I'm rewatching the David Tenant and Catherine Tate episodes.

Donna Noble really is the best companion by a country mile, isn't she?

I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but I was also pro-Tate, the fanz seemed to HATE her at the time, didn't they? I guess following Billie was tough.

I think Billie is probably mine, but I'm not pitting successful women against each other. I really loved Billie, Tate, Freema and Clara (I realise that's a mix of forenames, surnames and character names)
 
As it happens I started (and am now finishing) a montage of Donna best bits

I forgot her using her HR powers to solve problems :disco:

Also just the clips of Turn Left make me remember what a SERVE it was
 
It's funny watching Turn Left now, it really is like a prototype version of Years and Years. RTD talks in his book about how those ideas were rattling around in his head for a long time and how he'd like to write a full series like that... which of course he eventually did :D

Yeah I wondered that too, I never saw years & years but I get the gist
 
Let's get some needless speculation going about the companion. Following on from the Dark Season revival stuff mentioned the other day, what if it's KATE WINSLET?! :shock:
 
I have a feeling it'll be someone young and up-and-coming, but Ncuti being in that category himself could mean that they'll go for a bigger name...

Twitter (nearly RIP)-speculation is that it's Mimi Keene based seemingly solely on the Diamond being RED and her Sex Education character being called Ruby. I'd dig if it is!
 

I've not seen her in anything, but she's certainly very pretty. Only eighteen as well :o
 
Possessing just one facial expression is rarely a good sign but we'll see...
 
I probably said it before but I REALLY hope he keeps his real accent for the role.

Well, I think it would be very annoying for TWO Scottish Doctors to be Anglicised. There was really no need for Tennant to change his accent. What purpose did it serve?
 
I'm actually not sure where the decision came from! It was very similar to the voice Tennant used in Casanova which was just beforehand (and also written by RTD), so I wonder if they wanted to just stick with it for whatever reason. I do also wonder if there was concern about it looking a bit like a 'tour of the regions', having a Scottish Doctor straight after one who was very unapologetically Mancunian.
 
Some good information about the upcoming series in this article:
BASICALLY:
  • The three Tennant/Tate specials in November 23
  • Christmas 2023 special with Ncuti Gatwa
  • Eight-episode series and a Christmas special in 2024
  • Hints that a shorter series is facilitating bigger stuff to come later (possibly spinoffs?)
  • The Ncuti shot in the trailer used a false background, as the final version of the shot would've given away something big
 
This is honestly all so exciting for me! It feels like it's a really great time to be a fan again :D
 
Mmm I’m not feeling it, is this Doctor Who or GQ?

We aren’t wearing ties with question marks on them anymore I guess
 
I wouldn't go for the orange top personally, but I'd totally wear the rest of it. I've not been this into Doctor Who as a style icon since the days of Sylvester McCoy.

Oh wow, it looks fantastic - NPH is clearly having a great time playing whatever that faggy villain is :disco:

Also
Miriam Margolyes as Beep the Meep :D
 
There's been quite a lot of filming recently! I've been trying not to look at too much about it, but there was some sort of giant slug on the streets of Cardiff the other week :shock:
