The Best Doctor edition
/who/ - Doctor Who General
Bad Wolf is heavily underrared episode. I'd place it in top5.
We Ice Warriors now

>I'm bringing back the Ice Warriors again, one of my favourite monsters. It's a thrill a minute. A sort of Bank Holiday Monday feel, the kind of Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs story of derring-do, which I've always loved. But it has a new twist - there is a new Ice Warrior in it, a new kind of Ice Warrior.

Are there any actual good Ice Warrior stories. Have BF played with them?
...
Apart from mask lifting I like Cold War, I'm a sucker for base under siege stories
Eccleston's series is incredibly solid. Father's Day is another good one.
inb4 Fire Warrior or an Ice Warrior/Sandman hybrid
yfw we never get Glenn and Terri cameos in S10 completing TTOI actors being in every Capaldi Series
...
>Ice Warrior/Sandman hybrid
Reminder this hasn't happened from 12's point of view.
>War, 10 and 11 all regenerate after saving Gallifrey.
I still can't quite believe it. I honestly thought he would be the first Doctor in decades to break the absurd 3 season "rule".
Also, after all the critical acclaim for his acting in Heaven Sent, being the only speaking role (apart from one line) etc. Shit, at one point he was in the running for an Emmy nomination!
At least he'll be a hell of a Doctor for one more series. I need a hug /who/.
In honor of the passing of John Hurt, I present the first three volumes of the War Doctor's Big Finish adventures. If you enjoy this series, I highly recommend you visit the Big Finish main page and support them by purchasing some of your favorite stories.

>we won't see based Perkins return for top-tier banter with 12
The Troughton stuff is all that really stands out afaik - BF did a few, but they're just sort of standard mid-range stories. Plus Gary Russell and Craig Hinton both wrote elaborate fanwank novels about them.
STILL gets me hyped as fuck.
When will they make the Sontarans sexy again?
I'd much prefer Ben Wishaw. That said, I want his personality to be counter to his appearance. I don't want Tennant 2.0. I want a cocky, arrogant, and slightly sarcastic Doctor that has still his heart in the right place, even if he's grown much more conceited as a result of his long life span.
Also Volume 2 of Hurt's adventures is when things really start to kick off.
Looks too much like Matt Smith
Kinda happy he's leaving.
At least he won't be written shittily under Chibnall and this lends credence to the Moffat's Journey's End theory.
He looks like Tennant 2.0
I cant do anything about it sadly.
Best moment in the series. Yes I'm counting all the seasons that shit came out of nowhere and hit like a truck.
>I want a cocky, arrogant, and slightly sarcastic Doctor that has still his heart in the right place, even if he's grown much more conceited as a result of his long life span.
Literally described 12. Also, you're not getting that with Ben Wishaw. Also, he's already at the top of the bookies' list so you can be sure it won't be him.
All they'd have to do is cut his hair much shorter and let him grow out a little bit of facial hair to mask his softer features. You'd be surprised what a little change like that could make. If not I'd prefer something more like this.
We get it you want a white male Doctor.
It's gonna be him, isn't it?
Mark aren't you like 50, stop playing with toys.
I want the reverse of 12's character arc. He started grumpy and then grew more and more attached and fatherly towards Clara and subsequently more social and tactful. I want the Doctor to start off socially open due to his experiences with past companions but his darker traits start to come more and more to the surface until eventually he directly endangers those that rely on him for the sake of ego. 10 started down this path but immediately regretted his mistake and made an attempt to be better if all for not. I want this guy to continue to spiral and spiral into his pit of despair and anger until eventually it's revealed that this incarnation was the Valeyard all along.
I just want a decent actor.
I know next to nothing about him.
They would never cast him because he's not british, but I would love Alexis Denisof as the Doctor. Wesley was GOAT in Angel.
Enemy of Earth pt.1
The Future Killers pt.2
The Crime of a Lifetime

Deimos/The Resurrection of Mars is brilliant.
>I know 5 billion languages
What did he mean by this
Was he bluffing?
All I know he's half-BR iirc.
Nope...TARDIS translation matrix
youtube.com
Sammi's critical!
And he makes valid points
well knowing BBC....
He's GOAT and the son of Ian.
Rowan Atkinson for the next doctor plz
>this meme
Already happened
Anyway isn't HTGAWM still on air? I don't think he'll leave that job for DW.
Implying it wouldn't be GOAT af
Post Capalmemes
His character just died last month.
What would you say is a high for Doctor #12? And what's the low point?
Playing the guitar
Thoughts on Jessica Raine taking over the role? Could be interesting?
...
Well I didn't knew that. Man my gf is gonna be pissed when she finds that out.
Thoughts on taking over the role?
Could be interesting.
Repeat until we actually find out who the new Doctor is.
So this bitch ruined the show, right? This guy wouldnt be quitting if this annoying bitch who succeeds in everything for being stupid wasnt his sidekick, right?
>my gf
You're not fooling anyone.
Don't tempt the hive.
Kek, well he died last month, but that was filmed months ago. It all lines up.
low quality bait
>this is the Matt Smith situation all over again
Her dimples > Moffat's scripts
Let's have pic related instead.
Post Karens
Alfred Enoch is the son of William Russell, who played a popular companion of the 1st Doctor in the 1960s.
His most notable role so far has been as Wes Gibbins in 'How To Get Away with Murder', for which he was nominated for NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series twice.
IMO, he'd be popular the DW fanbase, has the acting credentials, is young and nice looking which will attract 'fangirls' back to the show, plus is bi-racial which would satisfy the anti-diversity and pro-diversity crowds. He's a win-win casting choice.
He's a good bet.
Nah.
...
She's charismatic. I know, she is probably the sexiest woman in a country, but she's charismatic as hell too.
I think she can be the Doctor.
ALSO his presence could mean Ian finally returning to the show somehow.
It's also now or never. If they don't get him now, he'll blow up and be too big of a star by the time the next Doctor has to be cast.
9/10 body, 6/10 face
New companion please
>Hyped as fuck for Capaldi's run
>Was shackled to the shittiest companion and Moffuck's terrible writing
>In the end his only great episodes were Mummy on the Orient Express and Heaven Sent, everything else was meh or terrible
God Capaldi was so wasted on this
A "generation" is four years apparently...
With three series
It really is fucking annoying that such an excellent actor like Capaldi had to deal with all the endless shit gimmicks Moffat's thrown his way since his arrival.
Plus now we'll never get to see what a non-Moffat Capaldi season would look like. Bollocks.
leave /who/. dont come back
It was actually an hero.
you too. you're probably from leddit or gallifrey base. we don't want you here.
Eccleston - 2005
Tennant - December 2005 - January 2010
(4 years, 1 month)
Smith - April 2010 - December 2013
(3 years, 8 months)
Capaldi - August 2014 - December 2017
(3 years, 4 months)
NuWho Doctor lengths:
Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, Eccleston.
There's an injustice here...
Stephan dillane for next doctor. He'd ducking hate it, but he'd be good at it
Tennant has about the same number of episodes as SMith or Capaldi though, his extra year was the specials year (2009)
Capaldi's only gonna have had 40 episodes by the time he regenerates
He'll have hundreds of audios.
I'd be totally fine with it. No chance of it happening though.
He's one of the best actors to play the part, one of the most Doctorish Doctors ever - and it feels like so much of his potential has been squandered by substandard scripts, a lack of direction and general Moffat-burnout.
Unless season 10 turns out to have an uncommonly large number of fucking great episodes, Capaldi's going to have a pretty threadbare legacy of "Listen", "Mummy On The Orient Express" and "Heaven Sent".
Still, given that him and Moffat are leaving at the same time, there's a good chance he'll at the very least get a great sendoff episode. Though I do wish they'd stop fucking doing the regenerations at Christmas.
Seeing as he's a fan, hopefully. But Tennant's only done a few. Is the BBC holding them back?
After Hell Bent I finally admitted to myself that I disliked Clara. Now, knowing how much of Capaldi's time was wasted with such a shitty character, I'm starting to despise her.
This, enough with the christmas regens.
are you guys looking forward to babel colours 12 tribute?
also what song should he use?
yes
they are trying to maximize the sales by generating false hype
then again tennant is busy with other shit as well
Nah, they're just busy. Tennant has Broadchurch and it's quite difficult to get Karen and Arthur back to Cardiff or wherever they're recording the audios. Matt has more free time so maybe they'll do a 11xRiver box set.
>one of the most Doctorish Doctors ever
This! When he's in his red velvet suit with the mad hair, and those kind eyes under the paradoxical grimacing frown, that's exactly how I picture 'The Doctor'.
And I'm thinking that, since it's Moffat's last too, he'll do what he did with Doctor Mysterio. i.e, it's a Christmas special, but there's nothing Christmassy about it
Please post more Hayley so we can continue to evaluate her suitability for the role.
Too similar to Capaldi. Also too white and too male.
That sounds fun. Matt hasn't done any Big Finish audios yet, right?
Seriously? Her face is stunning but she has no arse or tits.
Nickelback, Rockstar
This is who it should be desu
It doesn't feel right that we're getting a new Doctor
;_;
Feels like Capaldi's just started
the most enraging thing about that is that I can see where you're coming from!
also do you guys think PC left just because the job is physically demanding? or that being a major factor.
