I think John Simm would have been brilliant, but he's pretty much burned his bridges now ...

In fairness, it has often achieved that (particularly with Moffat's stories). I personally found "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" and "Blink" to be more scary than a lot of adult horror films, although that is probably because most of the modern ones (SAW etc) seem to rely on gore rather than a scary storyline. Still, I do remember Clive Barker explaining how he was able to move to being apparently a successful children's author from writing horrors. He said that both require similar amounts of imagination, and much more imagination than most books. BTW, I have created a thread for discussion of who people want to be the next doctor at http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23...l#post34664802. I think discussing it in this thread might confuse things too much. |
re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
Quite. And it's worth pointing out that in The Doctor Dances, Blink and Forest of the Dead, the net result of the Doctor 'fixing' everything is that 'just for once, nobody dies!' (to quote the man himself in TDD).
Moffatt seems to like giving everyone a really good scare, but also to provide a traditional(ish) happy ending. |

Bring back the Master in his new body to show he's no longer Simm then he escapes again. When it's time for the Doctor to regenerate JS could then come in, and the initial angle could be as he's travelling around the universe he's under the prejudice that he is identical to his sworn enemy. I think there could be something in that. |
re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
I don't doubt they could write their way around it if they wanted to. At least one Time Lord (actually a Lady) in the series has shown an ability to choose what her next regeneration looked like, and to base it on someone she had recently met.
I'm not sure they would want to do that though, as it might appear a bit convoluted. I bet they still want to write Master stories for John Simm as well. |

The Master's transformation at the end of Keeper of Traken was of a somewhat different nature. He had used all his regenerations but wished to use the power of the Source to enable him to hijack someone else's body - which he did, when he took over Consul Tremas (the clue's in the name, if you like anagrams ;) ).

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
True. Actually, I realised that after I posted.. :blush:
Never knew Romana had influenced her own regeneration until Destiny though. |

Well I hope it gets better, I'd rather they axed it if it starts to get stale. But I doubt they will while it's making loads of cash.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
What about Catherine Tate as the next Dr. They could think of some way of him jumping into her body.
|
re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
Or Sally Sparrow.. :drool: (see the 3rd season episode, Blink).
