To make things even worse, there are rumours that the 12th incarnation may be a ...............woman !!!!

Gawd 'elp us

Thank god, I stopped watching because of him.

 

[crosslandkelly]

I liked Matt Smith as the Doctor, he reminds of Tom Baker my favourite Doctor.

 

[ReamviThantos]

Tragic news indeed, I have not watched Doctor Who for many years now but find the news of a potential female Doctor abhorrent.

 

[Goatboy]

I think a female Dr Who would be OK. It's always been a more cerebrally orientated character and women are just as brave as men. Plus my old Sensei was a female and she'd kick your butt most days. Plus Dr Who has a history of good female characters Sarah Jane, Zoe Heriot, Ace, Barbra Wright, Leela, Rose Tyler and Amy Pond and River Song. And it'd be much better than going back to the likes of Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker. We'll just have to make sure we call her a female Dr and not a Lady Dr which is a whole other show.

GB. (There I've channelled my geek for the day).

Can you explain the difference?

 

[blacktimberwolf]

That the doctor can change appearance periodocally...OK, it's just credible, but changing sex, Ha !.......& what if something went wrong during the transformation, BBC audiences may not be ready for a she-male doctor

Tragic News! My bottom! Watched this rubbish when i was a kid, remember hiding behind the sofa, what an absolute waste of the license payers money, the only good thing, was it was absent from our screens for a number of years, then a massive groan from me when they reinvented it.

I personally would pay SKY'S top package to banish it, and all repeats from the screen.(And i dislike Rupert Murdoch, intensely)

Utter sh1te!!

Just an opinion of course.

Never floated my boat either, and I'm a bit of a sci-fi/fantasy geek.

[Ivan...]

Nice one demographic, another thing i never understood, why the birds and the bee's, still anything that took us from wasting valuable typing time on rubbish, i am all for.

Dr Who? On a Bushcraft site, whatever next?

Some folk even waste their valuable time by reading & posting twice on threads they pretend not ot like

Me too. Like Ivan said I hid behind the sofa a couple of times as a kid. I have a vague memory of a Yeti freaking me out, but I lost interest right after Tom Baker came into the role. My kids love it though, as do my nieces and nephews and they're all in their late teens early 20's. Horses for courses I guess.

After you with the mind bleach Colin, thanks.

 

[sandbender]

Matt who?

 

[blacktimberwolf]

 

[spiritwalker]

I'm surprised Matt Smith is stepping down from Dr Who to pursue a film career. I had no idea that Wallace needed a stunt double for his next adventure with Gromit.

 

[Goatboy]

Have you seen Matt Smith play the younger version of Ralph Fiennes character Harry Waters in the film "In Bruges"? was deleted in the final cut but is available on the DVD or on Youtube. I hadn't seen him in anything else and he was quite good. Films well worth a watch - very good.

 

[Bushwhacker]

My heart bleeds for you. Somebody's Pokemon died the other day too and, to top it off, his mum sold all his Spiderman comics at the village fete. WORST. THING. EVER!!!!!
