It is perhaps impolitic to admit this, but as much as I love Mr. Fry's acting talent, I am entirely enthralled with his writing ability. Given the choice, I'd rather see an episode written by him than starring him (both would be a gracious bounty, hardly to be dared dream of).

David Tennant as the Doctor... spectacular!

*G* Both WOULD be great!

I wonder if we're getting the new Doctor here in the US or not... are you in the US or Britain or elsewhere?

That would be so damn cool. Not gonna happen, but I can dream. :)

Perfect photo, too, eh? *G*

Given the Doctor's current practice of snogging other men, that would be beyond cool. Although, as derien says, one may simply dream...

*L*! Is that what's been happening on the new show???

[peak-in-darien.livejournal.com]

We're not up to that episode in Australia as we're a couple behind, but I've seen pics of a lovely slashy kiss with the Doctor involved. Heehee.

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! *L*!

[derien.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm so envyous of people who are getting to watch the show!

Unfortunately, in the show where he got kissed he also regenerated, and you know how that goes for people who change their looks a lot - Time Lords and Trills can't seem to keep relationships with the more stable-in-appearance beings going.

*nods* Yes... one of those well-known sayings... *G*

But - they switched actors already? Or was this the first show?

[derien.livejournal.com]

I think this was episode twelve with Christopher Eccleston, but I have to guess from the ep guide here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

[peak-in-darien.livejournal.com]

Yep, they've switched to Tennant after the end of the series, apparently.

Grah, I wish they'd keep up the slash!

Hey... so where did that pic of Hugh with his finger on his mouth come from (in your icon)?

[doomynic.livejournal.com]

if he was the doctor i'd watch, to see him, also if he writes one... but i'm really not a fan at all :/

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Haven't really watched it in the last few incarnations... but it really allows an actor to have a field day with his character, which is why I'd love to see Fry in it. *G*
