Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

OMG OMG OMG

*Squeeeee!*


Ahem. 

So, yea ... the next showrunner is going to be Russel T. Davies 

I am very excited about this.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

This is good. In a perfect world, I'd choose Moffat, but RTD is pretty awesome news. I'm hoping he won't bring back the excessive use of theatrical gels.

Big question is: who will the next doctor be and will Missy return?


Hey! That's me up there!

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

I'd love Moffatt to return but it's too soon - RTD has been away from Who (except as a viewer) for long enough to be able to come at it fresh. 

Oh I would love Missy to return. Hands down my favourite incarnation of the Master. Though I quite like the current incarnation. 

What I would like to see, in a parallel reality is the current Doctor and Master with a different writer and overall aesthetic

Yes. I really feel Jodie was shortchanged.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

I know it will never happen, but I'd love to see more of Christopher Eccleston.
He had a real Tom Baker vibe, slightly sinister and off-putting.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

Yeah - I'd love to see Eccleston do more - Ibelieve he's done / doing some audio for Big Finish

Oh and Tom Baker with modern production standards would be amazing

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

He played a slightly twisted American preacher in "The Leftovers," one of my favorite series of the last decade.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

He was great in the leftovers, as was the whole cast. Such a great show. Some of it was filmed in Hastings on Hudson, a town I know well because crazy-pants, AKA The Previous Administration, hailed from there.

Oh I loved him in that show. Didn't click with me at first - I am so familiar with his usual accent that it really threw me when he opened his mouth and an American accent came out P

Once I had got over the shock, I thought he was great

Same. it was on odd American accent, but it was very consistent and believable.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

I have mixed feelings about it - there's stuff I really dislike and there's stuff I really like. Loving the main villains, Swarm and Azure - they are creepy AF

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

Last episode was a bit too technbabbly for my taste, but I'm used to it so it didn't detract too much.

Still enjoying it even though I like the weeping angels less every time they appear.

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

I thought this gave the angels short shrift- not enough time given to building a sense of menace and unease

Re: Doctor Who: The Return of RTD

I wonder if the new Doctor is going to be in short shorts for long.... at least until Christmas, I suppose.
