Who's the New Doctor? - The Graham Norton Show - BBC Two

[kingofireland91]

The weird thing is after David Tennant formally announced he would be leaving the show after the 2009 Specials, Nesbitt expressed interest towards the role, which could have been spurred on by the fact that only a year or so before he was one of the favourites to replace Tennant when the regeneration cliffhanger left people wondering.

[227060]

maybe not Jimmy Nesbitt, but defintly someday we should have an Irish Doctor

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

Steven Moffart should do a combined show with Nesbitt playing Jekyll/Hyde again then bring in Holmes and Watson as well to help the doctor save the day.

[227060]

@MikeMJPMUNCH win.Win. WIN

[DoctorAdamandDAWGfan]

James Nesbitt vs Matt Smith lol

[jetfighter82]

I would love for Jimmy Nesbitt to be the new Doctor. :D

[putolinefourstroke]

may be the 12th dr yes

[Setanta747]

My other post failed for some reason. Anyway, Tennant is a great doctor, is scheduled for five more episodes, and might do another series if a film role as the Doctor is thrown in.

Although Tennant would be a hard actor to follow, Nesbitt would be good I think. He's suggested he's not interested in the role, but it's a long time until 2010 (or 2011 if Tennant does another series +film).

[tardisgirlwho]

i hope he does do the film n keep doin more series simply bcause he's brillient n good lookin (XD)

[Setanta747]

Pegg would be good, though it might be all about comedy. Nesbitt might be more versatile. Not sure about Robert Carlyle - great actor, but he's very down-to-Earth, and maybe hasn't got any real 'alien' quality to him. Good to see McGann reprise his role as the Doctor in an upcoming episode. :)

Oh - Richard E Grant did do a stint as the Doctor, though it was only for Comic Relief or something. I always thought he should have had the (proper) part.

[kingofireland91]

@Setanta747 You've probs forgot about this video commented on, but Richard E Grant played The Doctor in Comic Relief as well as 'Scream of the Shalka' animation which helped spur on the revival, so really Richard E Grant was partly instrumental in the return of Doctor Who. Hurrah for Mr REG

[Buzz011]

we seem safe with tennant for the time being. Im pleased with that.

[tiredoldbag]

ME TOO!

[smexiigal15]

ha, neither of them could keep a straight face through that :D

i think jimmy is going to be the next dr

[masterofscotland]

Catherine Tate has made Docter Who worse. She can't be taken seriously.

[Shivatern]

I think because we have seen Catherine Tate in many comedy sketches that when we see her in doctor who were waiting for her funny moments and we do see alot of them in doctor who. What's amazing about Cathrine Tate is that she can play a serious character. I think she can be taking very seriously..

[tiredoldbag]

totally agree she was AMAZING!

[alias609]

i never really watch doctor who but i wanted to see it tonight!

I have a wee poll goin too just asking people what their fav country in the world is other than their own just to spread some positivity! Ye can vote for who you like (not ur own tho!) just reply to this comment or leave a comment on my page. Cheers!

[tiredoldbag]

Canada!

[1875HIBSFC]

I know who it is i saw the eisode 2 day he sucks the power from his hand the one that was cutt of at christmas and is himself again

[PF2007AD]

Apparently the viewing figures have gone way in recent episodes so some bright spark decided to spread some rumours that would create more interest in the show.

My sisters friends boyfriends cousin works in the canteen at the BBC and as they served up pink custard, thats what they heard Billy Piper say.

Might not be true though.

[WitchOnBroomstick123]

OMG is he seriously the 11th doctor?

[heiio66]

i thik it mite ne 9th doc

[halo3spartangod]

david tennant wont go coz he meets prof river song (from the libary episodes) in his future, her past

[1875HIBSFC]

Who was River song to the doctor? i didn't get it.

[ConverseAndMusic]

i think she was his wife!

she was definatly EXTREMELY close to him for him to tell her his name so either shes his wife or she was going to be

Maybe we'll see her in the future i hope so

[tiredoldbag]

Yep totally agree loved her! what a great personality! thought Rose was the best not so sure now!

[CirtceleJosh]

if u like metal music watch this

watch?v=nVLEq7Qd5bU

[jordaneff91]

David t is staying the doctor till 2010 and another xmas special so dont worry theres a twist to do with the hand in the jar when he forst regenerated in to david

[surething37]

I heard that David Tennant signed a contract or something till 2009.

FuckOff is James Nesbit beiing Dr Who.

Me and my friend saw him asleep on a train back from burmingham. He's the most famous person iv'e ever seen.

[Mthtmty]

I don't want a new Doctor! Oh well. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later.

[mike6230]

i dont want to lose david as the doctor but he had to rengenerate he was shot by a dalek

never mind

[Mthtmty]

I've seen it now. Poor Donna Noble.

[hogwarts09]

no its not because the doctors gets younger looking

[Tingawinga5]

hmm nesbit would b kinda good but i think simon pegg would b funnier maybe not better but definatly funnier

[JayMoo8]

you'd be gutted if youd put money on nesbitt and then watched this

[The8thDOCTOR]

James Nesbitt would be a fantastic 11th Doctor,

all the wit ,charisma  and warmth/ darkness but minus the good looks of the 10th :-)

[Tetrisrock]

I don't think he'd be a good Doctor but he'd make a bloody great villain for a future episode.

[227060]

@Tetrisrock he could be the new Master. hed just have to channel his work from Jekyll (which Steven Moffat wrote also)

[Dancinglemon]

my theory is that he will regenerate, but look the same for some reason or another. They put it at the end of the episode just to keep people waiting and to cast doubt around. Otherwise, why just not do it as they did when Eccleson changed? we saw the new doctor straight away then.

[tardiselliot]

well partially because many new fans wouldnt know what was happening

plus it wasnt going to return till christmas which is a very long time to wait.

this is a cliffhanger which is to be resloved todat as well all know

but i doubt tennant is leavin

[disneyguy556]

Thats a very interesting thought!

Unfortunately, i heard on the Television that David is only staying till 2009. ;(

[kjwkool07]

If david tennant does leave i will b devastated

[lestube001]

why ?

[jswTV08]

why not?

[K8y91]

I share your pain my friend =[

[whosaidthatpmsl]

from what i've seen, doctor who tend to twist storylines and trailors to make you think what they want you to think.. like in the trailor for 'doomsday' at the end of series two - you see rose say "and this is the story of how i died" when she doesn't actually die..

[TheThreeMuskatangs]

watch our videos whoop whoop

[madgriffinmad]

i go with the internal regeneration theory. judging on what i've seen on Dr Who in the past, when plotlines in the episodes of the series contribute towards a solution in the last couple of episodes. Ok, James is there with catherine, but that could just be them putting the cat amongst the pigeons, right? to keep people guessing. or at least, thats the hope. i like Nesbitt. he's a good actor but i find david has a niche as the doctor. others will imitate him in the future but they can't be him.

[ScareMeSexy71]

my theory is the dr regenerates as his 10th body but with a different personality...RTD says the dr is a new man...not a new body...does tennant get to be scottish again?

[Tetrisrock]

That'd be AWESOME.

[MysticOmegaShenron]

Well the theory is that the Regeneration energy goes to the Doctors hand and grows a new Tennat Doc (although that never happened when The Master regenerated and the hand was right there) who is human who goes of to live with Rose at the end....but like.....wouldent that STILL make a new Doc, just with a Tennant clone? Hm?

Or maybe its both. Maybe the 'Internal Regeneration thing is true

[ignoremeorelse123]

james nesbitt is a reali good actor and i reali loved the series jekyll he was in but he wouldn't be that good as the dr but then again i said that about david tennant when i heard he was the new doctor.

[petermcgra]

dont change i want the same 1!

[mikmmmm]

David is til doctor who til like 2010 cause he has signed the contract and they have filmed the 2008 christmas special with him as the doctor

[mcuss]

He aint geeky

[smeagolboy1357]

or maybe because the medusa cascade is one second out of synch his regeneration is out of synch and that must obstruct it enough to do the "internal regen" kasutei suggested

[shimz1]

ok you have no idea what a geeky answer that was

[Kasutei]

I've had a theory since last Saturdays episode! "Internal Regeneration" as in heal the heart that got shot & leave the face alone! XD The way they say things, it just about supports my theory. Will this centuries Doc' Who be brave enough to break the regeneration rules?

[Phil2o06]

I don't think this would of worked. The doctor doesn't seem to be able to control the regeneration energy.

[DWho42]

if you go onto david tennants website you can see the christmas special pics and you can see that david tennant is staying. besides, the dalek only hit the front of his chest.

[Rosetylermad111]

ack! i no he aint going but nesbitt :(

[megmo1571]

Yeah David Tennant isn't going anywhere yet, people, he's going to be the Doctor until 2010. But he will have a break in 2009 though.

[darksmeg]

Apparrently he is doing the odd epsidode, spread over the year....

about three..

[megmo1571]

Yeah. So no worries for now, everyone.

[dogpup4]

Catherine Tate, you liar!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I always thought Richard E. Grant would have made a good doctor, they must have thought at some point as they used him for the first flash animation series on their website, and also for the 80's Nelvana cartoon series that was canned.

[2x4b]

Thank you Russell T. Davies. You've officially killed the franchise.

[ScareMeSexy71]

what are you talking about? average of 8 million viewers every week...family entertainment but also very scarey, AWARDING winning series, great actors...not a ken dodd or bonnie langford in sight, this is the 2nd golden age

[2x4b]

I was talking about James Nesbitt being the new Doctor. David Tennant is brilliant and so is Doctor Who. But Nesbitt isn't really suited to Doctor Who.

[hannahisdabest100]

lol am glad its still david tennant hes like the best doctor

[MissRnR]

Have you got the rest of this episode please. I missed it the other night.

[hammerslittlehorror]

just go to bbc iplayer - it should be on there!

[webstersafc]

i hope hes the next dr after davids contract runs out in 2010!!!!!!!!!!!

james nesbitt

[SGIuk1980]

its good to know david isn't going any where... we love DT

[TheFinalTimelord]

The new Doctor is...

David Tennant!!

He stays the same :)
