OMG if ONLY!! I love Richar Ayoade, he's incredibly charismatic and a wonderful actor. He got me hooked on the IT crowd from the very first episode. :)

I know! He MAKES that show! He's brilliant as Moss!
Honestly, I'd put his name down for almost any popular part because I think that he's one of the most overlooked British actror/comedians (Simon Pegg is now a household name and a recognisable face abroad - why not Richard?) and I think he needs more recognition.
I never really liked Tennant - he was tolerable, but far too annoying for me - and his act is starting to get tired (not that I've seen much Who since the end of S3, where I was utterly horrified by the cheesiness of the end of season episode). I don't understand why so many people find him so attractive, either. I'm clearly not on the right wavelength at all for that Doctor. :) Eccleston was my Doctor. ♥
I'll give this new guy a shot, especially if Moffat is going to have more control over the new series since he kicks ass. There's something Ralph Fiennes-like about Matt Smith's face which is a good enough reason for me to give him a chance, but I would have preferred someone a little older, I think. I just don't know who!
I LOVE Stephen Moffat. He's written by far some fo the best episodes of Doctor Who (I didn't watch any of series 3 because Martha Jones got on my nerves, but I watched 'Blink' yesterday and it was brilliant). I actually knew him from Coupling (one of the cleverest, most overlooked, sitcoms ever written) before Doctor Who. He's brilliant at writing episodes that explore relationships more than just special effects - his epidoes have some of the biggest character developments. He's just such a clever writer - I'm very glad that he's taken over
( ... )
It's weird because I thought I would hate Tennant at first, nobody could replace my lovely Ecclestion, but then I grew fond of him. I can't decide now, I love them both...and it's the same with Rose, Martha and Donna. I liked Rose from the start and then though I would hate Martha but grew to love her too and the same with Donna. *lol*
I don't know, I guess I love the show too much to have any criticism left. :D
I didn't know Moffat had written Coupling, now I have to check that out too.
You know, I used to laugh at Doctor Who, until I actually sat down to watch an episode (I'd occasionally flick on, but it was always at the stupid SFX bits so i'd just laugh!). Ironically, the first episode I ever sat down to watch in its entirety was "Love and Monsters" which has hardly of The Doctor in it. Now I really love the show and am cross at myself for not noticing it earlier.
I'd definitely recommend Coupling. It's not for everyone. I guess people have compared it to Friends, being that there's six of them, but it's much more 15s and sexed up and far less pg13 (and American). But in a good way. It's terribly witty (sometimes too witty - you can find yourself missing things the first time round) and has some truly hilarious moments.
