No, it's Peter Capaldi that's the next doctor. who is he? i've not heard of him. and he's 55 years old. (ok I know about him, just never seen him before as I live in the USA anyway) I am not looking fwd to Matt going. Tennant was my fav dr and I'll always miss him. Is Clara going to be the new dr's companion too?

Sorry if my post was confusing. The quote I was referencing was when Tennant left and Smith started. I just meant that I assume that Moffat hasn't changed his writing style now with Capaldi starting. So it's up to Capaldi as to how 12 acts.

I wonder what 12's catchphrase will be? No more Geronimo!

"Geronimo!" was better than "Allons-y!", imo. I didn't even realize that "Fantastic!" was supposed to be the 9th Doctor's catchphrase until long after I had finished watching them...go figure.

Yeah I like "Geronimo!"
Isn't it Allons-y means 'let's go' and 10 left by saying 'I don't want to go'
And Geronimo means 'jump in' and the episode where 11 leaves is call 'the fall of the eleventh' or something. So he could fall/jump to his death/regeneration.
So whatever 12's is could be a warning of his downfall eventually.

I didn't know they had already named the Christmas special?

I had read it somewhere but I could be totally wrong which if so please ignore me while I crawl back into my cave under the Misty Mountains!

I remember it was part of prophecies, but I don't recall anyone having announced it yet. I'll have to check

Found this as a suggestion for 12's catchphrase (warning swears).
What show was he a swear-bag in?

**Posted by Michele** August 9, 2013 6:43 am

Also I found that quote I was talking about! YAY ME!!

“You’d be surprised how similar the Doctors are on paper. If you look at discarded scenes from previous eras, he’s kind of always the same, he’s just this very clever man. When he walks around with a different face and voice, it becomes different. When I wrote [Matt’s opening episode] The Eleventh Hour and I handed it in, everyone said it was exactly David. Then a few weeks later we cast Matt and everyone was complimenting me hugely – and I accepted the compliments – about how well I’d rewritten it for Matt. I hadn’t touched a word, they were just imagining Matt. The Doctor is the Doctor.” - Moffat.

Capaldi plays political spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in "In the Thick of It"...and he's very creative with his swearing (there are some hilarious clips of him, if you want to check it out).

Uh huh! I think you'd appreciate this:

*now picturing him getting used to being Twelve, letting out a few swears, Clara just standing there like '...umm..?'*

**Posted by Deilenn** August 9, 2013 6:45 pm

Oh poor Clara

I think I'll watch "The Thick of it", just to saw his acting skills (though, he's played in Torchwood already, I've seen the whole series but totally couldn't recall him there ;)

Funny video showing him as the Doctor (swearing warning):

wow thx for posting those bits.   I really hope they don't let Capaldi swear on doctor who.   I   don't care for it. Plus, the show is made for kids of all ages.

I don't know what the christmas special is gonna be titled, but I think that you lot here are thinking of something that was said by a character in the episode called   The wedding of river song----dorium the blue head says   "The Fields of Trenzalore. The Fall of the Eleventh. And the Question"

so the christmas special MIGHT be called   "The Fields of Trenzalone,"   because that is where the fall of the eleventh doctor happens.  The question of course, is, "Doctor WHO?"   and we STILL don't know the doctor's name!!!   That's right---THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR   episode didn't tell us.

**Posted by sj4iy** August 12, 2013 1:35 pm

"The Fields of Trenzalore" and "The Oldest Question in the Universe" were talking about "The Name of the Doctor". And unless the Doctor goes BACK to Trenzalor, he won't be there for the Christmas special because we know he leaves Trenzalore in the 50th Anniversary Special. Why? Because somehow, the TARDIS ends up being crane-lifted to the ground in Trafalgar Square where the Doctor meets with U.N.I.T.

They'll come up with something else for the fall of the Eleventh to end the Christmas special.

Also, Capaldi is an actor...he only curses when the script tells him to do so. He's already said that he's banished Malcolm Tucker in preparing for the part of the Doctor, and of course Moffat won't do anything to hurt the show's family-friendly image.

How did you get these pics? and how do we know he leaves Trenzalore in the 50th movie special?
spoilers, sweetie. don't tell me.

Well, it was pretty huge news when it happened...it's not everyday people see the TARDIS crane lifted at Trafalgar Square with a man hanging on underneath. I haven't gone looking for spoilers myself, but that was unavoidable because it was absolutely everywhere. I don't know how it fits in with Tennant or Hurt, but I would imagine they have to leave Trenzalore.
