Meet the New 'Doctor Who'

So what do you think of the new Doctor Who?


Matt Smith

Until I see him act, I will try to reserve judgement. But he seems too young!

In any case, no matter who plays Dr. Who, I will watch them and regardless of what I think of the new Dr., he too will play the part for a time and then ceed to the next one.

interesting...
we'll see how he does. I just hope the writing continues as it has. Is Russell T. Davies still on the show?

I will miss David Tennant ofcourse. Haven't seen the Christmas special yet. When does he regenerate? If it's on the special don't tell me, lol.

Is Russell T. Davies still on the show?

I heard he is leaving also. I'm not sure how I feel about that one.

The new Doctor Who seems a bit young. As with melodiccolor, I will reserve my judgment until after I see him act.

I've seen the Christmas special... downloaded and and have it on a CD now too. It's another good one. I will definitely miss David Tennant also... he's been a great Doctor Who.

what christmas special? i missed one? i have the tivo set to automatically record new dr. who episodes, dangit.

The Christmas Special was broadcast in UK only so your tivo would not have recorded it.

Reamsie posted a link in the thread "Re: What are you watching right now?" in "Off the Deep & Shallow End" to where you can download it. Don't know if it is still a viable download tho... hope it is. Good luck.

Ohhh good; another Dr Who fan to join the club. When Reamsie and I first came to Aimoo (we arrived just one day apart) it took us very little time to figure out both of us were big Dr Who fans. Little did we know there were so many others out there among hsp's. I love it.

I've been watching religiously since they invented TiVo!

I checked out his interview, on winning the role. Honestly, yeah, he seems a bit young, but truth be told, watching it, I could see what went through the producers head....I think he will make a very good Doctor, I just don't think they wanted to wait a few more years for him to get a bit of maturity. Any ways, since when have you seen the BBC do less than an impeccable job in casting?

I Love David Tennant too, but he felt it was time to move on.

BBC did much less than an impeccable job of casting with the actor who played Dr. Who after Peter Davidson did. That actor was sour and sarcastic and very unlikable. I think they cast him to contrast with Davidson's sweetness and way overdid it. So when they revived Dr. Who with Chris Eclastion (sp?), I was concerned until I saw him and then I was very happy. And then David Tenent; it was even better.

Maybe the current directors are the same ones who cast Eclastion and Tenent also cast the new one. In which case, yeah, it will probably turn out well. So you could see the potential the producers saw in him? Very encouraging. No new crush for Reamsie though; this doctor is just too young.

I meant the more current episodes in regards to casting.
I agree that Dr Who went down hill after Peter Davidson I Had such a big crush on him when I was a kid.

Adain, I think Peter Davidson played a very hsp Dr. Who and he was one of my all time favorites. I had a wee bit of a crush on him too.

Thanks BlueEyes. I know I'll be checking it out when I have a bit of time. So will the others.

I don't if anyone has seen this site but it has all the Doctor Who's including the new ones.

Enjoy

Meet the newest doctor. I think I am going to really like this one.

I don't want to be a wet blanket or anything...but this guy is just not doing it for me. I just don't feel that wild confident spark that the last three doctors had. I suspect this may turn out to be a poor choice of casting...but hopefully it's just me! LOL
