    I LOVE Doctor Who :) I really hope to lose enough weight to do my fem doctor (11) costume for Gen Con in August. I finally convinced my hubby to start watching the show and now we have awesome doctor who nights.

    but rose grew on me, i didnt like her at first and now i root for her.

    Do we think it's John Hurt, or is he the inbetweeny doctor I can't think of the name of right now?

    Nah don't think it's Hurt - I'm thinking they might go off the reservation with it maybe female or the first black Doc which would be very different

    I'd kind of like to see Simon Pegg, although he's gotten a bit more popular in recent years, so maybe not.

    I'm not a fan of having a female doctor. Unless they found some way to make it Donna.

    Must say i dont fancy a female one either, i remember Pegg in The Long Game back in 2005 he was good as a villain in Dr Who

    I don't like the idea of a female Doctor either, nor am I into the idea of him being ginger yet!

    Can we have Tennant back?!

    I'd forgotten about The Long Game. I was so happy when they kicked Adam to the curb at the end; that kid was irritating.

    In addition to wondering who the next Doctor will be, I'm curious as to what his wardrobe will be like, since their personalities always seem to be reflected in the costume.

    I wonder if Jenna Louise Coleman is really back for the next series, with Smith leaving and her purpose kind of wrapped up with a bow?

    What is this anti-ginger hate speech!!! :laugh: I admit I thought the blonde one seemed odd though.

    Look like a no-go for Pegg.

    Pegg tweeted: "After a barrage of tweets on the matter, allow me to clarify, I am not in the running for, nor do I have any desire to be the next Doctor. I actually haven't watched the show since I was in it. I'm very method that way."

    Well! If he hasn't watched the show since he was in it, I'm definitely not lobbying for him to play the Doctor anymore. Really has to be someone who loves the show. I think that's why Tennant was so spectacular. They've got to live and breathe the Doctor.

    Agreed.

    I wish they hadn't used up Paul McGann already.

    I don't know if Ioan Gruffudd could handle it but I think he could look right; there is something unusual about his face, even back in his beautiful youth. I never got over them canceling Hornblower. But his acting career hasn't really give him much to do since then. Makes me sad.

    I read that the Dr can only regenerate 15 times....... Arent they going through them a little fast...Personally I want a male Dr ..... I don't feel the dynamic would be the same with a female dr

    I agree, except for maybe the idea that the *final* incarnation might interestingly be female--sort of a tao mature-yang-transforms-to-yin thing.

    I think trying to deliberately "mix it up" with a female or a minority is a bad idea, unless they can demonstrate that Gallifrey was ethnically diverse. Maybe they have, I could certainly have missed something.

    I'd thought it was 13 and therefore getting nervous, is it definitively mentioned anywhere? I guess the show runners can figure out a way around that but I agree they are burning through likely actors fairly quickly. Do the actors burn out on it after a couple of seasons?

    I used to think so too until I married one :) I must have sapped the ginge right out of him though, he faded to tawny brown.

    I think they threw the limited regenerations thing out the window when River gave him her regenerations in the Let's Kill Hitler episode. I believe it was 13 regens, initially.

    Somewhere, there is either a RTD or Moffat quote saying basically the same.

    Food for thought on the ages of the actors who've played The Doctor, through the year. Kind of neat!
