    The thing that sucks about something like that is that you pretty much have to have none of/one of the series already, and that's it. Look at Dexter: they're coming out with the big box set on blu-ray after the series ends, and I've seen people who have all of the seasons thus far who are still going to spend $300 on the big collectible set. It always seems like what you have, something better will be released down the line.

    With a series you know will end, pick the set up when it's over. That's why I would always do. With something like Doctor Who, there is no harm in collecting them one at a time as it will go on for, well, forever.

    The read through took place today for the Christmas Special, otherwise known as Matt Smith's final episode.

    Production begins on Monday and yes, Matt will wear a wig. If it's good enough for McGann...

    What's happened to his hair and is that a scar on his head?

    He shaved it off for a film, How To Catch A Monster and though it was growing back, it wasn't enough I take it, so off it came again. Yes, that's a scar that Matt got as a child. It's only noticeable when he has short hair. Just one reason that quiff looks so much better.

    I don't know if it's ever been mentioned already but chances of a shot at the next Bond I wonder?

    Matt's already said no to that, when asked but would love to be a villain.

    Easy saying no until you're actually asked. There aren't many actors out there who would pass up the opportunity.

    I'd say no chance. Great chap and actor to boot though, just not Bond. He'd come across more geeky than Q!

    It's just not him and I don't think he'd even do a screentest for it. You can't be both The Doctor and James Bond.

    Why not? You can be Han Solo and Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan or Daredevil and Batman (with a little George Reeves thrown in for good measure).

    By the way I agree about Smith, I don't think he's right for Bond either. I was just posing a question.

    Being roles with a constant turnover just rules the possibility out to me. Two British icons and to be both would seem wrong in my eyes. It may one day happen but I doubt it.

    A more interesting question to me would be how would Peter Capaldi do as James Bond.

    Better still. Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker as James Bond ;-)

    Oh, and on that note:

    The 50th Anniversary special will be titled, The Day of the Doctor and will be 75 minutes long.

    Thanks @Samuel001. I just hope the quality of the script is better than anything from the last series.

    The Cybermen are to return this Christmas. Some sites have taken this to mean that the Cybermen will be the reason for the Doctor's regeneration.

    The last series seems to have gotten lots of slack and I'm not sure why. I thought it was much better than series 6, which made me lose interest in the show altogether for a bit.

    I didn't find the stories captivating in the slightest. I'm looking forward to seeing a new direction when Capaldi takes over.

    Leaked Synopsis:
    The Doctor and Clara are still trapped within the Doctor's timeline. The only way to escape is to reopen the lock that conceals the Doctor’s darkest day. The Time War.

    So, it carries on from the last episode, to be continued indeed.

    No doubt a three-parter along with the Christmas episode. That's my thinking anyway.
