Talk:Eleventh Doctor/Archive 1


 * "It has been rumored that Alex Kingston will return as River Song and travel with the Eleventh Doctor." By who, exactly? Is there a cited source claiming this? I removed it until there is one. Golden Monkey 23:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Although there is now media coverage confirming that Kingston will appear in an upcoming episode, this information still doesn't belong in this article, at least not as yet. 23skidoo 17:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

TARDIS changes
"It has been rumoured that this incarnation will change the interior of the TARDIS and he may even fix the chameleon circuit."

What? Where is this from? I've removed this until someone can show a citation... and even then, it should likely be in the Series 5 section and not the Eleventh Doctor.

Beyond that, it's just ridiculous. The interior might well change. Wouldn't surprise me. The exterior might change slightly, but it will always be a blue police box. They're smarter than changing that.

MAY-BE the chameleon circuit gets fixed. For one or two episodes. Beyond that, I just don't see it happening - or being used much. --TheOmnius 17:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Good edit. Unless the BBC announces it, or it's confirmed by another reliable source like DWM, all such speculation is bogus and shouldn't be here. 23skidoo 04:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Jackson Lake
I just watched The Next Doctor and it's clear that Jackson thinks he's the Eleventh Doctor (even if the exact circumstances are muddy), as his "memory flashback" shows the Tenth Doctor "regenerating" into him. I think it's worth noting here. This will be a more minor part of the article once more detail about the true Eleventh Doctor is added over time. 23skidoo 04:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Rumours removed
The following section was added without any citations - it has been removed until then. The general and somewhat nonsensical nature of the rumors, combined with spelling and grammatical errors makes me think these rumors are not that reliable.

The following section was added without any citations. Some are also on the wrong page. Until this is corrected, these should remain off the page. Also.... there are some unique spelling choices.

Roumers

Billie Piper will appear again as the Doctor's main companion.

There will be an episode called The eleven Doctors, and the Ice warriors may return in an episode called Faces in the sand.

The regeneration between the tenth and eleventh Doctors is roumered to be violent and explosive like the previous two.

 * Good call removing them. I'm going to ask the webmaster to lock the article down to prevent non-registered users from adding rubbish. Also, any items regarding plotlines should not be here. That stuff is for the rumours section in the Series 5 article. This article should only contain information about the character. 23skidoo 02:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the image of the rumored Ice Warrior because I believe including it here violates the fair use image rules. 23skidoo 17:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

New Image
Shouldn't we change it to his kickass actual costume? ;) --Golden Monkey 11:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Seriously, you think it's a good costume? I'm sure I'll grow used to it but right now I don't like the look of it, personally! The youngest Doctor (actor), dressed like the oldest? Irony, sure, but not loving it :( I think some older mannerisms would be amusing, but tweed? Tweed is never promising, haha. Ponk 15:48, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I miss the old pic.Papayaking

Daleks??
"Clips from the filming of the series 5 Dalek story reveal that Matt Smith will, unlike Tennant, use his real accent. The clips also feature the Eleventh Doctor referencing Doomsday and Journey's End, ending speculation that he will be a younger version of the First Doctor, not the one following Ten."

There is no source to back this up, so i suggest deleting it at this time. Also, I'm worried that similar spoilers will be posted that havent been widely released. We need to put a cap on this. Taccer 07 21:17, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree. What fools thought he was a younger First Doctor when he's been called by everyone the Eleventh Doctor? That's as annoying as everyone thinking Rose, Donna, River Song, Lady Christina, Jenny and just about every female character in new Doctor Who is the flipping Rani! Sorry, rant over. *Ahem*. But yeah, don't include the Dah-Leks (the way Matt Smith (horribly) pronounces it) until the BBC have confirmed them appearing. Similarly, the meeting with Churchill. -- Will101 21:21, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Logo
I removed this section as this article is supposed to be about the character. There are other articles in which to discuss the logo. 23skidoo 18:08, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Rumoured castings
Unlike the David Tennant casting, which came so quickly there was no time for media speculation, we had months of UK media reporting rumours - often as "fact" - that certain actors were either in the running to be cast, or even officially cast. Paterson Joseph, of course, is the name most people remember. But I just noticed that Colin Salmon was reported by one publication as a contender, too. Obviously we'd have to restrict this to actual media, as opposed to newsgroups, fan blogs, etc., and should include sources for every name, but I think it would be interesting, and valuable, to add a "Behind the Scenes" listing of the actors reported as being in the running. On Wikipedia I collaborated on an article that kept track of the different actors being considered to play James Bond before Daniel Craig was cast, and it was a very interesting article. 23skidoo 13:27, December 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * It would perhaps be interesting as a sub-section of the behind the scenes section. Though lists can be somewhat lengthy affairs and might overshadow the article, especially one as short as this one. Or would this be a couple of paragraphs of text about not just the casting but the media hype it created and all those sorts of things? --Tangerineduel 13:44, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
