TheHoundsBitch · 04/10/2014 22:54

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 04/10/2014 22:55

YABU.

to go against the grain. I luffs the new Dr.

OraProNobis · 04/10/2014 22:57

Who is speaking ill of The Divine Mr Capaldi?
You won't like me when I'm angry you know.

YABU

last one was shite-loved David Tennant and Peter Capaldi is growing on me because he is so different.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 04/10/2014 22:58

Yabvvvvu!

hotfuzzra · 04/10/2014 22:59

I quite like Capaldi, but not keen on the girl and have the writers changed? This series is crap and where is the interesting back story, where is River Song? Didn't even finish tonight's episode, really disappointed.

freezation · 04/10/2014 23:00

Oh no YABVVVVVVVU! He's fantastic!!! Although my mum's favourite is still William Hartnell Grin

Scrumbled · 04/10/2014 23:01

I miss Matt but enjoying the different dynamics of Capaldi. I miss the two before Matt too :)

JennySense · 04/10/2014 23:04

PC is fantastic for me - imho there hasn't been a Doctor able to channel the alien side as well since Tom Baker.

What I love about the program is the ability of the regenerations to show a different part of the same character.

I'm loving the confused, sardonic, patronising, irritable older Who.

TheHoundsBitch · 04/10/2014 23:10

Urgh. He's awful.

supersop60 · 04/10/2014 23:10

I loved Christopher Ecclestone. Favourite companion is Martha (Freema Agyeman???) - none of the other companions can act that well, although quirky in their own ways.

I think this would be great, but he's just not pulling it off IMO.

mumeeee · 04/10/2014 23:12

YABU, I think the new Doctor is great.

ILovePud · 04/10/2014 23:13

Oh I love Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, I was a bit worried as I was a huge thick of it fan and thought I wouldn't be able to picture him as anyone other than Malcolm Tucker but he's shaping up to be my favourite. I love the exchanges between him and Clara and I love the physicality of his acting. YA soooooo BU Grin

ZeroSomeGameThingy · 04/10/2014 23:23

Christopher Eccleston and Martha (as an on-going thing) would have been superb.

Mrsstarlord · 04/10/2014 23:24

I think PC's brilliant. Like the way that the characters are developing but the stories haven't been great so far. Loved the comedy in Matt Smith's Doctor but PC is very different, more interesting and complex than MS I think.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 04/10/2014 23:29

I miss him too actually but I think capaldi has potential. I know it's unpopular but I really did love Matt smith's doctor.

Stratter5 · 04/10/2014 23:32

He's awful, worse than Matt Smith; although I think the change of writer contributed to my dislike of the last couple of series. David Tennant was brilliant, a fantastic Dr, and I loved the Dr/Rosevbackstory.

Christopher Eccleston was the best though, quirky yet infinitely believable, and fun. Where's the bloody fun gone? :(

ZeroSomeGameThingy · 04/10/2014 23:34

I found Matt Smith's portrayal rather brilliant. He was so weighed down with unfathomable sadness but putting on a show of cheer for the humans. Always wanted to hug him.

DT (despite obvious charms) was never sufficiently alien.

Still not sure about the newbie. But like looking at Danny Pink.

NinjaLeprechaun · 04/10/2014 23:35

where is River Song?
No idea, but I hope to God she stays there.

Matt Smith is the only Doctor in the modern incarnation who has not won me over by the end of the first episode. Or even the first series, in his case.

Stratter5 · 04/10/2014 23:42

No idea, but I hope to God she stays there.

You and me both, River Song is so fucking irritating I can hardly bear to watch.

MmeMorrible · 04/10/2014 23:42

David Tennant was a great Dr, couldn't warm to Matt Smith mainly because he just wasn't David Tennant so stopped watching. Tried the first episode with Peter Capaldi but not convinced he's right for the job and haven't seen a full episode since.

plus3 · 04/10/2014 23:43

We are missing Matt Smith in our house as well.....some of these episodes are too scary for my DC (10 & 8) we really loved MS - his Doctor was fabulous
