Doctor Who - Spoilers!

[pixletwin]

Well... It sounds both Christmasey and dreary in a way.

Most of what disappointed me is the regeneration.

 

[sueworld]

I have to admit it sounds awful, but hey millage may vary.

On another note here's Peter Capaldi's reply to a young girls fan letter.

 

[pixletwin]

Wow. How awesome is that?

 

[ProgMatinee]

his handwriting is atrocious. his hs look like ws and...

**** can be awkward.

 

[sueworld]

Aww bless him.

These are the cards he sent her too.

 

[Doctor Who]

I love this man.

 

[JonWes]

I love that Peter Capaldi got this part. So excited for him, just like I was for Tennant who was such a huge fan. I was just reading an article on the 1st Doctor docu-drama in DWM, and Mark Gatiss mentions how Capaldi visited the set and they were admiring the 1st Doctor TARDIS set. Capaldi was musing over the fact that he'd probably missed his chance to play the Doctor...

And now he IS the Doctor. So great. I am very excited to see what he does with it.

 

[lerath666]

he seems like he's REALLY getting into it.

LOVE IT.

" sorry it took so long to respond. Time ran out, then ran back in again"

LOVE. IT.

His handwriting is perfect. something about the frantic nature of it SCREAMS Dr. Who.

No wonder the Doctor got kicked out of the Timelord Academy

Can't wait for Capaldi's autobiography, he'll be calling everybody twats until you reallise there h's

 

[sueworld]

Well he's been a fan since he was young.

I worked out he must have been about 17 when he submitted these to this fanzine.

 

[pixletwin]

I'd seen the letter before but not the drawing. Great stuff.

 

[Kamandi]

I'm happy a fan is playing the character.

 

[pixletwin]

For those who are obsessive about regenerations (like me), a fan as finished off the War Doctor's regeneration. If the Beeb had seen it through it would have looked just like this, so you can see why they chose to only show the beginning (since the source they used for Eccleston wasn't open mouthed). But I can't help feeling they could have done it just a wee bit further.

It's easy to picture, once the regeneration has completed, his eyes rolling back and Nine collapsing unconscious on the floor.

It's a shame some Paul McGann footage wasn't somehow incorporated into the 50th special. It was a nice little one shot. I don't think it was ever on BBC America, only Youtube. Did they air in on BBC over there?

Do you mean from the mini-episode Night of the Doctor or something shot that was cut?

Yes, it was on our 'Red Button' digital features channel, as was our 'The Five Doctors Reboot (ish)' and our 3D version of the 50th special itself.

...
Capaldi's FIRST companion NEEDS to be Stormageddon, Dark lord of All.

 

[Kamandi]

Do you mean from the mini-episode Night of the Doctor or something shot that was cut?

Right. They could have footage from the mini episode in establishing JH's Doctor.

Oh well. Maybe there will be a director's cut.

 

[Magpie 7]

I don't think its been highlighted here, but there's a petition at Steven Moffat for Paul McGann to return as the 8th Doctor.

Even if he doesn't get a full blown series, i'd be happy with an episode where #12 starts by telling his companion(s) of a previous adventure involving #8.
