Countrycide was at least good for still being the only episode of nuWho/spinoffs where the answer to the mystery wasn't 'aliens'.

Just for fun (*) I'm going to remove this bookmark and unsubscribe from a few news feeds and just see whether there's any way I can stay unspoiled on this until Christmas.
(*) It won't be fun, it'll be annoying.

Hang on, when I typed Countrycide last night I meant Cyberwoman.

after the men's final, so it could be on Monday as well?
― StanM, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:02 (eight years ago)
Unlikely, because they'll close the roof on centre court and get the final finished tomorrow.
― ailsa, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:05 (eight years ago)
oh, right - I forgot about the roof

For those like me who just got lost temporarily that's Pierce Brosnan

who is the worst person they could cast? (as in worst person who is halfway plausible, not like Nigel Farage or someone) (I think someone might have mentioned James Corden as an answer to this question upthread?)
― soref, Sunday, 16 July 2017 13:51 (eight years ago)
Ricky Gervais?

I'm slightly bemused that Tom Allen has spread to Australia - is it because of his Who history?

Bonnie Langford? Is she still with us?
Johnny Depp.
James Corden is hopefully making too much in the U.S. to ever consider it.
I think that Merlin guy might be pretty good.

Corden is the one I cannot see being redeemed by any amount of good writing. I didn't like the chances of Capaldi but he turned out okay afaict. Corden though just seems to lack the appropriate strings in the harp of his being
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)
corden was quite good in his two who performances. I don't think he'd be a good doctor though.
― akm, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:40 (eight years ago)
oh God yeah, David Walliams would be my nightmare pick. Or Alan Davies or someone. Hugh Dennis. argh.
― kinder, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:41 (eight years ago)
you know who would be really good is Arthur Darvill, based on his work on Legends of Tomorrow (which is a generally stupid show). He basically plays the Doctor there. He's great.
― akm, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:42 (eight years ago)
There's a certain attraction to the idea of a Doctor who dies in every episode..
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:45 (eight years ago)
so... Roger Federer is the next Dr. Who?

We're all the next Doctor Who.

no she wasn't in Eastenders!

She was also in Attack the Block, if you want to see her fight some aliens.

fine choice. would have preferred fleabag but it sounds like she's busy.

I wanted Fleabag Space-Mitford too, but Jodie Whittaker is good.

Threads elsewhere about this are hugely depressing.
― I'm make-believe. (jed_), Sunday, 16 July 2017 15:48 (eight years ago)
she really got on my nerves on broadchurch to be honest, but the part called for it. I'm sure she's capable of toning it down.
― akm, Sunday, 16 July 2017 15:49 (eight years ago)
the FB comments on this are horrifying. but expected.
Holy shit

Two to one says some goof somewhere is plotting to crowdfund their 'real' 13th series, Doctor Man, for men what are tiresomely men.

This thread is now two incarnations old (and ignores the other Capaldi thread), perhaps we should start another? Of course without a title that would be a casting spoiler.

Who else was in ATB? Clearly that movie was just an audition tape for future franchise fanboy brain melters
