I was sold on Siddig as the Doctor in an audio where he played an alien that absorbed the Doctor's memories & personality and passed himself off to Nyssa as a new regeneration. Plus he's a good actor in general.
 
Vengeance of Morbius was the first DW audio drama I ever listened to so I could definitely Siddig as The Doctor after Capaldi. :up:

You know, for a guy who has Ra's Al Ghul as his avatar, you are such a dream killer.

I told my dream to a renown Doctor Who fan, one respected by many people, in many different fields. And I told him that I wanted to be Doctor Who, but that I'm American, and I asked if that was a problem...know what he said?

"Nope. I see no problem here."

Oh, and since I know you're going to ask. That "fan" is Grant Imahara. Doctor Who mega-fan (he was on the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special panel), and Mythbuster.

I can appreciate that you have a dream, but I don't think I want to hear about it in most of our conversations any more.

I don't see a problem with having a dream, but you're coming off a little too much like a lunatic fan that's taking the concept a bit far.

I have dreams too, but don't announce them every 5 minutes because if I really wanted to make them happen I would, rather than speaking about it on an internet forum.
 
I don't bring them up all the time. I mentioned it after the 50th anniversary special (that's where the idea came from, great movie) and had a conversation about it, and eventually posted the pic of me in my "Doctor" outfit. Then once after Time of the Doctor I think. I wouldn't have mentioned it here but there was that comment about who comes after Capaldi, and everyone was making guesses so I put my two bits in.

I'm not a lunatic....well at least not on this topic. And define taking it "too far". Lots of people want to be the Doctor. Boys, girls, men, women. All ages, all ethnicities, it's what Doctor Who is. The show inspires us to want to take up the screwdriver.

Yes, I have my outfit, and I have an idea for my screwdriver, I have my overarching storylines planned out, and I have a companion in mind for my journey, how is that different from any other fan, on any other show they love?

I'm sorry if I offended people by saying a dream of mine. But I don't regret having it or telling it. Not one second. If anyone else here wanted to be the Doctor, I'd support them. That's what fans should do.

EDIT: TheNextNolan22: If you were honestly trying to support me with that comment, I thank you. The emoticons were throwing me a little, that's why I ask.

EDIT2: TheNextNolan22: Just noticed what the emoticons were......yeah.....

I'd rather have Benedict Cumberbach as the Doctor first, before Richard Madden. Madden just doesn't seemed like a 'Doctor' to me, or maybe I can only see him as Robb Stark or something.

I can imagine him as the modern Jon Pertwee Doctor; steampunk-Victorian outfit, Indiana Jones-y adventures. It would be really ****ing awesome.

Sorry, I'm after Capaldi, I even have my wardrobe picked out. It's dark yet classy!

I respect you for having a dream but it is highly, highly unlikely that you're going to be the Thirteenth Doctor. Maybe sometime in the future but if you want it that badly then you have to start working and acting in Britain first. The fact that you're American is already a big mark against you but perhaps you can be the first American Doctor, who knows.

I think what it is mate is that you have done all that, you've come up with everything with the sonic screwdriver, story arcs and companions, most actors who want to play doctor who probably have a fair idea about all that but they're more excited about what the writers would do to them. The fact you've given so much detail does give off an air of an obsessive fan. I'm going to give you an extract from Andrew Cartmel's Script Doctor which may make you understand how you're coming off:

Meanwhile, the Scottish nutcase (not sylvester, a teenaged nutcase who'd badgered the office daily for months) had actually landed himself an audition. The great thing about John Nathan-Turner was that he had an open mind, and he was willing to give new talents a chance. Of course, this could backfire. This scottish nutcase came sweeping down the corridor past my office dressed in purple pantomime boots, purple breeches, purple velvet frock coat and three cornered hat with a long purple feather. One might have been inclined to admire his chutzpah, if one hadn't been acutely aware of his obsessive pestering and insistence that he was the new Doctor. Plus I believed his mother was waiting for him in reception.

He wasn't the new Doctor as it turned out.

Afterwards, explaining why he didn't just laugh in the guy's face, John said, 'he had me spooked'. He was a little scary. He left thick blue folders full of papers. The first age said 'Doctor Who - the Peter White era'. It was followed by seven seasons broken down into episodes with cast lists and storylines for all of them.

No need to apologise, you certainly haven't offended anyone.
It's just a little...different.

We're all fans of Doctor Who, heck I grew up on the original series and still remember as far back as Tom Baker in Robot. I've watched season 5 (new) about a million times, my kids (3 years and 1 and half years) love the theme song and chant "doctor who" when it plays because I keep playing it so often.

I'm a big fan of the show, but just don't go the extra mile of obsessing over a dream, ya know? Even if I would love to travel with Amy or Clara :P

Unless you're 10 years old then I'm guessing the "real world" should kind of tell you that dreams take dedication and hard work to achieve. Maybe it hasn't yet?

I mean no offence but this. Please don't think I'm being a *****e bag.
 
Ditto- I do not intend to be unduly harsh.

Speaking personally, however, I come here to talk/read about Doctor Who, not the fantasies of random American fanboy #2,035,879.

But I certainly don't bear any ill-will towards anybody.
 
Well in an effort to steer us mildly on track, current rumours (however BS they may be) are that: Jack the Ripper will be a villain in an episode (maybe the first? When are the Paternosters from?) New male companion (I think this was confirmed a while ago, anyway), The Doctor revisits Pompeii on volcano day and we see a familiar face, and the Master is the big villain with a new face.

Ah, they are going to revisit this it seems. A flashback to the meeting with 10. Not completely necessary explanationary episode but should be interesting. Will they 'explain' Karen Gillan's appearance or give it a miss - she was more or less covered up in costume.
 
Does anyone really need to explain why the Doctor sometimes looks just like somebody else? God knows nobody saw the need to explain why the Doctor looked just like Salamander or Commander Maxil. Sometimes people just look alike.
 
I think that was brushed on once in an episode. I know a few times the characters are linked via ancestry and just so happen to look exactly like their great-great-great-whoever.

And sometimes it is just a coincedence. Like in reality. Some people bear an uncanny resembalance to historical figures even if they have no familial connection.
