[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
Oh, it's been coming for ages! RTD said months ago that
he knew when DT was leaving, and it made sense for it to be in the changeover year
.
The only thing that bothers me now is
the endless months of pointless speculation until they announce the New Doctor.
.
But seriously - shouldn't we be able to discuss this in Boxed Set? I don's see how anybody is going to be able to avoid the news.
The awesomest idea I've heard regarding that news is the idea Warren Ellis had (although maybe it didn't originate with him) of
recasting Idris Elba in the role. DOCTOR STRINGER BELL!!!!
lisah, that would make me so, so happy if it were to happen.
Huh. Apparently, that Who announcement was made at an awards show.

lisah -
man. that would be quite an interesting direction for the Doctor Who series!
My vote is still for
Claudia Black.
I was just wondering why we can't have a
female Doctor
.
Well,
Joanna Lumley
played the Doctor in the charity spoof "Curse of the Fatal Death," along with Rowan Atkinson, Jim Broadbent, Richard E. Grant, Hugh Grant, etc.
