Doctor Who S01E01 will begin in 15 minutes on BBC America.
And I mean Season 1, not Series 1.
edit:
Read it wrong, its actually just "Doctor Who: Doctors Revisited", but they are talking all about the first doctor.

I know it's old, but it feel like the time to repost it.
I like how even in all the fan art and sometimes official artwork, any images of the first and second doctors are still black and white. Do no colour photos of them exist, or are they trying to stay true to the TV show?
Staying true.
Holy shit 10th one looks just like david tennant!
Except you know, it's an owl.

Guess staying true. Even though they had colour episodes:
First Doctor: The Three Doctors
Second Doctor: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors

5 predictions for 2013 and onwards, he thinks Colin Morgan (Merlin) might be the next Doctor.
Doubt it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Moffat decides to cast the guy who played Jackson Lake as the 12th Doctor, just to fuck with people.
Come back to this whenever we have actual confirmation from the Beeb but the new First Doctor, ladies and gentlemen.

Edit: Cast for An Adventure in Space and Time to be announced tomorrow. I'll eat my fez if Bradley isn't Hartnell.
The 13th doctor should be a ginger woman, in my opinion.

Actually, probably should mention that I know the person who wrote this article IRL. Anything anyone wants to comment about?
What if the 50th Anniversary had some new doctors, instead of old ones? Like, the Doctor somehow has one of his regenerations split into a number of different fragments, and each fragment is a possible new Doctor? Like, when he regenerates, the new version of him is essentially randomised, right? So if he died at one time and regenerated, it wouldn't necessarily be the same regeneration if he died at a different point in time? So there could be two or three completely new versions of him created, or something like that?
Is this Adventures in Time and Space thing a docu-drama about the show itself, set in the '60s?

Because why would we care about a Doctor we'd never seen before
Thing is, Bradley's going to have to have his hair cut short, as Hartnell wore a wig for Who.
Holy shit that's an excellent casting choice
Excellent casting for the First Doctor. Terrible for Hartnell. He was 15 years younger than David when he wa sthe Doctor and was known for his gangster hard-man roles.
Still it doesn't bother me enough to make me dismiss it. I know to have faith in casting choices after being a Who fan so long.

Yep. How it came to exist.
The casting for Hartnell was as controversial as Eccleston. He was known as a hard-man and used to sit in the pub telling people the show didn't have legs.
But he never let any of that show in his performance. Was an excellent actor.

Never. Actors cast for the Doctor are usually completely unknown. Cheaper and doesn't have all the problems of the audiences already knowing them as somebody else.
I don't think they were completely unknown, just not actually famous. David Tennant and Matt had both been praised for performances in other work before they were cast as the Doctor. William Hartnell was quite well known for some British films he'd made, I believe. Jon Pertwee was a well known radio actor and character actor/comedian, Peter Davison was well known for TV series All Creatures Great and Small in which he had starred since 1978. Paul McGann was in Withnail and I and had previously starred in a BBC Drama series. I've always had the impression that the actors cast are reliable jobbing actors who have had some success
I don't think they would choose another young actor who's already had a starring role in a BBC Saturday night TV series. Like with Benedict Cumberbatch, it would start to feel as if actors like that are just interchangeable.
The roles of merlin and the doctor would be too similar for them to choose that
I wouldn't mind the next doctor being a little bit older (not drastically, maybe about the age Tennant was when he started in the role). Having Matt Smith being all childish and fun is alright, but it would be nice to see another Doctor who is a bit wiser and quieter. Although I doubt the series can ever go back to having a Doctor like that, they'd probably lose a lot of viewers if it wasn't all dashing about and shouting and explosions.

I agree. I was just suggesting that the Doctor has been played by people who weren't completely unknown. The actor needs to be pretty darn good to be able to realistically portray an unspeakably old person in a relatively new body so I wouldn't think any completely unproven person straight from Drama School would be considered. Although you never know, I suppose.
The Doctor is male and I believe he should always regenerate as another male. He's not like Dax who can be combined with either males or females. I always thought that was a bit of a weird idea since it's very difficult to think male if you have a female mind and vice versa, and Doctor Who is a family show not really suited to getting into gender identity issues. My feeling is that if they ever cast a female as the Doctor the show will have jumped the shark. Just my opinion, of course.
Having a female doctor will make for about half an episode's worth of interesting dialogue, and the rest would just be "tee-hee don't hit on me you silly humans"
Although IIRC they've been considering a female doctor as far back as the 5th.

I would like to see somebody older than Tennant next time. 40+. It's not you hit 40 and can't do anything anymore. The role of the Doctor doesn't get any more physical than "Run 10 feet down corridor- now rest for an hour before we reshoot".
What they did for Doctors 1, 2, and 3 was have a secondary character to do all the physical stuff. So a male companion or the Brig. However now the companions have an equally big role as The Doctor and do a lot of physical stuff anyway. I would cast people up to the age of roughly about 65, Anything above 70 and I'd be worried they might die before they get to film their regeneration or something which would be awful. So would the death obviously. Fuck David Bowie could be The Doctor.
Whatever happens next It'd be nice to have a doctor low on the energy in comparison to Smith. The show is supposed to be about change but so far it's been the same hyperactive character with a sudden dark streak twice in a row.
[editline]30th January 2013[/editline]
I agree with the whole The Doctor is male thing.
Though from a scientific viewpoint (lol sci-fi) if every part of his body changes in regeneration (even his amount of heads) then he could easily become a woman. If it did happen it wouldn't bug me. I just can't think of any female actress' I would want to play The Doctor at the moment.

Confirmed by BBC too [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21251726[/url]
Ya know, once they get a 12th Doctor, they can sell Calenders with one doctor per month.
But what about when the 12th Doctor regenerates? D:
The calender I have here at home starts on January 2013 and ends April 2014. So they could just make a 13 month calender.
Going back to the Blackpool story, the guy who posted the info has been rapped and silenced.
