@bitshift Ironic.
-
@thelastgherkin I mean, in fairness I've crushed on a few Doctors (cough Eight cough), but I'm not about to say that must be a requirement for the role. It just bothers me that such a sentiment is likely to prevent there being a "real" Doctor played by an old man in the new series for a while, no matter how good said actor is.
-
@bitshift I'm not an expert but isn't the character like, 1200 years old or something?
-
@ceruleanspark Thereabouts, yes. He's also been played by at least two actors who already counted as old men by the time they were in the role, just not during the *current* run.
-
@bitshift Is he to be succeeded by Sir Patrick Stewart?
-
@bitshift "Oh, he’s too old! Well, he’s too fat isn’t he? No! He’s too thin! That one’s too young! Oh now that won’t do at all! This is ridiculous!"
Bit Shift likes this. -
@rotation Not as far as I know, but I'd watch that any day.
-
@bitshift He will then be replaced with Sir Ian McKellen.
-
@rotation And then Vicious will turn out to be a Who spin-off where the Doctor is living with the Master, but they're both chameleon arch'd?
-
@bitshift God, Vicious is awful. How could they take such an awesome premise and make it into a terrible show?
-
@thelastgherkin Yeah. :(
