She's probably watching the Doctor to make sure he finds River's echo device (that she might have installed herself to counter the GI being responsible for River's death).

Well, I'm 27 and my first thought when I saw the new Doctor was "OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD" ... the fact he's Ollivander doesn't hurt either! The guy has an amazing filmography, if anyone can pull this off, this guy can.

He's not "the new Doctor". The 12th Doctor has yet to be revealed.

The Telegraph is poo poo but that's more in terms of viewpoints and political leanings. As far as actual news goes, it's not really in the same league as the Sun/Mail/Express for outright making poo poo up for fluff entertainment stories so who knows. I can't imagine for a moment though that Rory Kinnear is seriously going to be the next Doctor though, he's just...acting wallpaper, innit? There's no spark, no buzz there.

That's why I'm so interested in what his costume would be like if he were the Doctor. I'm thinking they'd have to have at least some Tom Baker level eccentricity to make up for his blandness.

Matt Smith is not conventionally handsome but he's definitely 'good looking'. I'd be very surprised if the new Doctor isn't above average looking.

I picked up the book the other day for my kids and gave it a read with this comment in mind. It doesn't answer anything. It is its own self-contained adventure. There's a lot of nice bits in there which are references to prior Companions, but it doesn't connect at all with the cliffhanger.

He was born in London, and speaks with an RP accent.

Seven, Nine and Ten are the only ones who didn't speak with RP, which I guess makes sense, because when the start "touring the regions," it makes you think for a moment how the TARDIS translation thing is supposed to work, which should be a hand-wave that you forget about.

Still, "Lots of planets have a north!" was fun, Sly's accent is great and Tennant's put-on accent really works for him. It'd be kind of comforting to hear an Irish brogue, but I don't think it's in the cards.

Apparently, Hurt's Doctor has been spoiled:

Burden told The Telegraph that Hurt will be playing a “dark Doctor” which will fit between the 8th and 9th Doctor. He told the Telegraph:

There was a gap between Paul McGann playing the Doctor and Christopher Eccleston, when we didn’t see a regeneration, and John Hurt will fit into that gap. He is a past Doctor, not a future Doctor.

As soon as pictures of John Hurt appeared online, rumors began circulating that suggested this because it appears that Hurt’s costume is combining both McGann a’s and Eccleston’s look.

Red Dwarf was added to Netflix recently, so I've been rewatching it. I forgot how great The Cat was, and now I really really want Danny John-Jules to play the 12th Doctor. (especially if he starts marking everything as his territory with a can of hairspray)

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Something that I started thinking about a while back that has probably been debunked is what if Secret Doctor was actually between 2 and 3?

It doesn't seem like there's a typical regeneration scene between 2 and 3 like most other regenerations, and the Doctor tends to look older during earlier regenerations, so Hurt seems like he could fit appearance wise between 2 and 3 more than between 8 and 9. Also, it doesn't seem like 2's regeneration happened under the 'best' conditions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_xRkPUMHhc

Technically, being so early in his regeneration cycle, too, it would mean that whatever he did in that persona would perhaps carry with him for more of his life than a relatively recent event.

The fantasy and science fiction author Stephen Hunt is reporting that at last night’s rehearsals for the Doctor Who-themed proms at the Albert Hall, the staff gathered there were briefed on a section of the proms where the identity of the new Doctor will either be revealed, or they will actually walk out live on stage tonight (that’s the first night of the Dr Who proms on Saturday 13th July).

Probably not. They'd want a bigger audience than some prom that's not even going out live.

Carole Ann Ford has been really active in the Doctor Who community lately. I guess it wouldn't make much sense to give her a part these days. Her story kind of finished up, they'd have to find a way to write in another Timelord, and realistically, she'd probably have regenerated. Still, it would be nice if they could give her a chance at the role again, especially since she feels like she didn't have the opportunity to do her best with it before. :unsmith:

They could cast her as the elderly Rani before she regenerates.
