Yeah I think it'll be goodbye Rusty, goodbye Tennant, then a mini reboot. I will miss Tennant quite a bit now.
I thought we knew RTD was going from ages back, just didn't know who his replacement would be? Anyway, this'll be great, frankly Rusty can do whatever ludicrous bombastic shit he wants for the season finale now because we know it's in safe hands.

Well they're going to do Daleks because they ALWAYS do Daleks, so they might as well bring back Davros, the only character which made the Daleks enjoyable or even bearable.

I'm sorry if I inadvertently hit on some season-end megasecret.

Moffat said: "I applied before but I got knocked back 'cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven."

I'm so worried how they'll deal with the # of timelord regenerations. Will they find a loophole? I don't want the show to stop bcz they had to recycle actors too often.
Unlikely. Original series Master ran out of regenerations at least once, and he kept on coming back. They'll probably just say, "Well, with all the other Time Lords dead, all the regeneration energy went into the Doctor, and he'll live forever!" or some such shenanigans.

I reckoned as much, but the idea still scared me! Also lol Master.

Davies has been cantankerous all year so it doesn't surprise me that he's standing down.

If whasherface from Jekyll was just in an ep, does that mean we can have gina bellman and michelle ryan in, like, _several_ episodes when the new guy takes over?
pretty please?
― kingfish, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I have heard who Moffat wants for his next Doctor, but as its two years away, it may or may not work. I can give you a hint, its someone he has worked with before - but not on Jekyll (or the Greek version of Coupling).
They have black curly hair.

One hundred years ago, the universe's greatest library was sealed off, leaving only one warning: "Count the shadows". But now, the shadows are moving again. As Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues, the Doctor and Donna must uncover the terrible truth behind the Nodes and the horrifying Data Ghost, to find the library's secret.
Data Ghost!

If the rumours of Warreen Ellis writing are true, I'd fear for Sally to turn into a chain-smoking goth. With a bluetooth implant...
― carson dial, Thursday, 22 May 2008 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Warren Ellis? Oh, fuck, no! He'll make the Doctor a chain-smoking arsehole with a bluetooth implant who talks exactly like an idealised Warren Ellis (and every Warren Ellis hero EVER).
― James Morrison, Thursday, 22 May 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Neil Gaiman could write a good Who or two I reckon. Better than Ellis certainly, it's not really his style at all.

mid-season trailer. Bits of the next ep, Rose with a blaster, some folks in spacesuits walking around menacingly, and lookee lookee who pops up(sorta) at 0:46 in.
