There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Yeah - I get from the overall tone of his leaving, that he would have stayed, but 'higher up' it was decided it was time for a change. The ratings were headed downward, new blood, younger actor, etc. He was a bit muted and circumspect in his choice of words, which fuelled the usual 'chatter'. Some believe he was the first since Colin to to have had the decision made for him. For myself, I don't know the truth, and don't go for 'theories' but he has been reserved himself since departing. Anyhow - he was/is one of the best in my books  That’s horrible if he was pushed out! Peter deserves far better from higher ups😔 but I hope he has a very long BF run one day!🤞 I thought it was partly medical: he and Matt Smith had both ruined their knees in exactly the same way because of the rigours of production. |

I thought Peter recovered from that injury in between series 9 and 10 though? I am sure they could have worked around it, by simply having him do less running🤔 |

Same here. He was a brilliant, and at times quite a subtle Doctor. Another series with him would have been great. I know at the time Steven Moffat left, there was talk of Capaldi staying on, but I'm not sure that was ever really on the cards.

Anyhow - he was/is one of the best in my books Yeah I heard that he basically was low key let go but if it was due to low ratings then it’s extremely ironic as the ratings for the last two years have been worse than when Peter was in the role Guess That’s karma |

Jodies scene with all her previous incarnations within the matrix Including the Morbius Docs in that sequence was a great touch - if you're going to hint at previous Doctors, you'd better acknowledge it's been done before! |

Jodie kneeling before the Master having to succumb to calling him ‘Master’ then realising he has no control. it takes Jodies gentleness to offset the psycho that is “did you move?” Sacha. What am realising about Jodie is there are none of the previous three Doctors over acting-exaggerating acting.She has grown on me a lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eOei55fiig |

This is the first time I hear that Peter was softly booted out. I cannot believe that was the case at all, and I also cannot believe that the ratings played a part in it. I was under the impression that is was a) medical, with his legs b) mental due to the stress of the insane schedule c) he was friends with Moffat and when Moffat went, he also decided to go. After all, these are the people we are talking about: onsizzle.com/i/ingrid-oliver-ingridoliver100-the-moment-peter-steven-and-mark-found-17506962But whatever the case, we might never know or we might get the whole story in 10 years time. I agree however with 2 things- I also think Peter was the best NuWho Doctor so far (it took me 3 episodes to understand his accent, but after that, I was in) and of course he should come to BF sooner rather than later.  |

Again it’s a Jodie moment-slow understated and genuine- As she sees the destruction of Gallifrey -no overacted “look at me am genuinely shocked depressed and angry all at the same time over reactions” just pure “real’ I always trace back to Tennant much as I love him in the role his “i’m sorry or I am so sorry” never really felt genuine to me 😎 she opens that door and genuinely conveys she is seeing something tragic and shocking www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWpgNtZ8j_A |

HIs accent is tame-see me when am drunk lol Well, I have much improved. Series 8 and 9 was when I basically started to become serious about Who, and shortly after, I discovered that little company by the name of Big Finish. Now I am pretty good at some standard British accents.
Before that, I could handle movie American, I could understand my Kiwi environment (which I think is a feat. It took me weeks after arrival to understand these people but then I became quite fluent myself) and I could handle non-drunk Aussies.

You don’t have to have a wildly complicated arc to make a fantastic companion or a totally dramatic ending to become one of the best loved companions- proof positive www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRzNUNESH04 |

I always thought way way way back when the episode first aired that the machine and Morbius brain had overloaded and those were past incarnations of Morbius-I mean his brain did get fried slightly would have been far easier explaining it that way 😂 |
