Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

And the 11th Doctor is...

Posted: 01 Nov 2008 10:26 AM CDT

Already shortlisted, auditioned and cast - and I may well know who he is!

Oh yes, being a multimedia metrosexual kind of a guy, I've been hobknobbing and rubbing shoulders with all sorts of "in the know" types, and I can guarantee to you that the Eleventh Doctor Who will be played by an actor - or actress, natch - who has a superb ability to "learn lines".

That's right - in a piece of casting that is bound to blow the cobwebs out of the TARDIS and make Doctor Who fans have a right old discussion about it, I can now confirm that the new Doctor Who is...

...coming your way at some point in 2010.

But don't worry - we've plenty of David Tennant before then, who I understand is thrilled to be handing over to his successor, whose name I know.

So ner ner ne ner nerrrr.

I am not Neil Wilkes

News: Has the 11th Doctor Been Cast?

Posted: 01 Nov 2008 05:09 AM CDT

That's certainly the question being asked following the tactless statement by Digital Spy's Neil Wilkes in the recent interview with Russell ("don't call be Roberta") Tovey. Basically in a childish bit "I know something you don't know, ner ner ne ner nerrr", Wilkes - not known to be a relation to Robbie Williams' mate, but hey he's evidently stupid enough - stated: Now, I have it on veeeeery good authority that the next Doctor has already been chosen. It's an...

News: Tom Baker on BBC One 9pm!

Posted: 31 Oct 2008 09:58 AM CDT

That's right - the near legend that is Tom Baker appears as host on tonight's Have I Got News For You! The man himself has rather bizarrely been put in charge of Ian Hislop, Paul Merton, and guest panelists MP Vince Cable and comedian Chris Addison. There's plenty of likelihood of a good laugh at the very least, if not at Tom's much-expected appearance then at regulars Merton and Hislop. Personally, I can't wait - now stick the telly on!
