damndirtyape Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 rumor has it Paul McGann has filmed something http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/07/25/looks-like-paul-mcgann-has-filmed-a-new-doctor-who-something-but-what/ I really hope that John Hurt's Doctor is the older version of the McGann Doctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Doubt it. McGann is only 20 years younger. If they wanted someone to play an older version of 8, they would have gotten McGann and spent less money. Nope, most likely if this is for real, we're seeing 8 regenerate into John Hurt.

Stavros Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Either way this is awesome. Colour me psyched. I'm just a huge 8th Doctor fan, and he's the one who never got his due on actual screens. Watching this in a cinema is going to be something else man, just epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 So about a month ago one of the costume staff revealed something about where John Hurt's Doctor fits in which answers some spoilered questions around here. As suspected he's going to be the Doctor between 8 and 9, not an other version of McGann. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-07-04/doctor-who-the-identity-of-john-hurts-mysterious-doctor-finally-revealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 These are the official Twelfth Doctor audition pieces. They (probably) won't actually be appearing in any episodes, but I'm putting them in tags anyway (more for size than anything else). 1. INT. TARDIS The new Doctor is checking out the new body. Clara, watching. It’s been a few minutes, they’re both still adjusting. THE DOCTOR: Right then, eyesight. Not bad, bit blue. Ears – not pointy, right way up, more or less level. Face – well I’ve got one. Oh, no -French! CLARA: French. THE DOCTOR: I’ve deleted French! Plus all cookery skills, and the breast stroke. And hopping. Never mind hopping, who needs to hop. Ohh, the kidneys are interesting. Never had that before – interesting kidneys. CLARA: Are you all right? THE DOCTOR: I don’t know, do I look all right? CLARA: I don’t know. THE DOCTOR: How’s the face? Seems all right from the inside. Nice action, responsive. Bit less heft on the chin. How is it? CLARA: It’s… okay. THE DOCTOR: Okay? CLARA: It’s a bit… you know. THE DOCTOR: No I don’t, I haven’t seen it yet. CLARA: Maybe it’s just new. THE DOCTOR: Have you changed height? CLARA: No. 2. INT. SPACE SHIP BRIDGE The Doctor is facing down the Cyberleader, who stares balefully down from the screen. The bridge around the Doctor is burning, ruined. THE DOCTOR: Ah, Cyberleader, hello! CYBERLEADER: Do you have a response, Doctor. THE DOCTOR: Yes, I do. Definitely got a response. And here it is. Yes, your ears look big in that! Sorry, did I misunderstand the question? CYBERLEADER: You will return the stolen cargo. THE DOCTOR: Yeah, well, two points. One, I didn’t steal it. No, actually, I did steal it, I was just hoping if I said that I’d think of a really good excuse before the end of the sentence. Didn’t happen, never mind. Point two – well, point one, second attempt – that isn’t cargo. Those are human beings. CYBERLEADER: They are primed for conversion. THE DOCTOR: I’ve unprimed them. CYBERLEADER: You will return the cargo. THE DOCTOR: No, I won’t. CYBERLEADER: Then the cargo will be taken. THE DOCTOR: Not going to happen, and do you know what’s going to stop you? CYBERLEADER: We will not be stopped. The Doctor raises a finger. THE DOCTOR: Tell it to the finger. See this finger? See what I’m doing with this finger right now. The Doctor moves to the screen. Starts drawing a line across. THE DOCTOR: I’m drawing a line between this ship and you. Between all these people and all your metal men. And this line, it’s a magic line CYBERLEADER: Magic is not logical THE DOCTOR: I know – isn’t it great? Because I’ll tell you what. All these people on this ship are now, officially, under the protection of the magic line. Now, I’ll be honest, these guys in here are a bit annoying. They keep having their own opinions, and sometimes they take turns talking instead of me, which is just boring for everyone. But facts are facts, they’re behind the magic line, and that’s the way it is now. And to be clear, so we all understand the deal here, if any of your handle-heads happens to cross the magic line, even by accident, do you know what will happen to you then? CYBERLEADER: What will happen? THE DOCTOR: Me. 3. The Doctor and a little boy. They’re sitting in the little boy’s bedroom. THE DOCTOR: Does everyone tell you it’s going to be all right? LITTLE BOY: Yes. THE DOCTOR: Do you believe them? LITTLE BOY: No THE DOCTOR: Good man. Tell me what happens when the lights go out. LITTLE BOY: No. THE DOCTOR: Because you’re scared? (Silence) Because you think I won’t believe you. Because you think I’ll tell you everything’s fine, when you know it isn’t, and leave you alone like all the other grown-ups? LITTLE BOY:… yes. THE DOCTOR: Look at me. Am I grown up? LITTLE BOY: Yes. THE DOCTOR: Good! You’re the very first person I’ve fooled. Look, what if I promise I won’t tell you it’s okay. What if I just listen, and then try my best to help, and never tell you that I know better. How about that? LITTLE BOY: …okay. THE DOCTOR: Okay. So. You turn the lights out -then what? LITTLE BOY: The room… changes. In the dark. THE DOCTOR: You mean the room is different when you can’t see it. LITTLE BOY: Yes. THE DOCTOR: Every time? LITTLE BOY: Yes. THE DOCTOR: Different how? LITTLE BOY: It’s wet. When 1 touch the walls, they’re all wet. THE DOCTOR: Like damp. Like water running down them? LITTLE BOY: No. Wet like a mouth. These sound a lot like Smith. However, I guess being the Doctor means taking this and making it theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hmm. Those are VERY Smith. But maybe that's just very Moffat. I know they like a lot of pace coming off a regeneration but I think it could stand a little less madness and a little more decorum. I was hoping for a move back to a less optimistic more calculating Doctor, a mix of 3,6 and 7. No reason that couldn't work, some of the most popular characters on TV are more about presence than antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I can actually hear Tom Baker saying a lot of those as well, but he could also be pretty antic when he wanted to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yes, but Baker never seemed surprised by himself, he was a man who's antics were perfectly arranged to overpower others. Which could be how this is done. You can't tell a lot from a regeneration scene anyway, they're still finding the character. I just hope they know enough to move away from Smith and Tennant, for the sake of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I just hope they know enough to move away from Smith and Tennant, for the sake of the show. Yes. In the short run the audience will find it jarring, but for the long-term health of the show it could stand to stretch a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Not to start us down this path again but I kinda felt a slight feminine touch to the words. Not that I believe for a second that we're finally going to get a female Doctor but there definitely was a touch of something in the words and phrasing.

Kathryn Slater Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well fingers crossed the story is actually worth 90mins and isn't just padding. Fair play to the BBC showing it simulatienously across the world, I'm in Cardiff that weekend and with my best mate and we're going to see it in th ecinema with my young cousins after going to the Doctor Who experience. There should be a great atmosphere in Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Which makes sense, since the Christmas special starts filming next week, I believe. Apparently the frontrunner (if the bookies are to be believed) is Peter Capaldi. Doubt it (too old nowadays) but that would not suck.

Apparently the frontrunner (if the bookies are to be believed) is Peter Capaldi. Doubt it (too old nowadays) but that would not suck. Also he was a major supporting character in 'Fires of Pompeii' (which admittedly means nothing given Colin Baker's guest starring turn) and very prominent in Torchwood: Children of Earth. Maybe if he IS cast, he can put on a costume of that civil servant a la Romana II. Personally, I want it to be Dave Benson Phillips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Evil Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm expecting the following reactions: most people going "who the fuck are they?", a couple of people saying "oh, they're a good choice" and a large contingent saying "nah, they'll never be as good as Matt Smith". Within the first few episodes people will agree they were the right choice. Doubt it'll be Peter capaldi, though I think he'd make an excellent doctor. I'm still hoping for Natalia tena myself, but not holding out too much hope on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
