Doctor Poo

Doctor who has been a long time BBC (The UK's main TV station) hit. It ran for a total of 26 seasons, and one movie; but then it was canceled. 4 years ago they brought the show back for a new season/series. It is technically still Doctor Who, and it continues the same story and history of the old show. This time around its a little more... refined.

Well the new series started in 2005, with Christopher Ecelson playing the 9th doctor (the number continued from the old series, Chris being the newest). To keep the show running for so long BBC did a clever thing: they made it so every time the doctor 'died' he would regenerate, with a new face and personality. That way they can just change the actor and say it is another regeneration, but its still the doctor.

At the end of the first season Christopher Ecelson (Aka the 9th doctor) died and was replaced by his 10th reincarnation: David Tennant. David Tennant was by far the best person to have ever been the doctor. Without going into too much detail I'll sum him up: He's "fantastic" (ooh! reference!).

David Tennant's reign as the doctor lasted through 3 seasons, but alas it is coming to an end. According to him it is for several reasons: (1) he didn't want to be on the show too long, 'overstaying his role' (2) he wanted to move on after 3 years, (3) Russle T. Davis and the Producer are leaving. Which means that the fourth season is to be his last. He is still staying around for 4 (3 now, one aired at Christmas) more specials, but afterwards he shall be replaced.

So just who is the man replacing David Tennant as the 11th doctor? Well BBC kept it a huge secret until Saturday at 5:50pm (UK time) when a special Doctor Who Confidential aired. It showed who the next Doctor would be, the man that has to follow up the all-time greatest man ever (yes, I am possibly in love with David Tennant).

This bloke is the one replacing David Tennant for the 5th season of Doctor Who (which if I haven't mentioned is my favourite TV show):

Oh ya, that is him, that is the "bloke" playing the eleventh Doctor. To me he looks sinister, dark, and has a stupid haircut.

His full BBC interview about the roll:



I highly doubt I'll even watch the 5th season because of this jerkwad. I might watch the first episode, with the sure thought in my mind that this might be the last episode of Doctor Who that I watch. If I don't mind it (doubtful) I might watch another, with the same thought, and so on.
