Haha, anyone who even claims that Moffat is ruining the show has clearly not looked at the ratings of the show nor the amount of people worldwide who are tuning in to watch the show. It's bigger than it has ever been, and it just keeps getting more popular. Whatever Moffat is doing "wrong" is certainly getting more viewers and good ratings, and I love the show from his perspective, so I hope he continues "ruining" the show because I'm sure as heck enjoying it.

The hype and popularity surrounding the 50th anniversary episode is what convinced me to watch the show, and the strength of the episode is what kept me watching, so yeah, I'm all for him continuing to ruin it too!

Thing is though, you ask anyone if they like Moffat they'll say no. Then ask the same people what their favourite Who episodes from series 1 are and they're probably answer; The Empty Child/Doctor Dances. Series 3; Blink. Etc, purely because of how they're written... *sigh*

Since I've only just finished Series 3 I can't really say anything about Moffat, but the episodes he's written in S1-3 were all amazing.

I never noticed how hunched-over Matt Smith's posture is until I saw the 50th special. Weird, right?

Surely it won't be long before Doctor Who fans start posting on twitter how they love " Soft Top Hard Shoulder " just coz Capaldi is in it.

" omg Soft Top Hard Shoulder so funnyyyyyyy capaldi can u not omg "

I didn't understand any part of that post.

I've started to see more of the anti-Moffat complainers lately, picking apart everything just because they're supposed to, yet ignoring how ridiculous the RTD era was for some reason.

I've seen a few people bitching about Moffat trying to one up everyone else by inventing the war doctor just so he could be the one to deal with the regeneration limit, and making the battle on Trenzalore last 900 years (according to some official book or something) so his doctor could be way older and better than the previous doctors. Or some shit like that.

" Soft Top, hard Shoulder " is a British film starring Peter Capaldi.

Oh, that makes much more sense!

Sorry, I've never heard of it, and I had a serious mental block figuring out what it was referring to. I've never actually seen or heard of anything else with Capaldi in it, barring the one previous episode of Who that he was in.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3090 on:** January 19, 2014, 04:09:58 AM »

Well it's quite old now - he's a lot younger in it. That was my first experience of Capaldi. I've not actually seen any " The Thick Of It. " but I should do because the writer Armando Iannucci is one of my favourite writers and comedians.

Iannucci is pretty much the king of satirical comedy in the UK - having been a part of Chris Morris' "The Day Today" " Brass Eye" " I'm Alan Partridge" etc.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #3091 on:** January 19, 2014, 04:23:18 AM »

What I've seen of The Thick Of It - just clips, really, looks incredible, and I would love to watch it.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3092 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:42:22 PM »

Actually i'm lying because I saw Local Hero way before Soft Top, Hard Shoulder. I always forget he's in it.

It was one of my Dad's favourite films when I was tiny. Partly due to Mark Knopfler writing the score.

the thick of it is hilarious!!! I watched it last year and was just wondering if Scots are always so angry?

the movie from it is on Netflix. It's called In the Loop. Has James Gandolfini in it. Good stuff!

GuineaPig · « **Reply #3094 on:** January 20, 2014, 05:53:50 AM »

The Thick of It might be the best work of political satire ever. It's utterly phenomenal.

Heretic · « **Reply #3095 on:** January 26, 2014, 02:59:15 PM »

Was listening to Series 7's soundtrack on Spotify, and "Infinite Potential" made me have to go and rewatch Matt Smith's regeneration. Ugh, I love it so much.

Rumours are that Capaldi's costume reveal is today or definitely this week . Excited!

For reals? Is there some specific event or place to watch out? I wasn't expecting his outfit to be revealed until the new episodes air.

(noob Who fan here, so this is my first time with a new Doc)

They wouldn't be able to film any outdoor scenes if they wanted to do that. No, they need to reveal it officially so that it doesn't get revealed by fans taking photos.

Makes sense. I'd much prefer an official reveal, to see it on their terms in good quality, rather than have people scrutinizing based on some blurry camera phone photos. And then when the episode airs, there's still the fun of seeing how he ends up with his outfit.

So what are people thinking/hoping his outfit will be this time? I could see him doing a vest, and an old timey fob watch, and a long coat or something. Something like a 1920s professor or scientist.

jonny108 · « **Reply #3101 on:** January 27, 2014, 06:25:42 AM »

I saw this crop up somewhere and thought it would be perfect for Pete.

abydos · « **Reply #3102 on:** January 27, 2014, 06:27:03 AM »

It's too shiny. I'd love to be able to not see stuff like that until the episode, so far in my Dr Who experience I've always seen the doctor and the outfit at the time they regenerated.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3103 on:** January 27, 2014, 06:39:32 AM »

Yeah, that's too shiny and fancy. I also think it looks too close to a normal suit like Tennant (even though I know it's different). He needs something distinctly unique to his Doctor.

jonny108 · « **Reply #3104 on:** January 27, 2014, 06:51:42 AM »

Ah yeah I suppose it does look a bit Tennantish haha, he used to wear blue every now and then too. I wouldn't mind seeing something with a bit of colour, definitely not as colourful as Colin Baker though. Maybe even white. I dunno, never been a fashion expert. Still, never been this excited to see some clothes before

El JoNNo · « **Reply #3105 on:** January 27, 2014, 11:07:24 AM »

The only right answer is this.

I'm in the air about that. Only because the Doctor has always had something quirky, this is just style. While in the end I'll be fine with. I always liked that each one had his own thing; well 9 maybe not so much... I guess his leather jacket? lol

abydos · « **Reply #3108 on:** January 27, 2014, 12:17:18 PM »

I don't think it suits him. His face seems to demand something else.

Mister Gold · « **Reply #3109 on:** January 27, 2014, 02:50:31 PM »

I dig it. It's a bit of a combo of 1, 3 and 9. Sharp looking, but simple and to the point. Nice.

masterthes · « **Reply #3110 on:** January 27, 2014, 05:57:52 PM »

So, do you think he's going to keep the green sonic and are we going to see him add the "red setting"?

Eh, I'm thinking he'll get a new Sonic, personally. It's time for a new model, imo. I have a feeling it might resemble the War Doctor's Sonic, actually. The show's been heading into a retro style lately, so it wouldn't surprise me if that influences the look of the new Sonic.

Also there seems to be a rumor going around that Charles Dance (aka Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones) might be appearing as the Master this season. Dunno how accurate that is, but it'd be epic as hell to see Capaldi and Dance go at it as the Doctor and the Master.

masterthes · « **Reply #3112 on:** January 27, 2014, 08:57:34 PM »

Dance would make an excellent Master

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3113 on:** January 27, 2014, 11:55:22 PM »

I like it.

It's not *too* far from what I was expecting, although I was thinking more brown/black colours rather than the dark blue, but I like it. Maybe it's not quite as distinctive as I was expecting, but I think it will suit him once we see him in action.

Onno · « **Reply #3114 on:** January 28, 2014, 05:04:43 AM »

WHAT. Charles Dance as the Master would be EPIC!
