The Twelfth Doctor’s costume has officially been revealed!
Commenting on his costume, Peter Capaldi said: “He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.” While lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat added: “New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over – Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you!” [x]
What’s circular Gallifreyan for “This cosplay is going to be a cakewalk?”
To celebrate Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary, can this picture of the man that started it all get a million notes?
probably not
77 milion people watched it yesterday, what is 1 milion for us. Let’s do this.
It’s a testament to his work, and the show, that this has got so many notes so fast. I saw the post not a few hours ago, and it had about half the 22,000 or so it has now.
I’m the Doctor – the original, you might say.
Let’s also take a moment to celebrate Verity Lambert, the woman who produced Doctor Who.
And Waris Hussein, the first director
And Ron Grainer who wrote the theme music:
And Delia Derbyshire, who took that original melody and used ground breaking techniques to make it into the iconic DOOO WEEEEE OOOOO we all know and love:
It got better.
Let’s not forget Sydney Newman, who originally came up with the idea for Doctor Who.
I don’t really understand the question. I’m tempted to say something like, “No, the John Hurt War Doctor is just something that happened in THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR, THE NIGHT OF THE DOCTOR and THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR on television.”
We now know there was a regeneration between the Paul McGann Eighth Doctor and the Chris Ecclestone Ninth Doctor, one whom the Doctor himself has only just begun to regard as being The Doctor (as opposed to being something else).
If you mean, “Do we now all have to agree to renumber all the Doctors?”, I think the main purpose of numbering things is to communicate, and we all know who we mean when we say Doctors NIne, Ten or Eleven. If anyone corrects you and says “You mean TWELFTH!” when you say “Matt Smith was the eleventh Doctor” then that person is being irritatingly pedantic and should be pitied, in a nice way and with a gentle friendly, not-patronising sort of love, because they will have long hard lives ahead of them.
There’s a bit in one of the specials where Moffat makes it clear, though — the numbering is The Doctor, and except that one bit at the end, John Hurt’s incarnation does not think of himself as The Doctor. The Warrior is what a lot of other fans have been calling him. So the incarnations get renumbered — Capaldi is the last regeneration right now, but he’s still the Twelfth Doctor, because Hurt isn’t The Doctor.
