I agree about not feeling like three seasons. Too much time between shows. Moffat messed it all up.

Then there is the rumors about making him female.
All I can picture is the mistress and the female medic having a cat fight, pulling each others hair and ripping their clothes then making out just like those night time dramas. In most cases, yes, I would love to see something like that but this is the Medic.
If it ever happens, it will be the end of the show for sure

Despite being hampered by some truly horrible stories (Kill The Moon...ugh), with a veritable mixed bag of quality stories throughout his tenure, C@p@ldi always gave GREAT performances. Of the Nu Who Medics, he was rapidly gaining favorability with me.
I'd put him second (I liked ELEVEN) as he embodied enough of TEN to pass him (and I loved the old school Medics 1,2,3 whom TWELVE emulates, which only adds to the appreciation).

I'm going to have to adjust my ranking in my signature to reflect this (soon).

Sadly, it's difficult to truly get a bearing on the overall performance as the aforementioned bad stories definitely hurt, as did some questionable choices (sonic spectacles, guitar, etc...) added to the fact that his run has been so broken up by dead time.

I would have loved one season under a New show-runner. Just to see what it'd be like...

Alas...

I agree about the sun glasses being a pretty lame idea, but from everything I've heard it was Peter himself who pushed for his Medic to play the guitar and dress slightly more punk. It was his way of injecting more of himself into the character.
I agree with everyone that despite having been hampered by some really bad stories during his first two years, Peter himself has consistently given a solid performance. It would have been nice to see how his Medic would have been handled under someone other than the Moff but now we'll never know.

If I was running herd on Doctor Who, I would start casting the next 2 Doctors (13 and 14) at the same time. 13 would be a short-term Doc, maybe just one storyline and HE'd be the one I'd announce as having been cast and having a multi-series/season contract (total lie) and not say one word about the following Doctor. I would write a story with no way for the Doctor to win, only for him to realize the only way he could would be to sacrifice himself and follow through on it. Not even a full series for Doc 13 and have 14 start right afterward with no announcement of the change beforehand.

13 would have to be white and male (though possibly NOT British) to avoid accusations of racism or sexism, but 14 could be anything.

I'm picturing the death scene involving the Doctor noting that he hadn't even broken in the new body yet, hadn't even look in a mirror and asking who-ever happened to be around "Am I ginger?" and then kicking the bucket before hearing the answer, leaving 14 to wonder what 13 looked like and never knowing whether he/she had ever been ginger.

But maybe that's just me...

Gutted he's leaving but I imagine BBC Worldwide need the revenue that a Tennantesque figure might bring in. Glad Moffat's off through, like some of his writing but his series arcs have been rubbish. And much as I like Gatiss I wish he'd just stop writing for the medic, I'm sorry but an Ice Warrior taking off his shell was really stupid and the episode wasted Warner. I'm not keen on the idea of a female medic just because i think they'd pick someone terrible, Miranda Hart? NO!!!! So all in all a downer and I think he was pushed and am extremely dubious about Chibnal, didn't rate any of his eps and thought series 2 of Broadchurch was just bad.

I don't think we'll ever really see a female Medic. Most fans (even female ones) identify the character as strictly male. Fans are far more willing to accept a male actor of a different ethnicity as the Medic but not a woman. If a female were cast as the Medic I have a feeling the backlash from Nuwho fans would be deafening. Look how many lashed out when Peter was cast rather than another young tween heartthrob type.....which I suspect is the type of actor they'll be looking to cast.

I think the main issue with the speculation of the new medic is that the names they are dropping are already famous people with film and tv careers. Filming the medic series and the promotion that comes with it means they would have to put that on hold and I don't think the Medic would pay so well that they would give that up.
I would love for them to find a relative unknown again and make them a star.

Ben Wishaw would make a great doctor, but his career seems upwardly mobile enough without it?
What about someone like Tom Burke as a lively outsider?
PC has acted with him , he was superb in War & Peace and makes the best of Musketeers.
also worth noting for anyone having a punt , that neither PC or MS featured in the odds markets until 48 hours before when they appeared as odds on favourites

They have drawn on previous guest stars in the past who were chosen to play the Doctor, why not Mr. Morrissey? His Doctor persona would be different than the Jackson Lake character he played in "The Other Doctor". He has the looks and the character acting style which suggests that he could pull off the role of The Doctor quite well.

I think the rumours back then were due to the eccentric way he played his role in "My Family". That show's comedy was too broad for me but I remember finding him very watchable due to his oddness. However, I don't think Doctor Who needs a wacky Doctor right now as it plays up to non-fans' idea that it's about a silly man in scarves and hats chasing Daleks every week.

I believe the rumours that the BBC wants an attractive male and a younger female to lead the charge into the next era of, they hope, huge ratings and massive toy sales. I'm doubtful the series can do that again, particularly with a writer of Chibnall's caliber in charge but one never knows.

That reminds me of the Eighth arc in the novels. However, that wasn't wholly successful as the writers kept him away from his major foes etc. so we never had the chance to read him facing up to Pepperpots and having no clue who they were.

Personally, I fully agree with you about a fresh start but I doubt the writers would follow through on it. Also, it could get too complicated; he bumps into NUTI and Stethbridge-Lewart has to info dump all over him or Dirac returns from the grave and spends five minutes lecturing him on dinosaurs and pyjamas. Again, the option would be to stay away from those situations but I think we'd hear complaints from certain areas, angry that the writers have ignored five decades of history, whilst completely missing the point of the exercise.

Two full-time companions would be nice to see again. I'd also appreciate a lot more variety in the casting with regards to age and race. Too often we discard viable ideas because the twittertumbleryoutubers "may not like it". Ballcocks to them - if the writing's up to snuff, the series can get away with anything.

Which is why I thought it was awesomely audacious of Moffat when he dropped the bombshell that was the Conflict Medic on us. I'm betting anything that if it weren't for JH's superlative performance, the fans would be in revolt because of Moffat's retconning of RTD's "myth arc".

Which is why I thought it was awesomely audacious of Moffat when he dropped the bombshell that was the Conflict Medic on us. I'm betting anything that if it weren't for JH's superlative performance, the fans would be in revolt because of Moffat's retconning of RTD's "myth arc".

I absolutely hate the entire concept. :D

I was a huge fan of the novels and it was the Eighth who led us into battle. Moffat was aware of this and decided to ignore it. Fair enough, only a fraction of fans read the novels but to invent a new incarnation and give him more screen time than actual Dotcors in the biggest anniversary so far was, for me, completely unforgivable. Yes, Hurt always gave a good performance but, were I in charge of the show, I'd retcon him out of existence. The character is a confused mess - the hardline warrior (who's really as cuddly and fun as all the others) who doesn't go by the name of the Dotcor but actually does... it's jumbled nonsense.

Since the news of his departure, I've been gorging myself on the P3T3R C@P@LD! episodes (not all of them. I've skipped some of the "less-than-good" stories; "Assassinate the Earth-Satellite", "The Adolescent Female who Joined the Bleeding Choir-Invisible", "Slumber Nevermore", etc...) and just soaked in his performances.
He. Is. GOOD!
Riveting performances, filled with nuance and emotion.

It is official: 12th Medic is now in my # 5 slot (4,2,8,11,12):
This was a big jump. He *was* sitting low in the back half (#9 or #10, I can't remember), but that was primarily because when I made the list, he barely had one series and I needed more to gauge my opinion.

I've updated my sig (which, it seems gets retroactively changed in all my old posts).

Not really *news* or anything.

Very nice! I forgot to mention this, but my scarf was also a Christmas gift from my older brother's in-law's a couple of years ago. They know I'm a big fan of the Medic's adventures, so they figured it'd be perfect for me. Also, I'm probably in the minority here, but I didn't like the burgundy scarf quite as much as the original. I mean, it looks nice, but I feel it's not as instantly recognizable as the original. Plus, having it be all varying shades of one color is honestly kinda dull to me. I like the differing colors of the original because they makes it pop and give it a real personality.

I used to feel the same as you do - re; the multicolored neckware vs the umber ombre, however, as I got older, something about that burgundy scarf really called to me.

I'd wear both (not at the same time, obviously, as walking would be IMPOSSIBLE - and I'd likely spontaneously combust...er... regenerate... due to the HEAT). While the classic scarfy IS indeed iconic, some days I think the autumnal shades would be just what the Doc...er, uh... Medic ordered.

Oh, and as for family gifts, yes - the multicolored was a Christmas gift, several years back, from my (also Medic-fan) Sister, while, for my birthday 2-years ago, my brother gave me something I've wanted since I was a lad (long before the Medic wore one)... a Fez.

A little after that you hear someone say "You silly fu..ing asshole" (though they actually say "fu..ing" but, as this is a family forum I won't).

And radio stations have been playing this happily since the 60's. Turn up and have a listen yourself (it's around 1.05 into the song that the ashtray gets mentioned, 1.10 the swearing)

Hal is a call out to Hal Blaine, their session drummer that would put his ashtrays on the drum set.... one fell the comment was "Hal and his famous ashtrays" the assumption was that when they were recording it they were pretty drunk; the ashtray way knocked over,,,and someone cursed him out over it

Okay, Del was being polite. You're being a git. Calm the flip down.

the point is that him getting his heckles in a bunch over this particular actor doesn't make much sense...since out of all the talent that LC has employed ovder the decades...... this is probably the one that was the most well off and didn't need to money.

His reported net worth was somewhere between 20-25 million .....

It makes perfect sense to me in the context I was talking about, that of people lamenting his death in the same breath as downloading the file. I'll happily donate to a cancer charity and still won't download this file. Can I assume you'll be donating too?

I said right at the start you don't have to agree with me. I also said that in this one incidence that sharing that one file while saying that one thing didn't sit well with me. It's not a high horse, it's a personal judgement that, let me repeat this you don't have to agree with. We all have a line somewhere, I'd imagine that you would probably be against the sharing of new charity anthologies despite the fact that this is a sharing thread. That's your line, that's fine and I'd respect your position. I individually and without judgement of others decided that I was uncomfortable with another thing. I shared this thought without any entreaty for others to think the same.

I understand everyone's view on this, and I am not taking a side or getting involved in it - however, the discussion did lead to a thought (one of my daily few):

It's often quite difficult to try to get a point across without it SEEMING to be an angry reply.
As seen above, I often use CAPS to emphasize a word, but in internet-parlayance, it is "shouting".
As seen in del37's instance, using bold, yet lowercase letters is taken as the same thing.

I will also sometimes try to use italics, or underlined text but not all venues allow for it (even if using HTML code to enable it).

'twould seem that a hefty use of emoticons is required to ensure others that it's merely emphasis.
;-)

Now, let's all go back to discussing things that are more pleasant and agreeable...

That's a very good point, I was using bold to imply an emphasis and a rhythm to what I was saying but it isn't meant to sound annoyed because I'm not. :)

Not referring to you, but I guess that sometimes it can be pretty hard to state what you really want to say within a paragraph or two on here, when you can't get across your tone of voice or, like me, find it hard to put something in a reasonable sentence and ramble on. It's easy to misconstrue something.

Might anyone have, or be able to point me to, the LC extended audio version of the 8th Medic remake of the scarfed one's never-completed adventure? For some reason it seems to have gone missing from my archives ....

Thank you in advance!

You know, it really feels like series 10 should have been a couple of years ago, what with the year of "Specials" and the year of only the Christmas special slowing things down.

I remember the long "Wilderness Years", and now the Medic's been back 12 years!

I remember the long "Wilderness Years", and now the Medic's been back 12 years!Technically you are correct. Never understood the reasoning behind the hiatus'. Ok, I get that Moff supposedly needed the prolonged stretches between series because of Sheerluck, but if he couldn't make both workable then he should have stepped down from Medic hoo sooner and concentrated all his efforts on the other show. As it was 12's run suffered creatively because Moff overextended himself. But what was RTD's excuse? Hopefully there won't be yet another prolonged stretch between series 10 and 11.

But what was RTD's excuse?
It was a combination of RTD getting more hands-on in the writing of "TW: Children of Earth", as well as Mr. Tennant having a big theatre commitment before shooting the 2009 specials. Granted, I could be wrong on those fronts. But from what I read in "The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter", RTD was seriously scrambling to help TW out while hashing out the last stories of Mr. Tennant's era driving the TARDIS.

Pretty much, but it was mostly Ten's commitments to the RSC and such that necessitated doing the specials instead of a full series.

Yeah, I couldn't remember if it was the RSC or something else altogether, but I did remember it was something theatre-related that Ten was up to.

It didn't do Sheerluck any favours, either. I'm tempted to go back and rewatch the first few stories to see if they really were as good as I remember, because the last few didn't do much for me at all.

Nope that's backwards! Originally there was a complete gap year to give the series a rest before Moff took over so the public wouldn't tire of it. So DT went and booked his theatre stuff assuming he would either leave at the end of S4 or have a year off before S5.
Only then the Beeb suddenly changed their mind and RTD agreed to stay on and do some specials purely to stop an interim production team stepping in for 12 months and messing it all up.

"Journey's End" was originally meant to the RTD's swansong, hence Rose coming back and having a conclusion to her story. Check out The Writers Tale.

I think that people should be really careful about claiming that reasons that they are GUESSING are why things were done are the actual reasons that they were done. They should also be very careful about assigning blame without actually knowing where that blame should be assigned.

Has there been ANY evidence that these breaks are any of Moffat's doing? If not, is it really fair to give him the blame? He may be the producer, but he goes with the budget and the schedule that he's been given by the BBC. We know that he was very disappointed that he wasn't allowed by the BBC to fulfill his promise of more Who than ever before in the anniversary season. If he wanted to produce more Who then, why should be believe that it's suddenly him that wants to do less of it now?

In fact, Russell T Davies gave us our likely answer back around series 4 of the new show. He was constantly asked why he was't producing the show in HD, and his answer was always that it would dramatically increase the costs of the show, particularly with the CGI, which would force the BBC to cut the number of episodes that they produced of the show. Eventually, he reluctantly gave in at the end, and we haven't gotten more than two full seasons in any three years since then. Meanwhile, in that time, the BBC's budget has been dramatically cut. Doctor Who is one of the most expensive series that they produce. Is it any wonder they're looking for excuses to make less and less of it, while still keeping it on the air, and keeping the overseas and licensing revenues flowing?

But you have to have the show on the air regularly to keep those revenues flowing. Sadly, they seem to be assigning the blame for less licensing money on Capaldi, rather than on their own decision to rarely produce new episodes, lessening interest in the series and its merchandise. Yes, licensing revenue was way higher during David Tennant's era, but there were also 56 episodes in 4 years then, as well as countless episodes of Torchwood, Sarah Jane, Confidential, Totally and much more to keep interest high! Since then, we've had fewer episodes than that over the past SIX years, with another huge break coming. When the show finally comes back, it will have had only three seasons in the previous 5 years. They've put out six novels in the last three years, and they're surprised that they're not selling many?

And in terms of toys licensing they went from lots of 5" action figures to almost exclusively shitty 3.75" figures, except for a few 5" figures that were limited edition and/or exorbitantly priced. They had been less than $A20 for single pack 5" for series 2 and now the bad lady figure is going for $A70+ if you can find it. The 11 medic multi pack was about $A150 and the new 13 medic one is about $A300....wonder why they don't sell as many!

Indeed. And I find it very difficult to find many shops here in Oz that actually sell the figures, especially since most of the ABC shops are gone.

The only place locally that I've ever seen Medic merchandise is at Barnes and Noble, which incidentally is also the only place that sells classic series DVDs, but the prices are so outrageously high that it's nigh impossible to afford on my budget.

That's one thing about the DVD/Blu-rays here - at least they're affordable here. Luckily Aussies seem to love stuff from the UK and will actually be released here, though there were still many things that weren't released - that really annoys me (I'm talking what gets lumped as "Cult" TV).

I've just been going through my old DVD magazines (in the early 2000's Australia had about three different DVD magazines going - I won about 100 or so DVDs between them, luckily) and note that a lot of the old complaints still apply. Things like certain titles being released overseas, and not here. Or taking so long to be released here. A lot of our DVDs miss the features that are present on overseas releases.

You'd think companies would learn but, no, they still continue with their crap. No wonder people buy online when they get dudded here. And why do we still have Region coding???!!!! I'll buy myself a region free Blu-ray player soon (only AU$100 in Big W), just so I can watch overseas Blu-rays (not that it matters with Region free ones).

Ah, that's my rant I just had to get out. Sorry.
