Bradley Walsh's best work was of course on the one off show He's Pasquale, I'm Walsh.

The only thing I've seen Tennant in other than Doctor Who is Jessica Jones, and he's absolutely perfect in that.

Hence why he has a bunch of young lady-ducks wearing tartan and bagpipes as his staff and wears a kilt. A KILT, MCDUCK!!!!

 Watched the S10 Finale again and it's still a fun trip Simms is a gem and I wish he had been more meddling during his overall time as the Master instead of being shoved to the back of the Specials and Finales

I want some little ten-minute spinoffs where Missy tries to teach the Master that he doesn't need to be such a tremendous shithead all the time. Just so I can watch them together some more. "Now what do we do in this situation?" "Take over the local government and then--" "NO go to your room"

Let me get in on the dumb ground floor of Bradley Walsh actually being the Valeyard. I said yesterday he was like the prototypical Doctor as far as race and age, maybe there is actually something to that.

What I'd like to see, since they're reversing the age/gender dynamic, is to also play with our expectations of his backstory/attitude. You'd imagine an older guy would be sorta caught up in things, unsuited for travelling, maybe be a bit of a bumbler, a Nardole, or perhaps an over the hill guy who missed his chance to adventure when younger like Wilf and gets one last hurrah. gently caress that, let's let him be a guy who wants to travel and have adventures and owns it like Evelyn did, even though he is older. Not necessarily a Jack style action hero, but an older guy who totally fits into adventure in time and space. Also, maybe just maybe he's not from the Present Day? Nah, who am I kidding, that'll NEVER happen, he'll be from 21st century London. :/

I agree with almost all of this except for the idea that Wilf was over the hill and missed his chance to adventure, he would have made a great companion.  I've been hoping for a long time they have more than one companion, though. It would allow them to have the present day audience insert character they want and still explore other possibilities. An industrial era factory workers, say, or a Sontaran as this era's tin dog.

I only say that because IIRC Wilf was offered the chance to go and turned it down due to age. Basically I want this guy to be "Wilf Who Said Yes." Also  on multi companions. That's always the best dynamic, as proven greatly by last season. Plus as you say, you get the future/alien person (Steven/Turlough/Nyssa/Jack/Nardole) and then you can have the modern audience insert. Best of both worlds.

Maybe have a character from the early 1990's? That would be an interesting twist.

The strongest parts of new who have been the multi-companion bits, with the exception of season 4, where Martha/Donna were the weaker episodes (though Martha didn't make things worse, and they were still solid overall). Part of it's because you can have one companion who looks up to/trusts/wuvs The Doctor while the other one is a bit more cynical and wary of him. Clara trying to pull both roles is why she came off as an irritating know-it-all, since the only way to believably both trust and countermand The Doctor is to think you're as smart as them. Plus it lets one companion wander off and be cool in a human, fallible way while The Doctor  's at the other one. The possibility of a character screwing up without The Doctor being around to save them adds a lot of tension to stories.ps is it The Doctor or just the Doctor I have no idea what to capitalize and it's making me twitchy

I thought Bill was going to be from the 80s way back when she was revealed, and that would have been fun. Really, someone from say, 2015, who sees what happens in the UK and America and decides "Actually, I'd like off this timeline, let's go everywhere else in time instead of me living my life through to 2017."

I watched Paradise Towers last night. I didn't remember much of it, probably because I always confuse it with The Happiness Patrol. For a Mel story, it's not bad. I liked when the head nazi guy was possessed. And I liked how poo poo the robots were.
