IF ONE WAS A BEAVER, HOW MUCH BEAVER WOULD YOU BEAVER?

I LIKE OCOTOPUSES.

PETER CAPALDI!!!

He was already on Docotr Who and Torchwood tho, so I wonder how they will explain this.

It's not exactly a new thing that Who has reused actors, Colin Baker was on Who before he became 6. Freema was on before she was Martha. And in the same episode that Peter was in, Karen was there before she was Amy.

They could have a throwaway line like the one with Martha (where she talks about her "cousin" at torchwood) or they may ignore it.

I am excited for a new doctor though.

True. I just think it would be cool if there was a shout out somewhere somehow. I`m not expecting anything besides a "have I seen you before?"

AYRT. Karen had a cute tweet where she mentioned seeing Peter in Pompeii before. They may have a quick line about it in the show.

Did she? Aww. Maybe Clara will mention it or Jack can have a cameo as I miss him.

...and the showrunner is...? (Hey, I live in hope, all right?)

Ha!

I agree.

Still Moffat :/ He seems like he wants to stay forever.

ayrt

baaaaaahhhhhh humbug. I don't care if dude up there spits rainbows in every episode, I'm still not watching. :-(

Yeah I had the random thought today that Moffat being there means 12 is going to be making inappropriate sexist comments and I am not here for that.

I really want Moffat to go at the beginning of twelve's run.

ayrt

Preferably before! Terry Nation running the show by seance would be better, tbqh....

Keep hoping because they're going to replace him eventually and a lot of people who work on the show and some who work at BBC say he's going to get replaced between 8a and 8b.

Phil Collinson has basically begged to be taken on in Moffat's place since they made him step down from Corrie but they've said no and are supposedly still looking for a replacement.

ayrt

Well, at least they've learned their lesson with not taking on soap opera writers, then.

Do you mean between the first and second episodes when you say "between 8a and 8b"? If so, that is excellent news!

I think they mean between the first half of the season and the season, like how seasons 6 and 7 were split and aired in two.

But even if it was the midpoint of season 8 vs the second episode, that'd still be amazing news. (Please don't give me false hope, anon.)

ayrt,

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOW. That would be fantastic news. I WILL START WATCHING DOCTOR WHO AGAIN PLEASE AND THANK YOU BBC.

Yes, I meant midpoint of the eighth series. Supposedly it's because it's better for the show if they keep the exec producer on during a major cast change and then once the new cast (in this case it's just the lead actor) is established with the audience and settled into the job, then change the exec producer.

I hope it isn't false hope! It could be but there are people connected with the show talking about it as well as some of the suits at BBC, so it's a bit more likely than the average rumour.

Thanks, nonnie, that's great news!

Like othellia said, I meant between the first and second half of the eighth series.

The issue isn't that he's a soap writer because they have a great histry of soap writers working very well on Doctor Who. It's an issue of how Collinson runs shows and the storylines he chooses to pursue. When the ratings for Corrie got really bad and he was ordered to change direction with the show so it would be more like it always had been, he refused and publicly stated that the most important thing in any show he works on is to introduce as many homosexual characters as possible and do away with the heterosexual characters. For a show with existing characters, that doesn't work well. It would work better on Doctor Who than Corrie since it's the nature of the show to replace all the characters regularly, but it's not something the BBC is likely to allow to happen with Doctor Who since they're already struggling with native ratings and have lost a fair bit of the international distribution market in the last two years.

struggling with native ratings
Huh?

Meaning the ratings in the UK, which are the only ones that count for BBC-produced shows. Ratings from overseas markets count towards the marketability of the show and that all falls under BBC Worldwide, but they don't count towards the production of it. So a show could be very popular all over the world except the UK and they'd cancel it because it's the people watching it in the UK that pay for the production of it.

The ratings for BBC productions are compiled from first and second transmission/airing as well as views on the BBC iPlayer within a certain time (I forget exactly what the timeframe is but I think it's the first 24 hours).

SA

I forgot to say that the (UK) ratings for Doctor Who have been falling. They've dropped more than 50% since Moffat became the exec producer. They went from over 14 million to about 6.5 million.

I don't know who that is, and I don't know anything about the show, but I gotta say, this has been the best thread I have ever read.

Haha. Thank you <3
