    Peter Capaldi. What does everyone make of him. I must say I'm quite disappointed. Not sure if it's because he is following Matt Smith, who was great, but he just seems a bit boring. I expected so much better from him. What do you think?

        Yes the story writers haven't changed, I'm talking about the actor playing the Doctor.

              I prefer him to Matt Smith. The Doctor has to be judged, I think, with his assistant. Capaldi works well with Jenna Coleman, but she didn't go at all well with Matt Smith. Smith and Karen Gillan went together well, but I think the Confidential programs ruined my enjoyment of them a bit as they were both so irritating as themselves, particularly her.

                      See, I wasn't a big fan of Matt Smith and people suggested that it was because he followed David Tennant. In all honesty, I didn't start trying to watch until the end of Smith's tenure so that wasn't it. I just didn't like his acting. On the other hand I really enjoy watching Capaldi, he seems less fan-girl fiction fodder and less emotional.

                        Well yes, Michelle Gomez is wonderful and hasn't been on TV anywhere near enough since Green Wing.

                          I personally find it difficult to separate the story writers and producers from the Doctor. Its a team effort isn't it?

                            When the story-writers, producers are the same and the doctor changes then you can rate the actors against each other.

                              To an extent you are correct, but the production team write material to suit the current Doctor and what they feel the audience wants, so if it does go wrong its not just the actor playing the Doctor to blame. I really don't like the Sonic Shades thing, who's idea was that... the whole idea reflects negatively on the actor playing the part even if it wasn't his idea.

                                        We had better keep the spoilers to a minimum then. :) I hope the screwdriver returns too, or at least the shades disappear, perhaps during the current two part "Under the Lake "story. (I have my ideas)

                                          Don't let DD hear you say that! He gets most defensive when I remind him it's a kiddie show... :laugh:

                                          Only people with no imagination automatically think "sci-fi" == "for children". :rolleyes:
