Speculation starts now...


Will it be Roger Moore? Will the next Doctor be female?

Who would you like to see as the next Doctor Who?

Since the whole "Regeneration could be either gender" you would think a 50/50 chance would mean female at some point.

Also Eccleston and Baker 4lyfe

CUMBERBATCH

turns out sherlock is actually the 12th doctor and watson is his companion

THE FOLLOWING IS A SHERLOCK SPOILER NOT DOCTOR WHO: [spoiler]it works because it explains how Sherlock is alive after the season 2 finale too so there[/spoiler]

I would say Craig Ferguson, but his Late Late Show contract just got extended, so nope.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^He did start talking about Sherlock right before the spoiler; I took the hint.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

This is perfect.

sorry guys i thought you guys would read my mind and know it was a sherlock spoiler, further cautionary measures have been taken

If it's anyone but Rupert Grint, I'm not watching

rupert grint would be a terrible choice

Terrible? Maybe. Hilarious? Hell yes.

Robert Carlyle would be cool.

Dude if it's anybody who was in Harry Potter it's gonna be Matthew Lewis. NEVILLE ****ING LONGBOTTOM.

arin hanson

^^That would also be acceptable.

BUT RD THE DOCTOR HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GINGER

Right. As for the whole Ginger thing. In Gallifrey, the only ones to have red hair, where the people called Heroes. These people were Time-sentient (meaning they could see all of time at the same time). I doubt they'll ever make him ginger.

Also, while we're talking about Regeneration. River wasn't the only person who can control the way they look like when they regenerate. Romana (no, I shalln't post her full name.) also controlled the way she looked.

Since The Doctor can't control his hair, he can't also became a female timelord. (Now just watch as they announce a new female doctor.)

I for one, would not like to know who the next Doctor is. I wouldn't like someone overly famous. Nearly all the best Doctor's were unknowns, or little known actors.

Off topic a bit, but my wife and I watched the 8th doctor movie just recently. What's all this about being half-human?

Please be an unknown person.

It's a wonder that they didn't retcon that whole movie (like they retcon a bunch of stuff in the Who extended universe), but it's considered canon now that the Eighth Doctor just lies about himself.
