Just to say...

jadesfire...I have seen the Doctor Who casting news, despite my current internet patchiness (writing lists then shopping for them takes a loooong time ;)) Since some of you may be/wish to remain unspoiled, I've chosen a neutral icon and will keep all reactions under a cut. I only have a few so far anyway.
My first thought? I'm going to be older than Doctor Who. This is a weird, weird thought. I'm disappointed that Paterson Joseph lost out, and hope that Matt Smith can make himself sufficiently different from Tennant to really be Eleven. He'll get the same chance as Ten as far as I'm concerned, and while I doubt I'll love him as much as I still love Nine, he might grow on me yet.
He will still be younger than me though! This remains weird.

Date: 2009-01-06 10:26 am (UTC)Paterson Joseph would indeed have brought something very different to the role, like you say though, he may not have wanted it; many people want to be in doctor who but not be the doctor...too much responsibility lol. But also, it looks like they wanted to go for a relatively unknown. oh well...maybe for 12 lol.
The TARDIS full of a team of companions would be great though, wouldn't it? The fic bunnies would run rampant (providing they got the right ones)
