The Doctor looks down sadly at the sleeping Bill and Nardole. He'd won. They lived, the Vaarga infection cured. He'd also lost, the exposure to radiation needed to cure them had killed him. "So be it," the Doctor said. His mind wandered, he thought he saw an elfin woman looking sadly at him, but she was gone, the room was empty. He thought he saw River, but she too a mere figment of his flickering neurons. There were others, a dark skinned woman with tattoos, a pair of squabbling artists, Sarah-Jane Smith .... "Well..... here we go again".
He watched as golden energy swirled off his hands. He could feel the regeneration energy spread across his body and the burning of thecradiation fading in fires far more restorative.
As the fires faded the Doctor looked down at his hands. Long fingers. Long legs too. The Doctor's hair ocascaded over her face. Bill moaned, starting to recover. The Doctor's mind raced, her thoughts still scattered by the regeneration. "Doctor?" Bill called out. "Yes?" The Doctor said, her voice rich and clear. "Who?" Bill asked. "Me. It's a long story. Well in fact, longer than usual".

I'm going to cast Adam West in the role. Would he be announced in true 1960s Batman style?

Richard Ayoade and I'd either regenerate Capaldi into him the cliffhanger of a two-parter or act three of a single episode. I'd be open to a woman too, but Ayoade's my choice out of the names I've seen batted around. Is that a surprise regeneration then, or would there be an announcement beforehand? I think Richard Ayoade would be ideal for the first black Doctor.

The Christmas eppy is filmed in Carnarvon House (a la Downton Abbey) so we don't have any leaks of footage. The story positions the audience as wondering which of the people in the house is the Doctor. Eventually, "Miss Marple" whips out her sonic and introduces herself properly.

Could you imagine the forums if they did that?

Well i already have a couple of ideas for the pre-credits bit. I know what the part one cliffhanger will be and the ending of the story would be huge. Setting up other stuff Oh and the Police Officer and one of the UNIT soldiers would become companions. Its just the Associate i havent pinned down, as thats why i asked awhile back what had happened to Adam after Nine and Rose dropped him home lol. but then again it could happen to a couple of people so lol It's certainly a tough one... Might actually be easier to create one from scratch and if you're having trouble making them sympathetic, you can always fill in the blanks with a friend or next of kin who survives them to talk with the Doctor. That's where the Police Officer comes in, i was gonna have her be Adam's Girlfriend and that's why she stumbles across it all. It's either that or make her Mum be the victim in the pre-credits sequence

I think Richard Ayoade would be ideal for the first black Doctor. I'd love to keep it secret until the episode but I wouldn't fight the BBC very hard in this case if they wanted to release the info early. Maybe it could be cool to have Chibnall write a scene with the new Doctor to tack onto the end of an episode, the way Damaged Goods has an Eighth Doctor cameo.

He does have a very Doctor-like quality about him.

A golden glow flows over the Doctor.
"Hmmm...well, THAT'S different. I may need a shave. And some designer clothes. Ah me, I'm great."

Ton Ellis channelling Lucifer. Wouldn't be my choice but fair enough. How would you announce him?

I've no idea if there's truth to it or not but she's great. On the thread about Ant and Dec when Timelord007 mentioned the dearth of good television in recent years, I cited Fleabag as one of the best shows of 2016 and she's not only the star but she wrote it all too. I'd recommend it to anyone - I haven't enjoyed a black comedy so much since Nighty Night which is high praise as that's one of my favourite shows ever. Even if she doesn't get the gig - watch Fleabag! Crashing, her other show as writer-star of 2016, wasn't as good but was solid. Damien Molony, who was linked last week to the Who job, is in that with her. She's going to be in the Han Solo picture which, if you watch Fleabag and her character, you'd struggle to believe so she'll get that genre cred, as though its a prerequisite, later in the year too.
