Doctor Who 2008: Sontarans cometh, RTD Ood 'ave 'im etc.

Let's see what she can do.

BTW, David Tennant's going to be in series 3 of Sarah Jane, I saw, in a proper Doctor/Sarah story (rather than as a vision or a flashback or something).

The total absence of music in that clip made it even more freaky.

The guy appears to be turning into an Ice Warrior about the mouth - or is that just wishful thinking?

Whoops"

Is this Moffatt? Looks that way.

I thought they were all Rusty for the rest of the year?

Yes, no Moffatt until 2010.

Tweedy. I approve. Hopefully this will put an end to the 'OMG it's going to be like Hollyoaks' handwringing.

Also the girl is so cute.

That clip is terrifying. Good work!

^ this. I've been a bit worried about the youngness of it all, but if Smith's different slant is actually going to be old-man-with-young-man's-features (yes yes, I know that's the point, but it's not really been played that way due to Love Interest bollocks), then yay.

It is a bit like the Giles outfit, isn't it? I'm not complaining though, since there were all sorts of outlandish rumors about him dressing like Eminem or some other equally ridiculous getup.

Still a bit miffed that the Tennant-in-a-kilt thing was just a rumour :-(

seems kinda dull. the companion must counter this by leathering up.

also wtf shirt tucked in and no belt? old man in young body indeed

those clothes look too big for him, which provokes the question of where the doctor does his post-regen clothes shopping

I'm intrigued by the dowdiness of the look, it suggests rather a different personality to Ten.

I think that's pretty much a given - Moffatt will want to stamp his identity on the show very quickly.

Really hoping that one episode sees someone confusing the Dr for an Open University professor.

ugh. that looks far too much like how i dressed in sixth form :/

Just because he's dressed like that, doesn't mean it's "the outfit," of course. Like the top half, not sure about the combat boots.

Was Jekyll any good, incidentally?

I liked it. Other viewpoints I have garnered seemed entirely dependent on whether or not you like James Nesbitt (I do not get the hate).

The hate is mainly Yellow Pages based, I think.

but he was acting there

I actually hate Nesbitt but loved Jekyll though

oooh it looks like Alex Kingston is filming too!

that's....good. i wouldn't have minded if this doctor had just gone Man In Black like Moffat himself seems to much of the time. also time to bring back a hat imo.

Suspenders make this an acceptable choice, tho

Tardis looks brand new, which fits with the "redone" rumor that was floating around, right?

Anyone put off by his prominent brow/no eyebrows combo?

still needs a haircut imo but then they did pick him partly because of the hair

Pleased about Alex Kingston - I had no idea how Moffatt was going to write himself out of that corner otherwise.

I'm hoping for a subtler, less zany Who. There have been moments of sheer unwatchability in the last couple of series.

didn't River Song say Tennant's Doctor looked younger than the one she knew tho?

Think she said he WAS younger, not that he looked younger. Maybe she can SEE INTO HIS SOUL or something.

Tennant looks younger than Smith, weirdly, despite being what, ten years older?

It's the slightly anvil qualities of Smith forehead that age him so.

i still believe he is Chris Morris lil brother

Does not have giant lips and leprosy scars.

It's the slightly anvil qualities of Smith forehead that age him so.

Also he looks like an Easter Island head with floppy hair.

I was just coming here to comment on his Easter Island-like forehead, but Matt has beat me to it.

fivehead morelike

After Eccleston and Tennant, it's odd seeing an actor playing The Doctor who looks like he should be in a physics lab.

Also, the new pictures of the tardis make it look like it was made out of legos. I haven't decided whether this is a good or a bad thing.
