Thank you, Matt Smith. It was an honour and a delight to write scripts for you: you never did what I expected.

I still hold that Christopher Eccleston shot himself massively in the foot quitting after one season.

On the plus side, David Tenant is The Doctor as a consequence.

Old and new, I think he's the best and 30 years from now when they are considering restarting it again, he will be seen as the one to beat, just like Tom Baker was that of the last run.

Thats true but i still think he had a kind of crazyness that tenant could never pull off.

Then again i had a massive thing for Billy Piper too.

I've got her autograph around here somewhere, before Doctor Who she tried to be a pop star and in primary school she performed on stage. In retrospect a breakout pop star should probably not be trying win on sex appeal in primary schools....

I think it was 1998?

So, the final incarnation of the doctor is coming up? What with the 'max 12 regenerations' thing?

Also, Benedict Cumpterbach.

"It was a stroke of PR genius to slip the hotly anticipated fudging of the Doctor's longevity into a children's series: the episodes are now sure to draw in the viewers. However, Whovians (famously likened by Sarah Jane creator Russell T Davies to a swarm of mosquitoes) will be disappointed that there is no technical reason given for the change: it is simply stated in passing."

Well, you have the already odd "stated" number of regenerations of The Master (plus how many times he's come back from the dead without a standard regeneration), then you have the whole River Song donating (up to 10? new) regenerations when she saved him in "Let's Kill Hitler", plus other oddities, so, meh, it wasn't really "just 12" since a while ago.

Dr House...as The Doctor.

This.

4010x this.

But only if he has a limp and a cane....and is House.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

No, King Laurie is best Laurie.

Then again maybe they would bring back his partner in crime Rowan Atkinson?
