Really, though, I respect his approach to establishing new roles rather than picking up ongoing ones. I know, in this thread of all places...

I've no doubt Elba would be very good as James Bond but I think he'd be too similar to Craig. (Random observation that Craig has been Bond for as long as Roger Moore was and he's managed to get half as many movies out - hardly his fault obviously but an odd thing to think about.)

The Time Lords are the most advanced civilization in the universe but you know they have clickbaiters and spammers trying to take advantage. I recall an audio where it turns out the TARDIS has a gigantic backlog of messages and the Doctor misses a lot of important ones because he's not willing to wade through all the spam.

On the other hand, Craig has managed to avoid having a comedy American sherrif in any of his films so far. Nor has he dressed as a clown to defeat the plans of Steven Berkoff, gone into space or had sex with Grace Jones, so it's a very mixed bag.

The Six/Charley run in general is pretty good. It's got one of my favourite Six moments in when at the end of Patient Zero he just HAS to go back and taunt the Dalek time controller and accidentally prompts it to let the station explode, scattering the viruses and creating the causal loop that started the events in the first place. Because Six CANNOT KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.

Forget all that, Catherine Tate to play the Doctor. That's not even a joke, imagine Catherine Tate as the Doctor. Then imagine telling yourself prior to The Runaway Bride that Catherine Tate would be ideal as the Doctor. Then cry because it won't happen.

Moffat's discussion of it makes it sound like they phone and email a lot but haven't even met in person to discuss the switchover, and if they've wrapped on filming, you'd really think the director would have known about it. They've definitely already cast the Doctor, but I don't even know who "they" includes besides Chibnall.

From memory Moffat did say the plan was to handle the regeneration in exactly the same way RTD handled his handover. RTD and his crew filmed David Tennant's final scene, then they all filed out and Moffat and his crew came in with Matt Smith to film his part. I think there was a bit on Confidential about it which included Tennant seeing Matt Smith walking onto set wearing Tennant's wardrobe and commenting on how strange it felt to see another actor not only occupying the role but literally wearing his clothes too.

That's (part of) why he quit - he was filming A View To A Kill discovered he wasn't just older than the Bond girl; he was older than the Bond girl's mother (the other reason he quit was that he though the movies were getting too violent - he's supposed to have really, really hated the scene where Christopher Walken machine guns a bunch of people while cackling insanely). Have actually been watching The Saint lately and it's not hard at all to see why Roger Moore was apparently on their radar to succeed Connery throughout the 1960s. I was actually a bit surprised to find myself deciding that Moore played a fairly decent Holmes in Sherlock Holmes In New York City (co-starring Patrick Macnee as Watson). The_Doctor posted:Didn't Kilroy go off the deep end with Brexit? <googles> Oh, right. He made a political party called... Veritas. Oh, I'm fairly sure Kilroy-Silk went off the deep end long before Brexit was a glint in Sir James Goldsmith's eye.

I love how (relatively) cheap Who stuff is in London. Hotel didn't have my room ready on time, so I killed an hour in Forbidden Planet and came out with Power of The Daleks, Nightmare of Eden, Time & The Rani (forgive me), The Visitation, and The Daemons for £8 each (~$10.50). All cheaper than their US counterparts (and Eden is OOP), and the only caveat is having to play them in my region free player. Also picked up a 5.5" 12th Doc fig in his best costume; check trousers, hoodie, pink tee

I was going to say it felt like a last-minute announcement and I was wondering if the BBC got word that the name was going to leak, but that's a far too slickly produced video for that to be the case.
