Been watching her in the Kevin Bishop show repeats. I would do very naughty things to her for a very very short period of time

I'm sorry but I think he looks like a bit of a gimp. Tennant was awesome and this guy just doesn't look the part, already.

Maybe he'll pull it out the bag but he's definately got his work cut out for him.

I watched "Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks" yesterday. Tennant did some excellent shouting.

I don't think new boy will be able to shout like that.

I've not seen anything of this new lad who'll be playing the Doctor, but then again when Tennant took over from Ecclestone he was a relative unknown to me (I have since watched Casanova and LOVED it!).

He may look a bit kooky at the moment, but the Doctor is somewhat of an eccentric...

The other important thing to remember is that so far we've only seen stills of him as the Doctor (unless I've missed something!) so have no idea of how he's going to act in the role, how he'll sound, what mannerisms he'll take, etc...

I'm going to miss Tennant, but rather than crucify him before he begins I'm more than willing to give the new lad a chance, you never know, he may blow Tennant's Doctor out of the water!

That's how I'm viewing it, I don't like the way that a lot of people are dismissing him out of hand without even seeing what he's going to bring to the role.

Oh, I preferred Ecclestone to Tennant anyway.

Made me chuckle

I was just coming in here to post something along these lines myself after pondering about it on the bus home after work yesterday.

Everyone heavily criticised the choice of David Tennant (including myself) after having had such a brilliant and much too short lived in the role Eccleston. Tennant was this "unknown pretender" with "little major acting credit to his name" other than Casanova.

Then he turns out to be one of the best Doctors in the history of the show.

I'm not going to make that mistake twice, let's give the new guy a chance in the role first before criticising him.

His outfit strikes me as perfectly classic Doctor quirkiness, kind of an old-school professor look with better footwear, and a lack of paunch and little glasses much to small for the face.

When are the next Doctor Who specials?

November, I think. Don't recall if there's another one after that (presumably Christmas).

I'm not dismissing him out of hand because I have seen more than just still shots, he's been interviewed for the role, I've heard him talk on several occasions. Tennant struck me as the perfect Doctor when I first saw him, he looks kooky but smart, he has a young but wise face etc etc. This guy doesn't, in the interview he's a bit, how can I put this kindly, I probably can't. Autistic. It's just my opinion, he doesn't seem like he's going to be an entertaining Doctor from what I've seen so far, whereas with Tennant I was already thinking "this guy seems ace"
