The Dr. Who Files

Spoiler Alert. If you haven’t seen the Christmas Special yet, and don’t want to know what happened, read about the first Doctor Who Series “An Unearthly Child”, but don’t read the rest of this post.

Well, we recently watched the Doctor Who 2008 Christmas Special, and I was right. I wrote before about the The Next Doctor being the 11th Doctor Who. If you read that, you’ll see that I said that I don’t think that this special will show us the next Doctor Who.

I was right.

Sorry for sounding arrogant, but I was. I don’t want to go into detail, but the ‘Doctor’ was a human who lost his memory and had the Doctor’s memories implanted in his head; he thought he was the Doctor.

The current Doctor thought that David Morrissey’s character was a future incarnation, but soon learned the truth.

So with an old screwdriver instead on a sonic screwdriver, a hot air balloon instead of a TARDIS (although he did call the balloon the TARDIS, an acronym for “Tethered Aerial Release Developed In Style”), and a companion that wouldn’t do what he told her, Jackson Lake become what he thought the Doctor was.

Was anyone hoping that David Morrissey would become the 11th Doctor? I thought he did a good job, and was sort of a good intentioned, but a bit daft, Doctor.

I am looking forward to the next Doctor. I like David Tennant a lot, but I can move on. I am thinking someone completely different. Maybe Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear as The Doctor? I think that would be cool.

UPDATE:

Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor Who. This was just announced today on Doctor Who Confidential.
