Just seen a TV ad for the new series of Have I Got News For You.
Looks like we've found the guys in the big scarves.

But in seriousness, it's a pretty good advert. Better than those damn stings. :v:
I just imagined Eddie Murphy palying the Doctor.
And the companion. With a fat suit.

Genuinely my favourite Thick of It GIF and was my avatar seconds before I made it into my current one.
It's now even better.

Picture is from Gallifrey Base back in July. It's fanmade obviously.
But if The Master ever came back he HAS to look like that. Oh my god.
[editline]30th September 2013[/editline]
Moffat has been saying a lot recently that there's a secret hiding in plain sight..
The biggest gimmick of The Master was his disguises and how he hides in plain sight. Even posing as a politician to become Prime Minister.
Curious speculation in the land of GB. Some members believe that by the ned of the 50th the Timelords will be returned. Then at some point they will once again force The Doctor to regenerate like they did in War Games. He'll once again be given a selection of faces to choose from based on great heroes of the universe. The Capaldi face is among them.
It's complete random speculation but I like it.
It's quite in interesting idea that a Timelords face is actually based on somebody else who is alive. It's one I've considered before.
that sounds really cool
tbh, its about time they came back.

Is it, though? There was a reason RTD wrote them off, wasn't there?
[QUOTE=Drewsko;42369100]Is it, though? There was a reason RTD wrote them off, wasn't there?[/QUOTE]
Yes, because bogging the revival down with the time lords and their entire daft mythos would have made it pretty impenetrable to new fans. It's been nine years since the revival, and complicated backstories are the norm once more. The time lords are due a return.
Eh, I don't want them back. I like the guilt it brings to the Doctor.
Also as Moffat once said: The Timelords were boring and stuffy.
Kasterbourous reporting that there is a piece of DW news in 15 minutes. But 'not something worth staying up for.'
What could it be...?
Something that's not worth staying up for, yet also has an embargo?
Blogtor Who now reporting 'exciting news' incoming. Even joking about the embargo time.
Is it a 5 second teaser? It's probably nothing special :v:
News? Exciting?
My guess would be 50th casting reveal. Either an enemy (Davros, Master etc), a companion or a Doctor.
Or news about the prequel.
EDIT: Or the idents.

BBC Worldwide today announced that the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, will be broadcast simultaneously to millions of viewers worldwide in a global simulcast on 23rd November 2013. This is an exciting first for the show.
From Canada to Colombia, Brazil to Botswana and Myanmar to Mexico, fans in at least 75 countries spanning six continents will be able to enjoy the episode in 2D and 3D at the same time as the UK broadcast, with more countries expected to be confirmed within the next month. The US, Australia and Canada have also signed up for the simulcast which will be shown in numerous countries across Europe, Latin America and Africa.
On top of the worldwide TV broadcast, hundreds of cinemas in the UK and across the world also plan to screen the hotly anticipated special episode simultaneously in full 3D, giving fans the opportunity to make an event of the occasion and be part of a truly global celebration for the iconic British drama series. Details about tickets for the anniversary screening will be announced in due course. [/QUOTE]
It's about the simulcasting.

Oh yeah, fuck streamings with crappy quality
All at the same time?
So what time will it air on the east coast of America?
Probably about 12:30 PM
I have never got the time to watch the new Doctor Who series. I hear so much about it, when I went to comic con, it had fans en masse. I'm into GoT and Walking dead. As well as breaking bad. What's the appeal to the show? Debating to start watching.

Is the great spirit of adventure an acceptable answer?

Those three shows take themselves seriously and have an incredible filmic quality.
I've never seen anything that quite feels like Doctor Who. The only thing that's close is perhaps Star Wars if it was more tounge in cheek. Every episode also has a fresh feel. It's just a show worth watching.
it probably had more fans as it's the 50th hype and it seems Doctor Who fans are all over the shop.
Moffat backing up his previous words about setting up the future, from [B]The Doctor: His Lives And Times.[/B] Sounds like he's speaking to blitzown :v:
[QUOTE]“You’re going to get every kind of retrospective in the world when it comes to the 50th and you’re not going to be short. To make this show just a walk-down, just a tribute to the past, a backward glance, would be like one of those end of year shows: ‘That was the year that was! Look back and feel slightly old and sad.’ Don’t do that! Of course it’s a celebration of the legend of Doctor Who, but more importantly it’s ensuring there’s going to be a 100th anniversary.
He adds: “It’s a hugely important story to the Doctor. That was my mission statement. Very, very rarely in Doctor Who does a story matter to him very much at all. Obviously he runs around, defeats mutants, meets a space badger, saves a civilisation, causes epiphanies to happen to everyone he meets, rushes back to the TARDIS and forgets everything about it. If you asked him he might have a vague memory of the badger, and that’s it.
“My intent was to move it forward, to have a show that’s equally about the next fifty years of Doctor Who. Attaching the word fifty to anything… I almost tried to rip the logo off saying ‘Why is that good?! That show you’re watching is really old!’ Why is that a good thing to say? It’s about proving we’ve got many, many more stories to tell, and in a way, being able to say the story really starts here. People ask me how am I going to please the regular audience and I say I’m actually on a recruitment drive to get the people who’ve never watched it before to watch Doctor Who. That’s what matters. There are some people out there who’ve never watched it before, God help them. You want them to think, ‘Oh I’ve been missing out, I’m going to join in now.’
“If you’re going to celebrate Doctor Who, you’re celebrating the Doctor – well, why not tell his story? What’s it like for him? What’s it like being him, what defines him, what defines what he is? How do you make that might moment in his life? What would be the Doctor’s most important day, what would be the show that would change him as a person for ever, alter the course of his life?
“That’s what’s big enough to do for the 50th, rather than just a parade of the greatest hits. Never mind that space badger one; this is the adventure that he really remembers, and thinks, ‘That was the day everything changed.’”[/QUOTE]
Also sounds like he's going to unleash a shit storm on the lore in November. :v:
that's awesome
Not really Doctor Who news, but [URL="http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/02/broadchurch-david-tennant-fox-remake/"]David Tennant will reprise his role of Detective Alec Hardy in the American Broadchurch remake.[/URL]
Seems interesting to say the least.

Uh. Why is he playing an american detective? There was no problem with him playing a Scottish Detective in an English Town before. Why not a Scottish Detective in an American town? Why bother remaking it? The English charm was the point. If you are going to remake it, make it vastly different and fresh while keeping the same feel. Not just recycle the exact same story and actors.
Broadchurch was really really really good though and had a shit-ton of Who-related cast so I recommend a watch if you get the chance. All written by Chibnall who is the favourite joint with Mark Gatiss to take over when Moffat leaves.

Also I could totally see Russell coming back, but that's just pure speculation.
Neither are in a position to be head writer though. Toby has no experience and RTD has already left, he has no reason to come back.
But Gatiss has his fingers in all the BBC pies and works with Moffat on Sherlock. Chibnall had massive success with Broadchurch and is an averagely-received writer who has become considerably more liked with every story. Gatiss and Chinall were also vocal fans in the 80's and 90's just like Moffat and RTD.
They're not my ideal choices by any stretch. But from the perspective of the BBC they're safe bets.
My [I]dream[/I] choice would be Robert Holmes.
