12th Doctor is announced

[alexfleming380]

Well, the next incarnation of The Doctor has just been announced. I must say I'm rather pleased with the selection. I won't say who it is in case I spoil the surprise for anyone

Peter Capaldi? Oops...

I initially liked the modern version of the series but the stories have become quite repetitive and I haven't liked the last few doctors either. Clearly there are plenty of people who still do like it though.

Yes I like it i didn't see anything wrong with David tenant how about you Pfx? In fact he was probaly one of the best doctors in doctor who

David Tennant has to be my favourite Doctor. Matt Smith was alright but not as good as David. My mum grew up with John Pertwee and Tom Baker and she thinks that they were better than the modern episodes.

Of the modern crop of Doctors, Christopher Ecclestone was by far and away the best but it seems he is often overlooked despite being a far better actor than the others. It was during Tennant's spell that I stopped watching as I just don't like him as an actor (the rent-a-Jock accent always bugs me) and I thought the stories had gone downhill. Interestingly, I can see many similarities in the styles of Smith and Tennant.

For me, Tom Baker is always going to come out on top, despite the low budget sets and effects of the show at that time. I've watched many of the episodes more recently, my favourite probably being the Robots of Death. Baker had a certain charisma as the Doctor, which hasn't been matched but Ecclestone did come close.

The modern day doctor who's are excellent also they will have better quality than the old days better colours and sound effects etc. does anyone know when the first doctor who episode that he will be in by the way I mean Peter capaldi I assume maybe in the Christmas episode perhaps

Did anyone understand liverpool13's post? Please use punctuation!
But anyway, I lost interest in Doctor Who after the first few Matt Smith episodes. Steve Moffat killed the story lines with over complicated plots and too many throw backs to previous episodes.

i have to agree there. Some of the later episodes in Matt Smith's first series I found particularly confusing, but the new ones with Clara as sidekick I thought were quite good.

Sorry my punctuation can be pretty awful i forget to use full stops and commas sorry programs can get a bit confusing and you can't understand what they mean thanks james

One of my favorite dr who (or padidilidamp, as my dad calls it) quotes - try to guess what episode its from:
Donna: the TARDIS is gone! Don't tell me they've stolen the TARDIS!
Doctor:
Donna: Go on then, have they stolen the TARDIS?
Doctor: You told me not to tell you
Donna:
