Oh MAN oh MAN. Mr. Tennant, you, sir, are going to be a very hard act to follow.

Date: 2008-10-29 11:10 pm (UTC)The BBC could surprise us all, but I bet that in this they won't. Having younger, sexier Doctors has done too much for their audience numbers. ;)

Date: 2008-10-29 10:30 pm (UTC)And I'm afraid I will never be able to look at a Morrissey Doctor quite right after having seen Blackpool first.
Than again, if I'd seen Tennant in Secret Smile first, I wouldn't have thought he'd have pulled off the Doctor either. -.-

Netflix it, or it's $20 at Amazon. ;)

Date: 2008-10-29 11:07 pm (UTC)But I'm dubious that the BBC would go for it. The younger, sexier Doctor model with Nine and Ten has done huge wonders for their audience (she said, being an example of a fangirl who got pulled into the fold specifically because of Younger Cuter Romantic-er Doctors ;) ). So I'd be real surprised if they pulled in somebody without at least some potential sex appeal.
Re: point well taken on the young n sexy doc.
Date: 2008-10-29 11:49 pm (UTC)(Now, I'll also add that although I am a diehard Nine-and-Ten/Rose fangirl, it'll be nice if they dial down the whole 'Companions crushing on the Doctor' thing for a bit!)
no subject
Date: 2008-10-29 11:09 pm (UTC)At least when we lost Nine, we got to keep Rose. And then we when got Martha and Donna, we still had Ten. Now we're starting completely from scratch (unless something AMAZING comes out of the Christmas specials--my vote, BRING DONNA BACK!!!). It'll be interesting to watch. I'm very, very excited.

Date: 2008-10-29 11:12 pm (UTC)It will be interesting to see what this means for the last of the Specials and whether we'll get a regeneration on camera.

Date: 2008-10-30 06:57 am (UTC)(I think I'm taking it more calmly than I might otherwise, though, because my disappointment sort of got overlaid with feeling so freaking exasperated at certain fandom reactions that it all kind of leveled out. ;) We'll see how well I take it when the regen happens....)

Date: 2008-10-30 02:02 pm (UTC)But alas, no, he stuck to his guns! Sniff! He also says in the video that he wanted to quit pretty much before he started feeling like it was a job. Which I totally respect.
And indeed, it will be interesting to see how they play the regeneration. Especially given (cannily avoiding going into details in case anybody's reading this who hasn't seen it yet) the tail end of Series 4. ;)

Date: 2008-10-30 07:11 am (UTC)Although...I could go for Eddie, too. :)

Date: 2008-10-30 02:10 pm (UTC)As for Mr. Izzard, who is indeed made entirely of Fabulous and would be a very interesting Doctor, I doubt we'll get him. Isn't he busy doing his own show right now anyway?
