You can see why I ask though, right? It was a very epic finale. Not to mention all of his companions went their separate ways. Some forcibly I might add.

Double post. Sorry.

Just found out that the man that played Mr. Weasely in Harry Potter also played Rory's father (Brian) in Doctor Who. Interesting, I thought his face looked familiar.

Also, Olaf Petersen on Red Dwarf.

Quite liked the premiere. Bill is really likable and I'm genuinely surprised by how much I'm enjoying Nardole (it helps that he's only in a few scenes). Capaldi is, of course, still fantastic. A couple spoiler-y things of note:

So that guy on Twitter who claimed to have inside knowledge said that Susan is coming back this season. I still see no reason to assume he isn't lying, but it's pretty interesting that we're suddenly seeing a prominent photo of Susan on the Doctor's desk.

Looks like "the Vault" is this season's big mystery thing. Hopefully it's fairly unobtrusive and not crammed down our throats every week like that Impossible Girl stuff with Clara.

Holy fuck, Movellans. And they still look ridiculous.

Still his iconic role for me.

I enjoyed it. Mackie plays off Capaldi well, and Bill is a genunely fun character to watch. Nardole wasn't bad too, even if he was obviously written in in the final draft. Also, surprise Susan...

Anyway, how about a guess for what's in the vault. The best idea I've heard so far is season two of Class. :D

A lot of online news sources are claiming that Kris Marshall has been cast as the 13th Doctor, although the BBC is denying it.

If it true that he is no 13 aka 14 due to war then doctor will finally be ginger and that joke can finally die

Yeah, I also posted about that in the “How is everyone today?” thread. I didn’t see any articles or confirmation by the BBC at the time, just by the general media.

Yeah I hope that's just rumours. I like Kris Marshall but can't see him as the Doctor at all.

My only exposure to him in Love Actually, which is... not the most Doctor-y performance.
