OK. Looks like the merge worked, but we need a ‘reorder merged results by post date’ option!
They should shoot two versions of each scene, with and without fucks.
Back when I was a teenager and watching Doctor Who my friends and I thought it was funny that with each regeneration the Doctor was getting progressively younger. My friend who saw The Caves of Androzani before I did told me Colin Baker was even younger than Peter Davison. Baker does have kind of a boyish face, so I can understand how he made that mistake.
I don’t want to knock Peter Davison–he was the Doctor who got me hooked on the show, after all, and I think he was marvelous–but even then I thought his casting was pandering to younger viewers. I was glad to see the Doctor get older. And that history seems to have repeated itself with Smith and Capaldi.
That youthful market of All Creatures Great and Small fans?
Things I learnt today - Davison and his wife composed and performed the theme tune to Button Moon.
The doctor Confronts one of his oldest enemies:
“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”
“FUCK OFF! You look like a heroin addicted fucking pedal bin that somone’s fucking stabbed with a shitty plunger! Go wheel yourself into the fucking corner and ponder how shitty your fucking life must be if you were defeated multiple times by a small set of stairs, you giant pineapple-tin cunt. I’m not having with you.”
Also, I’m already composing crossovers between this new Doctor and Mayor Emanuel. Maybe the Doctor can save him from the fucking Time Vortex.
Holy bejezus! It’s magic!
He was also in World War Z credited as… “W.H.O. Doctor”
He was great in Mighty Boosh, too. He doesn’t strike me as a Doctor, though. He’d be a great one off character, like the time that Mitchell and Webb showed up in that one crazy episode, what was it, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship?
I’m looking forward to seeing Craig Ferguson’s reaction to the news about his old bandmate.
Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it – how do you find the new community topics, since the Boing Boing topics link to discussions from the homepage. Not sure how to solve the conundrum, other than artificially giving community topics precedence on the BBS homepage. But not sure if that’d be enough, given the overwhelming firepower of a fully operational Boing Boing homepage…
@beschizza might have additional thoughts, perhaps they should be put here:
Where’s my fucking Viagra? I’m 958 years old! How do you expect me to bang my 23 year old companion without a little help?
I think until Smith, that Davison was the youngest Doctor. He was 27 when he got picked and 28 when his first series came out. I think Smith was 26 and 27. So, there was kind of this weird, first the Doctor got younger until Davison, then he got older, until Eccelstone, until he got to Smith and now he’s jumped to older… I think Capaldi is the same age Hartnell was when he started playing the role (55).
Also, here is an interesting theory about why they have picked the actors they have picked:
It’s just a theory, but interesting none the less…
