ooooh they are announcing who will be teh new Dr Who tomorrow..

[LoveMyLapTop]

who will it be?
DT will be a hard act to follow.

Yes they do still segregate at some state schools, I went to the Girl's school and it was a state school.

I don't think he did come across as a pretentious public school boy, more a young lad who has just got the biggest break of his life and is nervous as hell.

I also think the fact that he isn't a huge personality is perfect for the role of the Doctor, he's a totally blank slate which the producers etc can work with easily.

Just give him a chance, I guarantee even if he doesn't match up to DT, which seems t be many of your favourite version of the Doctor (I much preferred CE if I'm honest) he'll still be a Good Doctor.

Yup. I know. You're not going to tell me anything I haven't been saying to myself. It's not like I'm not going to watch him, of course I am. And I am at least hopeful I will like him eventually. I'm just not excited and I'm pouting

At least we still have 4 more episodes of DT to give us all a warm glow. And remember that A LOT has to do with the quality of the writing. So i'm praying they're not going to downgrade it into some generic teen-b**cks drama.

Even Radio 4 this morning was bemoaning that he looks like a 12 year old and there should be more oldies on tv - they suggested a 70+ year old Doctor Who-Am-I.

Howevre, I still say, give him a chance....

He doesn't look as emo here if that helps at all...

I'm worried that I might fancy his mum. (Not that I have seen her, I hasten to add. It's just that his mum might only be in her late forties, and, you know...)

Yes Filly, has anyone suggested it should have been a woman this time?

Alex K was fab as that person whose name I forget.

He still needs a bloody haircut

Multi-million pound brand indeed. Two-edged sword, imo, but I'm happy that it means we still have Who on our screens.

He does appear to have lovely skin. See, I can be positive. Can't say how much they need to sort out that hair, though.

Mind you, it's not beyond reason to not enjoy a particular regeneration. Some people hate McCoy (I quite like myself), and I have certain amount of depressed antipathy to Colin Baker, though I've warmed to him over time (he was the regeneration after my first real Doctor, and I don't think you are ever predisposed to like the replacement of a favourite).

OK, enough negative. What should he wear. Come on, help me out. What should he wear so he isn't TeenDoc in my head anymore?

Leather? Lots of leather?

give me some scissors!

Leather won't work. He doesn't look like his bod's fit enough to carry it off.

What about dressing him like a grown up? You know, proper suit and shoes (apologies to DT - but he was able to carry THAT look off ). But I bet they go for jeans & t-shirt.

Or maybe a cross dresser?

He looks older at 26 than I did at 26 he isn't exactly boyband and freshfaced. I still think he's going to be good - I might be taking to much from the promo pictures, but I like tha idea of a darker Doctor. He said his heart was broken, maybe we're going to see him being a bit harder and emotionally self reliant?

he reminds me of Billie Piper's husband for some reason!!

I suppose they've picked him in the hope he will stay longer than most of the others have

I thought that Baby!

Oh xposted - we're onto clothes.

Hmmmm I like what he's wearing in the pictures, but it's too close to Tennant. Maybe layer him up a bit, hang must go google.

Hmm - looks OK in a suit, but a bit like an ad for Burton's. Hair's better in that pic.

Sorry, I meant that I also thought he might stick around longer, not that he looks like BP's hubs.

And I've just checked IMDB. He's actually only a month younger than BP, so if she were to crop up again, she shouldn't look like his mum.

Much better Jackie! OK, a bit Burton, but the suit works... as does the hair!

Quote from here:
"Like his character, Henry, in the play, he's good with older women." So maybe we'll be OK . (sorry - maybe I'll be OK)

OK.

He's the same age as Jared Padalecki and he's a Puppy looks fairly authoritive.

How about the layered look?

Maybe, serenity. Zebs - he was almost a professional footballer, so may still be quite fit.

Hair's much better in that one. Very male-model, though, not liking.

Can't do leather, CE did the pared-down leather jacket thing and did it well. They won't do jeans and t-shirt, that's just silly. And I can't see how it will be suit straight after DT. The promo pictures have been quite conspicuously bland, clothing wise, which makes sense for now.

A return to frills and a bit of velvet? Not really getting away from emo, there, maybe just veering closer to the edge of goth.

I could go with suit, if it was maybe a different period suit. A vague twist on the Pullman adaptations outfits, perhaps, late Victorian. Hmm, thinking...

I don't fancy footballers, I fancy rugby players.

codpiece?

How tall is he? We need stats, stat!
