You all know Tennant is Scottish right ? Some of the stuff you're saying here is just stupid, given that.
I mean, fucking Paisley accent. If you can hide that, you can hide fucking Greek.
Actually, McCoy as well.
I only mention it because they made a "Don't want to do a dlalectical tour of the UK" comment to justify Tennant not using his own accent. I would have preferred him using his own.

I wouldn't mind that spoiler if it was done right. I don't have a lot of confidence in Moffat to do it right. See "The Better Movie Metathread", e.g., I can see what I think ought to be done with that idea, I can think of people who would do it, and I don't think Moffat is one of them.

Two things: 1. I would not be at all surprised if Andrew Scott (Moriarty in the Moffatt/Gatiss incarnation of "Sherlock") gets the role. 2. I cannot believe it has got to the stage where there is an entire 30 minute program dedicated to the announcing of the next person in the role.

Waste of half an hour but pleased that it's Capaldi. Which reminds me, must buy season 4 of The Thick of It. EDIT:

Holy shit, Peter Capaldi is awesome. Really thought it was a joke when I saw his name floated last week.

They've already amply demonstrated that their casting department is far more highly skilled than their script editing department.
Capaldi is a good choice, but he's going to get the same stupid scripts & stories the rest of them had to suffer through.

So I've seen Capaldi in "In the Loop." Am I to understand there's a whole TV show about his character from that movie which I did not know about? Because that makes me happier in the pants than the idea of Moffat wanking words into Capaldi's mouth as the Doctor for three or four seasons.

Yes. Personally I think the show is funnier than the movie too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thick_of_ItApparently it's all available on Netflix, if that's any help.

Speaking of probable disappointments, that rumours of someone finding 90 of the 'lost' episodes just refuses to die. Hmm.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24448063A number of early episodes of Doctor Who, which were believed to have been permanently lost, have been returned to the BBC.
BBC Worldwide is expected to confirm the find at a press screening in London later this week.

"Day of the Doctor" trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loGm3vT8EAQBasically a souped-up teaser--no footage of the actual show. I'm excited by the hint that Hurt's Doctor precedes all the others--I would MUCH rather that than him being a Time War incarnation who does bad things. It makes the whole character much more resonant if at the very beginning, he participates in something bad that his people do, and decides that whatever else happens, from that point on, he's going to do his best to heal the universe, make things better. That's pretty close to a Batman/Spiderman moment for the Doctor, and a good demonstration that you can just hint at an origin like that for years and years and years and then finally reap some dramatic goodies by going to it. Whereas if he's just a dude who went on a lark and then one day decided to end a really bad war by killing both sides, well, that's resonant, but not quite the same.

Yeah, no doubt, because it's what I want. I was just thinking that putting him at the beginning like that, leading into 76 Totters Lane, seemed like an interesting move.

I'd find it more interesting too. But look what they did with his grave; you thought it'd be interesting and it turned out retarded. Same with his 'death'. Best just wait and see really.

I didn't see John Hurt in that at all? Unless that was him in the policeman's costume.
Where was Troughton? Was that him in silhouette playing his recorder (and about to encounter a Yeti perhaps)?
I'm pretty psyched for this because although it's going to be terrible in many ways, they are really playing on the nostalgia factor and as someone who watched Doctor Who as a child, it's a lot of fun. I can't imagine what the actual target audience will make of it. I really hope for the sake of the show that once Capaldi takes over they also decide to end the fan wank and get back to basics a bit.

That was him in the policeman's outfit, yeah.
Troughton is in silhouette in front of the Himalayas (Yeti reference).

Really? I think it looks very much like him (keeping in mind that everyone in the trailer except for Matt Smith and David Tennant is CGI).

That was definitely Hurt in the beginning. I'm hoping Khaldun is right too as that would be a great way to go. But even if he is, Moffat will probably fuck it up anyway.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.
