:D

I want that coat.

New teaser reveals a returning villain, won't say who for the spoiler sensitive amongst you.

Assuming it actually is who it sounds like.

Much speculation as to whether it is who everyone thinks it is... not the same actor as before... and the voice changes too... maybe two voices? or a new character? What mystery: the teaser has done its job well.

Very excited for new series. Capaldi sounds quite Baker-ish in the previous teaser. The way he attacks 'be my PAL' with the punchy plosives and elongated vowels. And yes, it seems some alterations to the Tardis interior have been made. Still the same console, but I think there'll be a few tweaks, different lighting etc.

Frank Cotrell Boyce's just announced episode 10 has 'a cast of child actors'. Do they mean exclusively? Some kind of bizarro episode where the Doctor and Clara et al are turned into kids? This could be horribly gimmicky, but I've liked other stuff FCB has done, so will reserve judgement. And once in a while these high concept episodes work - Buffy's Once More With Feeling etc.

I'm going with Occam's Razor on this one.

it's pretty obvious who it is

What's this rumour I may have heard about leaked scripts? Real or hoax? Pretty big deal if real, I'd think.

It was being reported with a straight face on a couple of basically reputable sites this afternoon.

"10:00:00 EXT. SKY - DAY
A beautiful blue sky - no clue where this is.
A huge, thunderous impact, earth-shaking - and now, swaying into view the head of a T..."

Hmmm.

Nevermind. I'm vv tempted to read on but I'll wait.

any word on the London World Tour event (day, what will they do)? I'll be in London then.

also I am not above reading leaked scripts, but can't find them.

THE HEAD OF A WHAT? I can't think of any Who races beginning with a T!

...ARDIS?

Wait, was there some kind of lumpy-headed thing called a Tyranoid? Or did I make that up?

No, I'm thinking of the Draconians.

"10:00:00 EXT. SKY - DAY
A beautiful blue sky - no clue where this is.
A huge, thunderous impact, earth-shaking - and now, swaying into view the head of a T..."

T-Rex? Dinosaur extinction meteorite day?

I mean, fuck knows if this even is a leaked script or whatever, just joining in with the wild conjecture.

PS guess what the top Google hit is for

"doctor who" oogly

Transylvanian? Terry Wogan lookalike?

That was an xpost

I'm not telling - but someone guessed correctly.

Transylvanian? Terry Wogan lookalike?

I'm sure the internet has some Rocky Horror/Who mashup fan fiction, but Eurovision too? It's possible...

Oooooh. And I was right.

I've still not seen Lair of the White Worm, but I was looking at some pics from it and OH MY GOD HE'S NOT OOGLY:

whoops didn't see a post in some other thread. my miss.

can't believe that a joke hundreds of ppl made on the internet the week Capaldi's casting was announced would have been on the thread about Capaldi's casting being announced

John FROBISHER lol!

xp: can't believe this is not that thread

torn between apologising for being a dick and demanding that hl address my amazing Frobisher zing :-/

I'll admit that I am new to Doctor Who both irl and on ilx and I am way out of my depth with your Frobisher zing.

all is blamelessly forgiven as long as you stfu and gtfo forever, n00b

aw, fandom

oh man, i just found out about an event that i will be definitely going to that is whorelated and tho' i am embargoed i am pretty hype

What does -lated mean?

I was going to make that joke but didn't.

i guess that's where "whovian" came from

Good news:

Who'd want to flirt with oogly face anyway.

me :)

I was glad to hear Vastra, Jenny & Strax will appear again in the first season 8 ep, IMO been they've the best thing about the last couple of seasons. Isn't it time to give them their own spinoff already? (Or maybe they only work as supporting characters?)

Looks like Capaldi is going to stay for a while from what I've seen headlined on facebook. Looked like he might be leaving with Moffat for a while.
Still wish there was a full season before 2017 instead of just a special.

I dunno I don't begrudge them a chance to recharge every few years. Keeps things fresh I think.

glad capaldi's not leaving, because after moffat's gone i feel like he's gonna have a lot of heavy lifting to do...
