It's official, the new Dr. Who is. . .

Rob The Badger · 20 Mar 2004, 11:04

... Christopher Ecclestone.

A bloody good actor but a left-field choice and totally unexpected....

Just to show my stupidity. Who is Christopher Ecclestone? I'm sure I've heard the name before.

Rob The Badger · 20 Mar 2004, 17:41

Link explains it all.

I think Meat would make a great Dr Who

!!!! Lmao!!!!!!

Wow thats a great picture!!!

I think Ecclestone would be quite good.

Am glad it isn't a "big-name" star per-se as that would just lead to the actor overshadowing the character whereas I doubt Ecclestone is well known enough as himself for this to happen.

And a good enough character actor to make it work. Provided he goes the right way with the part. Time will tell....

black dog · 20 Mar 2004, 23:56

I think he should be good now I know who he is.

Don't know what you're talking about but everytime I see that picture, it reminds me something a friend of mine told me about it:

"His scarf is not very Rock & Roll!!!"

Oddly enough, I thought the series ended with Sylvester McCoy.

I was insanely obessed with DW when I was in high school, I'm glad to see that it is still going on. I hope it will be shown on BBC America, I'll check it out. Though I am a hardcore Pertwee and Davison fan and no one will ever top them in my book! Peter Davison was the Doctor when I first started watching the show so he is "the first" for me, and once I eventually saw all the available shows I found that I liked the Pertwee/UNIT era best of all. Somewhere I have a rather silly picture of me as a teen hunched over a TARDIS control panel at a convention- oh my!

It did end. However it's being re-started, Proper cgi and everything. I'm looking forward to it.

Gez · 21 Mar 2004, 19:17

Badger, maybe your band can make a new theme tune for Dr??

Rob The Badger · 21 Mar 2004, 19:43

Err, no. However, we once covered 'Only Fools and Horses' live. Big mistake.

Des! All that's missing is a sink plunger attached to your forehead and you'd make a perect Dalek

I think from now on you shall be known as Davros

Bumped...... just so that Davros can see why she's no longer called Des.

Deb · 24 Mar 2004, 12:02

Lampost, Does that count even when the bumps gone

*AndyK* · 24 Mar 2004, 21:20

No, when the bump has gone you'll be known as Tardis...... smallon the outside but with an incredible amount of talking stored inside

Deb · 29 Mar 2004, 01:22

i may be a bit tick here, but who is davros in Dr Who anyway?

sherrie87 · 29 Mar 2004, 17:07

Deb,

Davros is the horrid leader of the Daleks- here is a photo:

I can see calling you a Dalek in your current condition, but I wouldn't go so far as calling you Davros himself!
