There isn't a single iteration of The Doctor who wouldn't gently caress with someone because it was funny, given the chance.

Have any examples of 5 loving with people?

Earnest question. I can't personally think of any, but I've only watched his run once.

I know there's no way but God I really want Tamsin Grieg.

In an old thread I saw somebody suggest that her, Dylan Moran, and Bill Bailey should be co-Doctors and it's not clear which one of them it actually is. I've always loved that pipedream.

So it's agreed and 100% confirmed, Idris Elba will be cast as both the Doctor AND James Bond.

While also doing the Dark Tower series. He's gonna be busy!

Turns out the monster in the premiere is... a glass shark.

Like, Hercule Poirot is definitely a Sherlock Holmes adaptation.

Maybe in the shallowest possible ways. As characters they are very different.

I can't imagine Poirot getting involved in any substance abuse, for instance.

I'm a golden age of detective fiction nerd and he's absolutely not.

I do think that it's fair to say that Hastings was probably inspired by Watson, but he's not even in the actual stories nearly as much as he's in the TV adaptation. (Not that I'm complaining, Hastings was great in the TV show.)
