Peter Capaldi.
What does everyone make of him. I must say I'm quite disappointed. Not sure if it's because he is following Matt Smith, who was great, but he just seems a bit boring. I expected so much better from him.
What do you think?

Who? However, he certainly can be the equal of Professor Proton.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I'm looking forward to next weeks episode, so they must be doing something right.

Yes the story writers haven't changed, I'm talking about the actor playing the Doctor.
|
|
|
|
|
I personally find it difficult to separate the story writers and producers from the Doctor. Its a team effort isn't it?
|
|
|
|
|
When the story-writers, producers are the same and the doctor changes then you can rate the actors against each other.
|
|
|
|
|
To an extent you are correct, but the production team write material to suit the current Doctor and what they feel the audience wants, so if it does go wrong its not just the actor playing the Doctor to blame.
I really don't like the Sonic Shades thing, who's idea was that... the whole idea reflects negatively on the actor playing the part even if it wasn't his idea.

Totally agree, it's cringe-worthy.

I dunno... It really worked for the Skaro episodes... I got a smile out of that little twist... But yeah, hope they aren't a permanent fixture (I'm one episode behind), because it's just not Doctor Who without the screwdriver.

Apparently so, he was wearing them in a lot of the photos from filming that have come out in the lead up to broadcast.

Hrmm... Well... I'll give it a chance, but I think the gimmick will get old fast.

The problem is, I think, that glasses are glasses, they sit on your nose in front of your face.
The screwdriver you could hold out at arms length, it was threatening, it had clear direction, you could persuade an adversary it was something else, it flew through the air well, it was obvious when it was doing something, and it made a cool noise.
Glasses just sit on your face.

Agreed.
But you have to admit that the shades made his guitar solo just that extra bit more hilarious... And in hindsight, added quite a bit of awesomeness 
So I wouldn't mind if they kept the shades around as a backup gimmick... But they really need to bring the screwdriver back.

Perhaps he could swap his glasses for Clara.

In view of the fact that the relationship is to be kept as type Father-Daughter that is just wrong on so many levels.

We had better keep the spoilers to a minimum then. I hope the screwdriver returns too, or at least the shades disappear, perhaps during the current two part "Under the Lake "story. (I have my ideas)

I have no idea. I stopped watching it when I grew up.

Don't let DD hear you say that! He gets most defensive when I remind him it's a kiddie show... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
