I thought it might have been you when i saw that cover, gave me tardy box vibes! So stoked your amazing skills are getting used officially, would love to see you on the Torchwood range at some point i think you would be fantastic at that best of luck for the future hopefully this is the first of many and Caroline Tankersley will become as synonymous to bf covers as Tom Webster et al. Truly, congrats

More power to people who enjoy it. I suppose I should give the guy another chance, but all I could tell from that appearance in whatever it was that he was supposed to be a future doc. (I think it was a Davison episode, perhaps one of Time Apart's. Someone here said - I think - that Dudman did the cameo and it was supposed to be 11).
EDIT: oh, it was Thin Time. Which reminds me. I think I didn't finish Madquake....
Whether or not that's me losing my mind, the idea of recasting a living actor/tress who might still join BF seems odd to me. I understand wanting to tell the stories, but... eh... (Also, hopefully the existence of a recast doesn't push any recast docs away for a bit. Smith, Capaldi, and in a couple years Whittaker, I'm looking at you. Eccleston jumped in and seems to be loving it. You're all on deck)

Yeah...listened to that bit again. He's sort of like Smith. Sort of. So, hey, if people like it, great. If he likes it, great. Perhaps one of those not-for-me things.
In comparison, Tarley was so spot-on my jaw dropped...

I’m still waiting until Capaldi is interested, and don’t give me “it will never happen” because what did we say about Christopher Eccleston? It makes me very sad to see people on this forum are giving up hope about BF getting Capaldi one day! I say never give up hope! Opinions can always change and for all we know Capaldi could be coming back to DW and is lying about not being interested because of an non disclosure agreement in order to keep it a surprise🤔 even if that isn’t the case, I bet BF just needs the right hook in order to get his interest!
Sidenote: That audio drama comment he made was taken out of context from the interview he gave, in context he was commenting specifically on the working conditions of BBC audio drama recording, not calling audio dramas dreary as a whole.

Has Peter Capaldi turn down big finish then? He is currently not interested in Doctor Who. & hates audio drama. Sorry I don’t listen to negativity. Why are you even posting on this thread if you hate 12 so much?

Um, they didn’t say anything remotely negative about the Twelfth Doctor? What they said, was a simple (if perhaps a tad exaggerated for what’s probably comical effect) truth. Capaldi isn’t interested in returning to Doctor Who at this time and doesn’t particularly enjoy audio drama. That’s not to say he’ll never do Big Finish, but it’s not exactly insulting for someone to repeat what Capaldi himself has said at this time.

Also I want to think positive about Peter coming back and I hate that people on the forum are loosing hope of Capaldi ever coming back. The comment Peter made about audio drama being dreary was taken wildly out of context, he was commenting specifically on the working conditions of bbc audio dramas not calling audio dramas as a whole dreary. For all we know Capaldi could be bluffing about DW because of a non disclosure agreement, and even if it’s not the case I don’t want to ever loose hope of Capaldi coming back people can always change their mind.

For all we know Capaldi could be bluffing about DW because of a non disclosure agreement, and even if it’s not the case I don’t want to ever loose hope of Capaldi coming back people can always change their mind. I think if you're seeing relentless negativity from one person..you may want to block them. Not ideal but better than ruining your time here. And yes, I saw Peter's interview, the quotes HAVE been used out of context. He was talking about not particularly enjoying the recording process, not that he doesn't like the end product in general. Yet from Nick Briggs' own mouth we've heard him say Capaldi would talk to him about the Daleks, the monster voices, share childhood memories...but didn't bring up BF and it would have been unprofessional of Nick to do so as he's in a separate job at that point, employed by the Beeb not BF so we don't really know Peter's thoughts on the company. We do know he was uncomfortable with his Doctor being monetised with merch that lower income fans and kids wouldn't be able to afford - that's why he asked for cheap looking sonic shades and a hoodie for S9, after discovering fans were spending hundreds to dress in his S8 attire. Would he want fans to have to pay as much for 3 audio stories as for a whole season on DVD, or free with their licence fee? He is an old punk socialist after all. As for thinking positive things, well, that's your coping mechanism but you have to accept you aren't the only 12th Doctor fan (he's my favourite for one) and others among us prefer the "hope for the best...but prepare for the worst" to avoid disappointment. Of course he can change his mind but if he doesn't want to do it for completely different reasons from Matt or from Tom and Chris before they did change their mind, it doesn't necessarily follow he will too. Sad truth but a realistic one. So by all means, welcome back - but please whenever the subject comes up don't get upset over it. Ultimately ALL our opinions are spit in the rain. Peter (and Matt, and Jodie) either will...or they won't. There's little we can do but try and enjoy what we do get. We don't want this to be, as it was before, a never ending "he will, he won't" back and forth on multiple threads, nor the same with the "is so and so a romantic realtionship?". It ultimately always ends up full circle and I know the mods had complaints the debates were on multiple threads at once. It's good to put your thoughts out there but people know where you stand now. When I, and a good few of us started with BF, we had no McGann, no Masters, no Mel, no Tegan, no Adric, no Tom, no Tennant, no....you get the idea. But the stories were there and some Doctors who maybe were not favourites suddenly were. Maybe it's a golden chance for you to get to know other BF stories and ranges and find some other faves. You can never have too many favourite stories.

Sorry I think I overreacted because it’s tied to my dream of desperately wanting to write for Peter as 12 at BF and I also just don’t want people to give up hope of him coming back. I never mean to derail conversations with endless debates 😢 I just like talking talking about Peter coming back and 12 and Clara and if I mentioned them as an aside sometimes on another thread I never mean for them to spiral into anything. I’m sorry. I don’t want to feel like I can’t ever talk about the people and character relationships I love without it annoying people 😢 I never mean to bother anyone 😔

Passion is great. And of course you can talk about it. But anytime anyone posts anything saying they don't think Peter will be back, based on the above, we don't need the same debates (not against you, all of us!) - we may as well copy and paste the things we've all said ad nauseum. There's so much I'd love to see and hear...but I've still got plenty in "the backlog" to keep me going. Ultimately, we're all on the side of wanting EVERY Doctor to sign up to BF. Even the people who don't like certain incarnations - well, sales will help fund things they do like. But hey, we waited 12 years for Tom, 16 years for Chris. Patience is, indeed, a virtue. Besides - I'm sure you've got Peter's album to look forward to!

I never mean to derail conversations with endless debates 😢 I just like talking talking about Peter coming back and 12 and Clara and if I mentioned them as an aside sometimes on another thread I never mean for them to spiral into anything. I’m sorry. I don’t want to feel like I can’t ever talk about the people and character relationships I love without it annoying people 😢 I never mean to bother anyone 😔 I know. Maybe we can get you let off with a plea of extenuating circumstances? lol. Seriously, I thought you'd done a pretty good job keeping your enthusiasm to your creative threads and What's Made Your Day (or Not), but there have been some unusual occasions for discussion like Capaldi's comments that turned up in other threads and also the 12th Doctor Chronicles here. I imagine some already stale comments in this thread might have tried to be a bit of a slap in the face for someone very passionate about the 12th Doctor who was just seeing them. What would DU be though if you weren't infamously crazy about 12 and Clara and Tim weren't infamously crazy about Nyssa and the rest of us weren't just infamously crazy? :-) I don't want to say... "dour"... but I hope we're all adults here who know a lot about the history of the franchise and the audio plays, and no matter how well intended the offer of a healthy dose of realism might be, I think it's probably all more about hopes and dreams and daydreams that being realistic in the first place. I remember when Paul Darrow passed, rest his soul, and people were being "realistic" about the future of B7 and it seemed like some people thought it was the end of the range because it had lost its stars. All I could do was just ignore the "realism" and keep hoping - and I wasn't disappointed, btw. I think I could only keep dreaming even in spite of having realistic expectations, especially if one were so passionate about something that might be so integrated with their creative inspiration. If that's what fires your dreams as a writer, just keep that flame of hope lit please! Er... um... (looks around )... maybe in another thread, of course
