It kinda makes sense seeing as they're low level psychics.

The best moment of this is in the War Games when the Doctor and the War Chief see each other for the first time, and both are basically "Oh poo poo!" My take is that Time Lords have special time vision that lets them see temporal stuff outside the regular visual spectrum, and to look at each other is like seeing someone covered in Christmas lights or with a big neon aura.

Simm did approach Moffat at some awards show and mention he would be up for the role still. That was a couple of years ago now, though.

Basically the OP has everything we know as confirmed and rumoured. Since filming is over and done with, it's going to be pretty much under wraps for quite some time now, unless some production guy leaks something. Until then, we're just waiting for trailers. Which I'd imagine is October at the absolute earliest. :(

I'm pretty sure that's just generic enough for any actor to have a crack at putting their own spin on it. It still reads quite Smith, though.

Four new promo pics for Day:




1) In good, clear light, it really shows how cheap Tennant's suit looks. Seriously they couldn't have run him off a new one? It looks like they bought it from some Chinese cosplay tailor on eBay.

2) Close-ups of your main actor which show nothing else are the dullest promo pics.
