Default The new Dr Who

Not that I ever watch it but saw it on the news - new bloke doesn't look like a proper Dr Who - bring back Tom Baker.

Yeah, I just saw a clip of the new guy. I agree, he doesn't seem to fit at all, voice or appearance-wise. It seems like they are trying to appeal to a younger audience maybe, innit blud
I shall have to reserve full judgement 'til I watch an episode starring the new guy, I expect to be disappointed

There is only one Dr Who, in my eyes.




I watched the change over during the Christmas hols and do not like the new fella at all. Will not be watching it now

Funny isn't it

Nobody thought Christopher Ecclestone was right for the job, those same people didn't think David Tennant would be able to replace him, now they're all appearing again to give the new guy grief before he's even had a chance

Naaaa, not me. I like Christopher Ecclestone, thought he was great and I was a bit suspect of Tennant but on the first show I knew he was going to be great. But, having watched the new guy, I was not impressed. To each their own, I guess

Give the chap a chance

He's a proper classically trained actor (like Tennant) and he has already been in some highly acclaimed stuff (such as Alan Bennett's The History Boys (where James Corden got his big break)) - and he has worked alongside Billie Piper twice already!
