Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

Don't actually watch the program but from what I've read they say he's the best Dr Who ever, he will be hard to replace

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

Im not a fan, but I think that he was by far the best Doctor

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

I am old enough to have watched the first Dr. Who with William Hartnell .. who was never meant to be any type of sex object, but an excellent actor none the less and liked his interpretation as an older, wise man.

All the portrayals have been varied and enjoyable watching. Think the series has got better due to better effects and filming, etc., and helps to glorify the current Dr. Who. Yes, David Tennent is an excellent actor, and sure we will be seeing a lot more of him in varying dramas, etc.

I do enjoy the change in the title character, and look forward to the choice of the new one.

It is rather sad though that some younger women use their hormones to appraise the quality of an actor.

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

I think Christopher Eccleston should get a mention. He brought his own, rather quirky, style to The Doctor. David Tennant is a good actor but it was Eccleston who brought the part up-to-date.

Anyway, Dr Who, to me, will always be Tom Baker with that long scarf. He was the one when my children were being scared half to death by the daleks. :D

I can tell you as a male ( young and older ) I have been swayed by the looks of a woman to judge her acting ability :D. Maybe it's a human thing ;)

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

I have no idea where I remember this from but I think it was from either an article I read or an interview David Tennant gave but I seem to have known he wasn't going to continue as the doctor anyway so it came as no surprise to me... in fact I was more surprised at people's reactions as I thought everyone knew....

does that class me as psychic??????? :confused:

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

Now as to who is going to be the next Doctor?? I'm going to say Jack Davenport. He's quite well known to a select audience those being the people that watched Coupling (which was written by Steven Moffat, Russel T Davies' replacement as the boss of Doctor Who) although thinking about it he's well known because of the Pirates Of The Carribean films.

Steven Moffat also wrote Jekyll, which starred James Nesbitt but I dont think for a minute he would get the job.

Actually Tealeaf .. even though don't like him, think his crazy personality could work quite well ... as long as he doesn't deviate from the script. :rolleyes:

Anyway, wouldn't be allowed .. is the BBC.

There is no full series in 2009. There is going to be 4 specials which David Tennant will be in, then a new full series in 2010 with the new Doctor.

All you women just liking an actor because they're 'good looking' , well what about their acting talents, us lads don't look at women actresses like that, we look at them just based on their acting skills:rolleyes:;)

Sean Pertwee would be a fantastic replacement, as it says in the above artical, Sean Pertwee is reportedly eager to follow in his father's footsteps!!

Re: David Tennant quits as The Doctor

I was listening to "The News Quiz" on Radio 4, last week, and Sandi Toksvig joked that she'd like to be the next doctor. Actually, I think she'd be rather good and bring her own novel twist to the part - lesbian Danish dwarf with an hysterical laugh. :D

Problem is with Nesbitt .. he is now over exposed, so would be very surprised if they chose him... to me his accent is a no,no too .. my top two are David Morrissey (1) and James McAvoy (2)

Not a Doctor Who fan, at least not since the early days, not had chance to get in to the new series. But been a big fan of David Tennant for a long while. Loved him in "Blackpool" (With David Morrissey of course). Don't see Morrissey in the part somehow.. but ya never know.

Apparently Tennants Doctor appears to help a damsel in distress in Victorian England and just as he`s about to step in Morrissey appears and says don`t worry, i`m the Doctor.............! A tale of 2 Doctors and Cybermen.
