They are thinking about casting David Tennant as the Doctor which will be a travesty after Christopher Eccleston ... (I'm gutted that he's quit personally). The need someone who can carry a similar kind of humour.
David Morrissey who played alongside David Tennant in the recent BBC Series Blackpool would be a better choice.

I was surprised by the news, to be sure.
The new front runner just doesn't look right. Out of the other names bandied about by the pundits, only Bill Nighy and Richard E Grant really seem promising.

Hooray, just got Doctor Who on tape, so now I can watch it for myself.

I think I should play the Doctor. I have a huge amount of experience making my TARDIS vanish and being in close proximity when women are screaming. :shock:
I'm really surprised people are so positive about Dr Who. I thought it was ABYSMAL.
Billy Piper was never going to be more than a rather odd-looking blonde bimbo ex of Evans, but Eccleston is an excellent actor (tongue twister there for you!) who clearly had problems delivering the awful hammy lines they gave him. I would imagine they paid him a ton for it and he wisely escaped...
They made the same mistake a couple of Bond films back where they assumed that the difficulty in translating old entertainment into a new millennium led them to make it into a camp parody of its former self, hence the "humour". The previous humour came from the eccentricity of the Doctors, especially Tom Baker whose fabulous and unique diction Little Britain has put back into the foreground again (a knighthood for Tom Baker, I think).
For the record, I've seen a couple of the original auton stories (the plastic people coming to life) and they were a lot more like Friday the 13th and certainly weren't standing still in the street doing robotic dancing when they were meant to be invading. At the time, there were a number of complaints about the level of fear induced in young people, and the violence. I saw nothing scary in that episode, just terrible dialogue and out-of-place slapstick.
The people behind ther new series have directly stated that their priority is to get Dr Who in front of a new generation of kids, unfortunately they seem to feel its necessary to patronise them; watch the old episodes and you will see an unusually high standard of dialogue and vocabulary from the Doctors. Kids these days are incredibly savvy and very difficult to please, personally I think it will take more than the huge budget they blew on that episode to convince them.
For those that missed the first episode, its easy to find on bit torrents. If you don't know about that already, put it in Google and get on the case because its easily the best way to get hold of digital media, magically speeding up the more people are downloading a given file ;)

Dr Who is fantastic - you just can't compare the new 21st C one with the previous versions - technology and society moves on, and having moved on demands differences. I LOVED the old Dr Who but this new version is such a joyous mixture of humour and fear. As an adult I can now rationalise the fear but enjoy the humour more. What may have been overwhelmed by fear is now more obvious - tonight I nearly changed channels when Rose was stuck in the room with the sunlight deflectors rising but couldn't find the remote control in time. As a youngster there was no remote control and my brother and mum and dad were riveted so I couldn't crawl over the floor and push the buttons.
As for 'camp comedy' - what was John Pertwee doing? And Tom Baker and Slyvester McCoy? Comedy is mostly camp but I don't think Christopher Eccelston is camp. What I do know is that I am seeing a 'different' Ecceleston, different from his brilliant performance in Cracker but not worse. He's an actor - he acts. And in Dr Who he acts just as brilliantly as in other incarnations.
It's entertainment and I have been certainly entertained by it so far.
Rock on!

Plus I sat and watched my six year old daughter with her eyes glued to the screen and her mouth wide open in exitement tonight. See... it works on so many levels.

What Jags said plus I was so hooked on it last night, I couldnt move away from the screen to go and get ready for a night out with the girls................ When I finally tuned up 25 minutes late........ I found I wasnt the only late arrival and for exactly the same reason.!
So last nights episode and i thought it was very good......we are finding out little bits of this war that went on......just watching the Dr crying when the tree lady...sorry forgot her name......comforting him....over his loss......he hid putting on a brave face but is hurting badly inside.......Chris Eccleston is doing a good job of it.....just a shame he is not coming back!......never have been a big fan of Dr Who,well not since Jon Pertwee when i was a kid but have got into this series!
Quote by O. K.
So after all the hype, what won your vote
For us it was Doctor Who to bring back the memories of our youth with our young son, but still recorded Ant & Dec to have a laugh at David Beckham
Sussex2
Enjoyed the old Dr. Who, but the new one is rubbish, and as for Ant and Dec : I wouldn't pay them out in buttons !!!
A strange thought occurred to me this evening as my daughter was burying her head in a cushion at the scary bits. When she's grown up I wonder if she'll say:
Of course I still think Patrick Troughton was the definitive one.
Of course, the only real Doctor in my mind was the great Christopher Eccleston
Of course I still think Patrick Troughton was the definitive one.

Just getting ready for Dr Who again tonight. Looks promising! Oh, and David Tennant (scots bloke) is going to be the new Dr Who. Imagine all the kids who HAVEN'T seen the Doctor regenerate? :shock: :shock: :shock:
:P
And now they have the money and technology to do it even better than before!
