Guest guest Report post Posted April 16, 2006 Hi Peter I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think it was the strongest story line ever, but David Tennant is a wonderful Doctor, and as you say, Billie Piper was acting incredibly well... and it certainly compared favourably to most of the first new series, and a whole load of old Dr Who :-) BB Peter - peter hurd Sunday, April 16, 2006 6:25 PM Re: New Dr Who Well, come on then everyone in the UK, what did you think of the first episode?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Linda Since you gave up on the series before seeing the new Doctor, I find it odd that you know that he's no good in the role. In fact, the reason he was chosen was because he is one of the " hottest " properties in acting at the moment, and because he is a huge Dr Who fan. While obviously you are entitled to your opinion, the entertainment world has given him just about every acting award going! And as to non-film actors not being " on the same level " , I think Laurence Olivier might have had something to say about that!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Peter Thanks for that. I always welcolme different views. I have watched David in previous roles and come to my decision about his acting ability through those. Everyone will have different views about the acting ability of certain actors/actresses. For instance i have no time for Hugh Grant or Clive Owen as i do not believe that they are very good actors but i'm sure that there will be many that disagree. In terms of Laurence Olivier this was a man that featured in film,television and the stage he is quite a different story all together he conquered all mediums. Awards means very little to me some of the best actors and finest performances have never won awards or been honoured.There is alot of internal politics in such things. Simply put i have no time for this man as an actor other actors i think are marvelous people feel likewise we will just have to agree to disagree. It is not a question of who is right and who is wrong we just have different views. --- Peter Kebbell <metalscarab wrote: > Hi Linda > > Since you gave up on the series before seeing the > new Doctor, I find it odd > that you know that he's no good in the role. > > In fact, the reason he was chosen was because he is > one of the " hottest " > properties in acting at the moment, and because he > is a huge Dr Who fan. > While obviously you are entitled to your opinion, > the entertainment world > has given him just about every acting award going! > > And as to non-film actors not being " on the same > level " , I think Laurence > Olivier might have had something to say about that! > > BB > Peter > > > On 18/04/06, linda galvin <ljgukuk wrote: > > > > > > Well i just don't like anything about him. > > I think he's an awful actor so it starts from > there > > and i just don't like anything else about him > > the way he looks,talks nothing. > > It dosen't help that i liked Christopher > Ecclestone > > alot but i heard ( and i do not know if that was > > true)that they chiefly choose David because > > he was so much cheaper than some of the other > actors > > they wanted who like Christopher Ecclestone are > actors > > on the world stage and command huge fees. > > David is largely a television actor so is not on > the > > same level. > > As i say i'm sure he's a lovely man but personally > > i have no time for him and do not feel he should > be > > playing a role like Dr Who. > > This is of course just my personal opinion and i > know > > others like him alot. > > I suspose it's like food we just don't all like > the > > same thing. > > > > --- heartwerk <jo.heartwork wrote: > > > > > That's a shame.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Linda I suppose it depends on what you classify as " good " when it comes to acting. Olivier is generally considered to be one of the best stage actors of all time, but the only film I've ever seen him in he was completely unbelievable as the character he was meant to be playing - he completely hammed it up. I've seen David Tennant in 4 things - Harry Potter, 1 episode of Casanova, Quatermass and now Dr Who - in all of them he's played a completely different character, and he was completely believable in all of them: at no time did I think that he was " acting " - he just was the character he played, which to me is what makes a good actor. I have no idea who Clive Owen is, but I agree with you about Hugh Grant. As a matter of interest - in general, what do you think makes a good actor?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 I think he is a good actor. I'm not fussed about the way he looks - he's acting Dr Who not a pin-up. I think there is a mistake in your thinking that David Tennant was cheaper than anyone else. Christopher Ecclestone was more expensive than most - that is why he was hired to do one series only. David Tennant is an experienced stage actor who has won many awards, and has also been a hit on the tv recently. He will not be one of the cheapest actors available and willing to play Dr Who. He is a longstanding Dr Who fan, and has done a lot of the audio stories, so he will already understand the characater, and know what to bring to it. Unfortunately Christopher Ecclestone was not a particular fan of Dr Who, and good as he was, I think it showed a little.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Although Laurence Olivier may have 'conquered all mediums' I found his screen acting to be fairly abysmal.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Linda, Olivier always seems to me to be a luvies , luvie, so to speak, his reptutation preceded him by a mile. A trooper. Hugh Grant seems to have one style a super fop, and a bloody annoying one at that, I wouldnt hire him to act his age! Clive Owen? well I only saw him in Sin City, and he was bloody good in that, but then I`m biased as one of the few people on here who liked that powerful film.
