Yech, that new Doc is a pompous snob. I dont want him being my next Doctor. I hope he's like a parrallel universe one where he jumps through the void and lets the Cybermen out by accident. My voice is heard.

He's too similar to the Tenth Doctor (manner/style/etc etc) so he won't be the Eleventh Doctor.
TBH, I hope it won't be "Benjamin" from Jeckell (the recent miniseries on the BBC), forgot his name. I don't like him, I do suppose it's because from Jeckell.

At first I didn't like Morriseys Doctor, having watched it a few times, I've changed my mind, still no Tennant, but if he has just regenerated, he could have some sort of amnesia or other side effect, that's still keep him Tenth Doctorish.

RTD has stated that he is not a fake Doctor.

Mostlikely in the same way that Dr. Nightingale also wasn't a fake Doctor. ;)

Well...I'm not sure whether to say that the Crimbo one was good or overly...over-the-top. The CyberKing, a Cyberman Spaceship Dreadnought. Has what, 2 guns? How useless is that :P? Then theres the Doctors. I sorta warmed up to Morrisey's doctor. Shame he ain't the real deal.

I'm kinda glad that Morrisey didn't become the next doctor, he looked, and acted, way too much like Tennant. Every new doctor had something of it's own.

The CyberKing (is it really the ship, or just the person controlling it?) could just be constraint by the power suply for it not to use everything it's got.
Remember, Cybermen are nuts about efficiency. So why bother taking out the big guns when you get by using the small ones?

Another reason why the CyberKing had only 2 weapons, it's main purpose is that of a factory. Not a battleship.


Aside from that, I hope that the last special will feature David Tennant with a gray streak. So that we could, at a later stage, have a couple of movies featuring River Song (sp).

The Cyber-King at the end was over the top.

Morrisey would have been a great real Doctor. I also want River Song to come back, maybe in the specials next year. :)

The last two specials of next year form a two-parter. :D

EDIT:

"The BBC confirmed today that it will reveal the identity of the Eleventh Doctor as part of a special edition of Doctor Who Confidential to be aired on BBC ONE tomorrow, Saturday 03 January at 17:35hrs."

Davis has already said that because Tennant is leaving they won't show River Song. :'(

So my hope is that they will make Tennant look older at his regeneration.

Damn, that sucks.

I bet they'll play on the "Time can be re-written" line from Forest of the Dead then.

I hope David goes out in a big way. Apparently the TARDIS set is getting a makeover for the next series. I like the current one though.

Ring ring, knock knock? TARDIS redecoration? We're missing something else to change? THE TIME VORTEX. I'm bored of the current one.

Please tell me you are joking. Please.

Edit: You aren't joking. Crap. Who the heck is that guy? He looks like a werewolf, not a Doctor.

Someone put me in a Goa'uld sarcophagus. Because if that twerp is playing the 11th Doc, then I have died, gone to Hell and need reviving.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

He looks more like Frankenstein... and dear GOD they need to sort his hair out!!

As for the Time Vortex, I love it, and changing it would be rather stupid. Yes, I know it's looked different before, but they were just going with what they have.

The production peeps wanted it changed before Freema came on board! A theme change should also mean a Vortex change. Yes, the current one is good but old. We've had it for coming up to 5 years. And a new TARDIS should mean a new Vortex.

Why should it mean a new Vortex?

The Vortex isn't part of the TARDIS, it doesn't change when the TARDIS does. Changing the look of the Vortex makes no sense, unlike changing the TARDIS, since the TARDIS is alive and can change it's self. I'm wondering if the TARDIS will change as the Doctor Regenerates.

And the main reason that they want the set changed is because the current one is falling apart, the buttons and stuff keep falling off. HOWEVER, if they are going to redesign the interior (Most likely) or just rebuild the current design, I have no idea. Hopefully, they'll just be rebuilding it.

Also, casting a not very well known actor was probably done because they won't have to pay him as much. Meaning that hopefully they'll put more money into set design and effects so they can leave Earth more.
