DOCTOR WHO-OOOOO, THE TARDIS

Apparently, the BBC will be announcing the new Doctor this Sunday. To be honest, I'm not that fussed: the British churn out so many excellent actors that you could throw a ping pong ball into any green room in the country and hit half a dozen candidates who would do an excellent job of playing a character whose main job qualifications these days appear to be "must be able to wear silly jacket, run while shouting, and express sorrow for stuff"; and secondly, Doctor Who's been little better than average for the last few years and just simply isn't as exciting, innovative, and satisfying as it used to be.

Also: get off my lawn you bloody kids!

So, while talk of Peter Capaldi and Russel Tovey and that bloke from Dirk Gently and will it be a woman and please god anybody but Dawn French yadda yadda is all well and good, I'm going to admit something-- there's a part of me that really hopes they announce that they've decided to go back and do Colin Baker properly.

That would be worth a laugh.
