Mortanis posted:I think with budget concerns being so huge these last few seasons, there's no way they'll get anyone that has name power behind it. At least outside the UK, anyway. I'd kill for Idris Elba or Ayoade, but I just don't see it happening. Oh god he would make such a surreal Doctor, that is now my wish for the next one.

My own personal speculation: We've already seen the "next doctor". Rumors abound now that John Hurt will be in episodes beyond the 50th/christmas special. I would bet you Hurt Doctor takes over as the Doctor for half the season, then HE dies and regenerates, and we get the next, next doctor.

I really like the idea of John Hurt as the Doctor. I think we need someone older to be the Doctor.

moths posted:Doctors Who Yes, Moffat is confirmed to be doing Series 8. Also: quote:I'm bummed we won't get to see what a better show-runner could do with Smith. I remember everyone saying the same thing about Tennant / RTD. Metal Loaf posted:I think the split seasons were out of Moffat's hands, though. It's probably six of one, half-dozen of the other. Budgets have definitely been an issue, but there have been multiple reports that Moffat is notoriously slow at writing scripts / revising other people's scripts (he supposedly got the 50th special script in only a few weeks before filming, which gave the design and costuming departments very little time to do their thing), and that between Sherlock and Who, he's just in over his head. I have a hunch that the reason Gatiss and Stephen Thompson wrote the first two episodes of the next run of Sherlock was to give Moffat time to focus on the 50th / Christmas specials and get working on Series 8.

Tilda Swinton or nothing. Now that I think about it, isn't Swinton the frontrunner if there's to be a female Doctor? Other than that, Elba would be a pretty decent shot too.

thexerox123 posted:Isn't the 50th special still more than a few weeks away from filming? The 50th wrapped shooting on May 5. Location filming with Hurt, Tennant and Smith was done in the first few weeks of April (which is when we saw photos of all three, plus the Zygon), and then they moved to soundstages. Post-production will take a while, surely, and there's no reason they can't shoot a bit for the 50th while they film the Christmas special this summer (like how they shot the Hurt piece for The Name of the Doctor while they were making the 50th special) but the actual, "official" filming portion is in the can.

"The Valeyard" is the Doctor's maleness and thus evil side, he'll be expelled, paving the wave for the Doctor to take his rightful place as the woman he was meant to be.

If Moffat stays on I get the feeling/hope that the next Doctor will be a Pertwee type Doctor. Bring back Venusian aikido I say!

I think this was pretty much a shoe in that Smith was going to leave. He's out in a couple of years, his profile is rising, and he's entering his 30s. Don't want to be typecast as the Doctor as he wants to continue his acting career. He was great in the role and its a shame to see him go especially with what Moffat gave him to work with in the last half season. I think the next doctor is probably going to be an older guy as an intermediate step to the next next Doctor. I hope he's leaving on good terms though as opposed to behind the scenes stuff.

Harlock posted:Don't want to be typecast as the Doctor as he wants to continue his acting career. Has any Doctor ever really been typecast after leaving? People always bring this up, but are there even that many roles similar enough to the Doctor to make that a real concern?

Aw yeah, time for that Dylan Moran/Bill Bailey/Tamsin Greig TARDIS team. Stephen Mangan would be an acceptable alternative.

Pops Mgee posted:Stephen Fry with Alan Davies as the companion. No. Fry as the Companion, with Davies as the Doctor who dies as at the end of the season and is replaced with Phil Jupitus. Repeat with Bill Bailey, Brian May, Rob Bryden, and Jimmy Carr. Hopefully the show will be back on extended hiatus before they're down to Johnny Vegas.

Tim Curry. They almost cast him as Jek in Caves of Androzani. He almost was the good doctor in the 1996 movie. I think we need to get him on the show in some capacity, so I’m tossing him out there as my pick for Doc 12.

I don't know who could or should play the Doctor next, but as I mentioned in the other thread, I'd be dead keen to see James Nesbitt as the Master.
