Does anybody else have the problem where they've rewatched the revival episodes so many times they've tapped them dry? I guess I could start on the Martha season again.

Honestly, there's not many revival eps I can watch over and over. That's what Big Finish and other TV shows are for.

I have a vision of the next Doctor being a mumbling introvert a la a Newt Salamander.

Redmayne's Newt seemed too much like a Matt Smith impression, honestly.

EDIT: My hot take: I never liked Tennant as the Doctor.

I'd call 10 a Hartnell, honestly. For all his wisecracking, he still likes to present himself very much as an authority figure.

drat it - last night's episode didn't take. What did I miss?

Omega came back! It was revealed his experiments with the black hole and time travel were the cause of the Weeping Angels! The Doctor pulled the Hand of Omega out of storage from the TARDIS, and rode it Dr Strangelove style, blasting both he and Omega back into the antimatter universe! But then it was revealed that Bill had rescued him last moment and placed him back at Antarctica in 1986.

I feel like Doctor Who has a different kind of profile in Britain compared with Star Trek in America. I feel like there's a bigger and wider sense of affection for Doctor Who; no doubt a combination of its status as more of a children's programme and the smaller audience.

But compare the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who to the fiftieth anniversary of Star Trek.

Right, there's a real sense Star Trek Beyond wouldn't have happened if Paramount hadn't realised it was the 50th.

With Reggie Yates getting older and Ukweli Roach off working in America, he's one of the guys I'd be keen to see playing Peter Grant if and when that Rivers of London adaptation ever gets a move on.

Out of those, Ukweli Roach fits closer to my head version. Plus Kaluuya is off in the US too now. Black Panther, Get Out, etc.

Also acceptable:

- Daniel 'Clyde Langer' Anthony from Sarah Jane Adventures
- Samuel 'Danny Pink' Anderson
- Alfie 'grandson of Ian Chesterton' Enoch

McGann is Nightingale through and through. :colbert:

In any event, if they are going to cast a non-white Doctor, perhaps they should choose a British Asian actor, because I have heard that Britons of Asian (and particularly south Asian) descent constitute the largest proportion of BAME Britons but are (according to an article I read which explained why Citizen Khan is so popular despite its sometimes dubious comedic value) proportionately even more poorly-represented on television in the UK than black Britons (feel free to dispute this because I did not seek further sources).

It is a shame Ace Bhatti isn't younger.

And Naveen Andrews.

Raza Jaffrey would be good.

I'd really like to see Sacha Dhawan do it. He's got form and was even Waris Hussein briefly.

It's the same for James Bond - the only actor cast as James Bond who was already a really big star was Roger Moore and he was mainly a TV actor (in fact he was the highest-paid TV actor in the world at the time).

Daniel Craig was fairly big, no?

RTD said that when he told David Tennant that he wanted him to be the Doctor, Tennant's reaction was "He laughed, then swore, then said 'I want a long coat'."

I could never take him seriously in that, it looked like a kid wearing his dad's overcoat. The sleeves were too long and the hem should have been about 6 inches higher.
