I am sure that the BBC will get it right, they have too much riding on ths show
Maybe so, but I don't think I will enjoy season 2 as much without CE in it.

Jaycee Dove kindly posted some of RTD's interview with the Manchester Evening News about plans for the next series on the June 4 thread. Thought I'd pop a link to the online interview in here for anyone who's missed that. Obviously there is a chance of some spoilers, so caveat viewer RTD interview here

I think in the next series I'd like to see less of the soap opera Dr Whollyoaks stuff and a bit more action. Like to see it work the dark side of the doc up a bit more, keep the humour, give the doc a kick-ass assisstant, oh and cybermen, lots and lots of cybermen....

So you're voting for Jackie Chan as assistant?

Seriously though, I know I keep saying it, but Rose has been wonderful, and when she does leave, will be a very tough act to follow (as will CE himself).

going back through the years i have liked most of the doctors , my favourites were Jon Pertwee , Tom Baker , Sylvester Mcoy ...the only one i didnt really like was Colin Baker , just irritated me a bit . Therefore we should give DT a chance before the knives come out .

I think a lot of newcomers to DW have never been through a regeneration before so are quite nervous - plus DT is not household name in the way CE was before the show started. I have posted my (rather high) opinion of DT on DW threads ad nauseum, but I think he'll have a difficult first few episodes whilst people get used to him, then it'll be fine!

I share your high opinion of Mr. DT - and if any newcomers to the programme are anxious about his possible performance, all I can say is that in the classic series, when Patrick Troughton took over from WH, he was amazing, superb, FANTASTIC!

So fear not, gentle reader

Current series has been excellent, great credit for which to CE & BP. Having seen CE in many other things I was expecting much of the same but his comic talents have been exemplary. Billie too has quashed any preconceptions.
Never seen DT in anything and hopefully won't so as not to predjudice my viewing of the next series.
As for the previous throught he medium of video and memory I can recall lots about their predecessors and found all had identifiable quirks about them which were unique and watchable (Except for Paul McCann). The role seemed to always make the actor rather than the other way around so if this continues to be the case there should be no need to fear a drop in standards.

As for next series I would like to see updated pieces from the previous history being brought in, particularly with some former one off adverseries (Zygons for example) but with emphasis of regenerating their impact into the current feel of things.
More non Earth stories would be good too.
Not sure about Cap'n Jack but will reserve judgment.
If Billie does go then Jennifer Ellison would be my pick as a replacement- failing that then how about the glorious Jackie Tyler

Jennifer Ellison isn't as bad as a lot of people on here are making out - I remember seeing her on Hells Kitchen the first time round (she won) and she came over as a very intelligent likeable girl, definitely not just a bimbo.

I'm not saying that she is my main choice to replace BP and its prob all just tabloid rumour but I don't think she would be anywhere near as awful as most of you lot seem to think.

I wasn't too sure about Jackie early on, but after her appearance in AOL my opinion of her rose considerably. Even if she doesn't get picked as the new assistant, I'd still like to see more of her in series two.
