Anyway, I checked the BBC site for news but I still couldn’t find anything. I guess it’s just pure speculation on the media’s part.

I want this guy to be the Doctor. He's totally cute!! And we need a cute ginger Doctor. His past erformances may not be very Doctor-y, ut that doesn't mean that his uniqueness won't make for a good Doctor. Hell, our current Doctor was a Punk Rocker at one point in time (if I'm not mistaken).

Look, I know it's The Mirror, but I want this to happen so bad I can taste it.

He will flank Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor in this year’s festive outing, following the departure of Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts at the end of this series (despite rave reviews after her debut on Saturday).

In the plot, the 1st Doctor has to help the 12th play out his last mission in the TARDIS. The pair must work together to save home planet Gallifrey by moving it to another dimension.

Oh my word that would be incredible. Capaldi would have the time of his life doing that as his finale.

[KRWolfblade]

That would be awesome. The only problem is that I heard that Capaldi will regenerate at the end of the series and the next Doctor will feature properly in the Christmas special (similar to the 9th regenerating at the end of Series 1 then the 10th had his first full episode in the Christmas special). Unless that was a rumor as well.

But I really hope that happens. That would be awesome.

EDIT: So Capaldi has stated he will be in the Christmas special but the regeneration will start at the end of the series.

You know, it’s just occurred to me that Bill could be named for William Hartnell. Hartnell’s wife was called Heather.

Also, YES! I so want to see that Christmas special!

[AkibaSilver]

Meh, it'd be nice to see, but not something I especially interested in.
Although replacing Bill Hartnell with another actor for a team-up does have precedent

Am I the only one that noticed what Nardhole was using in last week episode was an Odoscope (the devices that doctors use to look inside your ears)? And it was whirring, so I guess it wasa Sonic Odoscope. XD

I was pretty nervous about this week when I learned that it was written by the guy that did "Forest of the Night" back in series 8, but this was actually a really good episode. Probably not an all-time classic, but it was very well done and had some really great stuff with Capaldi and Bill. I'm definitely continuing to love Bill, especially her entirely sensible questions that nobody has ever asked before, like why are the Tardis chairs nowhere near the controls.

It was the 4th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver.
