The 11th Doctor will be (possible spoilers)...

Re: The 11th Doctor...

Okay. As David Tennant once said "I'm going to give you one chance". I'm being fair here, if I don't like what I first see then fine. I know Steven Moffat is a clever man but please dear god I hope he knows what hes doing.

Also what the hell? Younger than David Tennant. How young can they get? They can't have teenagers playing the Doctor. That annoys me a teeny bit. If you want a rougher whatever doctor it should be older than Tennant.
Oh my god. I'm in a bad mood now. Anyway if you want to know more and what he looks like go here.

You guys are harsh. While I'd rather Tennant didn't leave, he had to eventually and someone has to take his place.
Give the guy a chance.
 
Guys, trust the team.

Before Tennant took over, I doubt anyone thought he was gonna be a good Doctor apart from his die-hard fans. Even I thought he was a bit too "happy" to ride the TARDIS.

I was expecting Hammond, since he can pull off David's happy fun aura that he has.

With Smithy I'm expecting a deadpan Doctor or a snappy one without the babbling.

That said, I prefer Morrissey. He had that important bloke aura like Davison had.
 
I didn't think that Tennant wouldn't suit the role. This guy just isn't the doctor. I'm probably not gonna watch. I prefer Torchwood thanks.

Go on then, miss out on a great show just because you don't think a guy you haven't even seen act "suits" the Doctor.
 
I even said up there that i'm gonna give this "new" vision of the show a chance.

It was always going to be a risk when Russell.T.Davies took over. Even though he sometimes put some wierd elements in his scripts, lets face it, he was amazing. Giving a show that has been working great over the last 4 years and putting it in the hands of someone else. This is very risky. It may just be a first impression but right now. I'm not too sure. I have slight doubts. Lets hope the new guy and steven moffat know this and prove me wrong. I hope they can prove me wrong.

((I'm out of my bad mood now.))

Moffat's gonna be great.

He's been a writer for quite a while, and he did Time Crash which was cheap and effective.
 
All the people that don't want Tennant to leave suck
The doctor's regenerated 9 times already, soon to be 10, and he will do it twice more in the future

Anyway. I dunno what to make of the new guy yet as I haven't seen him as the Doctor yet :v we shall see
and the fact that he's only nine years older than me amuses me
 
Hayyy, everyone. :/ I'm going to get very hippie on you guys and be like 'why all the hate?' I personally think that Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant were both wonderful as the Doctor. Honestly, I really adore Tennant in the role. But I remember being peeved and upset when I learned that Eccleston was to be replaced; many reacted the same way. And look where it is now! David Tennant now has a huge fanbase, and quite a few people enjoy his role as the tenth Doctor. Hopefully, that's what it'll be like with ~this guy~.
 
Dude, he looks like this guy at my school.

But I don't watch the show and thus can't really sympathize with all you "onoes the world will be over" people. I mean, I know enough from Fandomsecrets to be aware that this is the reaction every time a new Doctor is picked, but I wouldn't know precisely what is "suited" to be the Doctor, either.
 
I dunno, he's quite cute.

David Tennant pissed me off because he didn't speak in his Scottish accent EXCEPT THAT ONE EPISODE and that was lame. >:(
 
Yeah, that scottish accent is awesome. If you watch confidential though you can always hear it. David Tennant actually looks ill right now after doing this for so long.
 
hey guys

BAAAAAAAAAW THEY KILLED TENANT BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

srsly it is not the end of the world. Tenant was the Doctor for three seasons and all the Christmas specials to date. that is a bloody long time, y'know? i'm not saying that his leaving isn't a shame, he was a great actor and all, but sooner or later they'd have needed a new guy to fill the role.

besides, i distinctly remember a wave of anti-Tenantism just as Christoper Eccleston was leaving after the first series. you lot got over that, you'll get over this.

as for the new guy, Matt Smith? no bloody clue who he is, but i'm sure he'll take to his role with enthusiasm. best of luck to him. :D

The comparison is always based on the leaving Doctor. Like with Eccleston. Everyone was expecting a darker, more serious Doctor and they didn't like Tennant. It's the same here. We're all used to The Doctor as a funny, quirky guy in a brown longcoat and a fake english accent.

That aside, I'd rather that David left now than have everyone riot outside BBC to pull him out in a wheelchair.
 
Personally I would've done what Jon Pertwee did. Have the production team change but stay on for a few more episodes. Tennant should've stayed for one more series just to help us into this new "era" of Dr Who. Then leave straight away. But hey,everything is changing so we have to get used to it or suffer. I remember the outbreak there was when Tom Baker was announced...
