Who are these doctors?
FUCKTHISFUCKINGUSERNAMEBULLSHIT
Tennant the best.
DumlenKarlsson
Loved Eccleston as the Doctor, was the first Doctor for me. Really good in the Episode the Empty Child. Are you my mummy?
ICantThinkOfAUsername69
Goddammit still mad at Moffat for failing a brilliant actor like Capaldi as epically as he did.
ohnocatnado
Same!
jhs2595
I swear I saw Capaldi in Edinburgh last week, or at least someone who looks remarkably similar.
JustThePGTips
We did the Eat/Walk Edinburgh tour two weeks ago and our guide looked exactly like Capaldi, so I wouldn't be surprised.
onehugedeal
Thought the first guy was Ed O'Neill and I was confused

They are all great! My first Doctor ...http://imgur.com/MWKWAdz

Waiting for the anouncement of the doctor to follow Capaldi.

Eccleston was my favorite doctor. Too bad he was only there for one season.
governmentgavemeagun
I think he was a great Doctor. Deserved more than 1 season, at least.
repurposedschleem
I still can't not see Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker
SweetShroom
Malcolm Fucking Tucker
ElPoloDiablo
He's fucking amazing at swearing.
SJohnson23
And right now, someone is also just so happy for exactly that reason.

No Doctor post-Sylvester McCoy is canon.

Eccleston...it didn't mean jack to me as I am an uptight prig and was only going to phone it in anyhow
muisverriet
If you're gonna call someone a prick at least spell it right.
Sejanus1964
The word is prig and it is correctly spelled, but hey thanks for playing. Try googling it and you might learn something
muisverriet
Well, what do you know, you're correct. I have genuinely never heard that word before.

I met eccleston yesterday. He was drinking in the pub i work in in the Lake District. He was really nice. Most famous person i ever met
fuckweaselry
i lub him

What pub do you work in?

dog and gun, if you know it. all the folks working on 'the a word' drink there most nights, except the famous ones

In Keswick?

you've heard of keswick? another cumbrian!? i didnt think they existed! crap, now i'm afraid i'm gonna get stalked and murdered
Pandajam
Don't worry I'm not a stalker haha but I am Cumbrian
Angusru
Lucky he is my favorite doctor
SnackusShackus
I remember seeing him on tv, that was my first NEW dr who experience. You can't take that "are you my mummy" experience away, ever.
FeartheMindKiller
Everytime I see Capaldi I think of Sid's dad
SendingThoughtsAndPrayers
"Particularly the writer - Russel T. Davies" so telling...
Pengarr
Wasn't it a falling out between the two that made Eccleston so angry he wouldn't come back for the 50th anniversary? That's even sadder now.
poopwindowofopportunity
http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/doctor-who/20897/christopher-eccleston-is-this-why-he-really-quit-doctor-who Here you go.
Pengarr
Thanks. I did find and link to that later and correct myself but it's buried under several comments I guess.
ohnocatnado
Isn't Capaldi now leaving for similar reasons?
StTriniansHeadBoy
① No, he left because of a couple of people, most specifically Keith Boak and Phil Collinson who bullied people on set. That & his dad died.
OtherRichard
Interesting, of always heard he didn't get along with producers I assumed it was Davies. Loved his doctor, sorry he hasn't come back.
Pengarr
Thanks. I did wid up finding the article about the "senior people." Sad that a show largely about radical compassion is headed by dickheads.
StTriniansHeadBoy
Boak wasn't asked back after shooting his first block, RTD cracked down on mistreatment for series 2, and Collinson left after series 4.
Pengarr
Thanks again. I tend to pay more attention to showrunners than directors on TV unless it's somebody like the Russos who really stand out.
StTriniansHeadBoy
② He didn't do the 50th because he said a provisional yes if he could see a script and then they didn't contact him again for months.
StTriniansHeadBoy
③ He felt he was being fucked around and couldn't keep his diary open for them forever, so he took on other work.
StTriniansHeadBoy
④ They did the same to Tennant, and he could only do it because he'd got the time booked off anyway as his wife was due to give birth.
AmishGangsta404
From what I heard, he only did one season because he didn't want to be "typecast" as the doctor.

I assume you also think your aged dog is enjoying the good life on a farm upstate.
tomsrhinoplasty
That's a pretty shitty pun
jimbodoomface
it isn't a shitty pun. i think it's a faecetious retort. this was a shitty pun.
Pengarr
Looked it up. He said he hated the culture that'd developed & didn't get along with the "senior people." Presumably whoever was over Davies?

BecomeAnAstronaut
Eccleston's doctor gets a bad rap sometimes. I think that's bull, he was one of the best actors to ever grace the role. Loved his portrayal
SeeShark
That's what production said after he left. He himself said he hated the culture on set.
LieutenantKifKroker
Telling of?
tyrsfavoritesword
He's considered one of the best writers.

Oh, yes. Much better than Moffat any day.

Moffat was good at writing individual episodes, not as good at running the show.

Dr. Who still sucked

DranksAndDragons
Moffat is great at real-life situations taken to ridiculous levels (Coupling) not so great at space-fantasy, imo
lostulsterman
Should be the next doctor.
Arcanum3000
That is not a picture of Amanda Tapping.
TedRob
But... He was the master, he can't...
ReverseTrapTsukasa
As the Doctor can "Choose" faces, he choose his current one to remind himself to fight and save lives
ReverseTrapTsukasa
The Doctor gave out a new name, Bazil. The English meaning of Bazil is: Royal; kingly. No wonder the Master is fixated on him.

I just started watching doctor who and only about two episodes in. It just seems a bit boring. Is there a reason to continue?
benadrylbumblebutt
i agree that the first few episodes seem a bit boring, but it gets so much better, trust me
blackbenetavo
When I'm trying to get people into Doctor Who, I tell them to start at S5E1. Only other season start with fresh Doctor, fresh companion. (1)
blackbenetavo
And 1st episode has a part that shows the face of every single previous Doctor. And 2nd episode has a great insight into Doctor's character.
HelloToe
Where are you starting from?
SeeShark
The first season is hard to get into. If you're not immediately into it, watch "The Girl in the Fireplace." That will make you want more.
jesusedgarhoover
You're thinking of season 27.
whyteraven74
If you're starting with Eccleston keep in mind they were bringing the show back after not being on air for ages. So it took a while to...
whyteraven74
get things going.
Squeewockle
Yoi'll get more engaged with Tennant years. But Empty Child and Dalek are good from the first one. If you want a hard hitter: Don't Blink.
sinbios
I actually watched the whole season with Eccleston but couldn't get through ep 2 of Tennant.
AdogeKitler
I started from the first episode. But thanks for the advices
OSCgal
Like, "An Unearthly Child"? Black-and-white? William Hartnell as the Doctor?
MaverickTama
Likely not as theres no streaming for the old series and the episodes available on amazon are spotty at best. The literally go from 1/2
MaverickTama
2/2 unearthly child to spearhead from space to axos its awful.
OSCgal
S/he could be borrowing from a friend? Public libraries carry stuff like that, too.
MaverickTama
Huh never thought of the library. Point taken
