleventh Doctor took Amy and Rory to the Savoy Hotel on 26 June 1890. Unfortunately, half the staff turned out to be Zygons in disguise.

From the BBC:

The Night of the Doctor.

A mini episode, a prequel to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, will be made available via the BBC's interactive Red Button service from Saturday 16 November, a week before the main event lands

It will feature one of the three incarnations of the Time Lord – Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt – set to star in the feature-length special. But which one?

That was great.

After that I want David Bradley as the next Doctor. He was utterly brilliant playing Hartnoll. Wonderful work Anutie beeb, I'm convinced that Mark Gattis should run Who
