Has there been any established criteria as to which Doctor was around the longest? For example, Eleven has been around over 200 years now, since it was established he ran around for like 200 years before going to Lake Silencio the last time.

I'm fond of the idea someone floated in the old thread where McGann, would die, regenerate into Hurt, who would go back in time to fight in the Time War alongside McGann, do whatever horrible thing, then kill McGann and cause him to regenerate in Eccleston. That way he'd be a real incarnation of the Doctor, who did something so horrible that he then altered his own personal timeline to erase himself from history.

Supposedly, the new Doctor Who Magazine will have three excerpts from the audition script for the Twelfth Doctor. Supposedly nothing spoilery (probably just something they whipped up to try and test the person's range), but just in case:

This reads like the scene where Rose meets Ten, but with Ten doing an impression of Eleven.

I am aware of this, but you'd think if he still had BBC commitments they'd have thrown a fit about him shaving his hair off.

He has a few months off between filming the Gosling thing and the Christmas special, and hair grows back. I doubt the BBC got too hung up about it.

It's possible it's the original suit, which was literally made of pants.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Tennant held onto the suit for when he inevitably came back to the role. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was the original.

Were they using music from the Dark Knight as temp music in Deep Breath? If it wasn't, it was very similar.

What was this forum's reaction to Nightmare in Silver when it aired? Because I just tried to watch it for the first time, and it was......just absolutely lovely, a real piece of crap. All the scenes with the Doctor in his own head fighting with the Borg version of him are loving terrible. Did Gaiman seriously write this? Neil Gaiman?

I think Gaiman said the script got mucked around with quite a bit. The main thread generally agreed it was a subpar episode, but that Matt Smith vs. Matt Smith was great.

In parts of that video Seb has mannerisms identical to that of Tennant Doc. Still no clue on who Seb is meant to be though.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It was eerie how much be seemed like Ten.

If Shona was to come back, I've little doubt that there'd be more ongoing relationship drama. I assume that this is the case because the last item on her list was "Forgive Dave?"

I'm also annoyed by the hypothetical thing that isn't happening.

It's going to be revealed that she's there every time he's on Earth, and while he's away, she raids the TARDIS' wardrobe. I eagerly await the episode where they're wearing matching outfits.

And for some reason the matching outfits are Harry and Lloyd's tuxedos from Dumb and Dumber.

I just watched Genesis of the Daleks for the first time. I.. really hope they don't gently caress with it.

You do realize that even if that Davros episode happens the way it's been rumored, Genesis will still exist, and it won't be illegal to watch or even enjoy it.

While it's really unlikely, I have always really wanted to see them do exactly that. Introduce the next (or a future, but next is easiest) Doctor in the middle of the current Doctor's run. We've seen the opposite plenty, current Doctor running into his past selves, so why not see it from the other way 'round?

That said, yeah, we'd probably know who was cast months ago. It'd still be neat to do, even without a totally surprise reveal.

Well, they sorta did this already in Day of the Doctor.

As someone who isn't a huge classic Who fan, I have to say, classic Cybermen are not what I think of when people say "body horror." They're just so inherently cheap looking that it's hard for me to take them seriously.

See, to me, it works because it looks like a sack of bones and organs being powered by machine.
