[QUOTE]The "real face" of television's Doctor Who has been revealed, according to researchers.
With Matt Smith being replaced by Peter Capaldi on Christmas Day, psychologists at the University of Aberdeen Face Lab have revealed the results of their "face averaging" technology.
Images of all the actors who have filled the role in the long-running BBC show were used to develop the result.
The team said it was a "remarkable" result.
[...]
He added: "Evidence has shown that face-averaging could be a powerful tool.
"Previous studies indicate that when you make an average image of a face - essentially creating a prototype with the irrelevant information removed - this significantly enhances the ability of a computer to correctly identify a face.

Oh, you mean from the episode where he gets mashed together with all of his incarnations?
:v:
That kind of does look like the embodiment of old British guy.
What a hilariously average face.
Aberdeen is the centre of British scientific achievement.
But that's not really the face of the doctor, the doctors face IS all of their faces but NOT combined
looks like one of the scientists from goldeneye
The Hoff?
Why is it always british scientists that research useless shit like this?
Because we won already, we can do what we want.
That doesn't look like Tom Baker at all?
That so British. Using all that research technology just to figure something out about Dr. Who.
why do so many people jerk off over dr. who?
Serious question, why's it so popular while other good sci-fi drama stuff is ignored?

It's just a show that's existed for so long that it's become a part of the culture, so people have an almost natural liking towards it.

There's also some people, such as myself, who really like the Character of The Doctor. He's the person I wish I was.

No idea what originally drew her to it, but my girlfriend is a little obsessed as well.
She's been trying to get me to watch it for 3 years, and I just started this month. TBH, it's not a bad show and it's a lot more bearable after you realize that it's a family show that parents watch with their children. Some of the plots are pretty interesting and the show doesn't take itself too seriously.
If you watch it thinking it's going to be some Battlestar or Firefly, you're not going to be happy.

I guess that's what i'm doing wrong then. Those two, especially BSG, are my favorite shows [I]of all time.[/I] I guess I'm just used to that kind of acting/storyline from a sci-fi drama.
i can see the david tennant in his face and it's scaring me
It reminds me of Clarkson/May put together with some of the essence of the hamster.
New studies show people in Aberdeen have too much spare time on their hands
This is extremely important Scottish science.
So the doctor's true form is the blandest, most average mother fucker ever?
