It's just that i've seen him in quite a few things and

i just don't think he is a good actor so have no

interest in watching him in anything.

Well as i said this is my opinion.

In terms of there being a mistake in my thinking

regarding him being cheaper.

I read that one of the reasons he was hired was

because he was alot cheaper so it's not my actual

thinking.Of course it might not be true as we

certainly can't believe all that we read that's for

sure.I'm afraid looking the part is important aswell

i mean look at all the nonsense Daniel Craig

is having to put up with from Bond fans who don't

think he is right for the part simply because he's not

their idea of what Bond should look like.

 

My problem with David is mainly that i think he is

simply a poor actor and no he is not in my opinion

right for the role of Dr Who.

 

I think we will just have to disagree on this.

Lots of people think he is a good actor and disagree

with me but i simply can't see it and i have watched

him in a few roles.

 

In terms of awards as i said before they carry very

little weight with me because some of the finest

actors and strongest performances have not won

accolades.Awards are simply other people's opinions.

There are alot of internal politics that go on

regarding awards allocations.

 

As i said some people think that Hugh Grant is a good

actor i think his acting is simply awful.

 

Similarily with Kenau Reeves i also think that despite

flashy films like the Matrix his acting is dreadful.

I'm sure alot of others with think he's a fantastic

actor it's just a matter of people having different

opinions.

Hi Peter

 

I think there are alot of things that make a good

actors chief amongst then being what you said you

believed made a good actor eg the total believability

factor.

For me David dosen't have that but for you he quite

clearly does.

For me there are different levels there are good

actors

great actors,average actors,poor actors etc etc

I always find it fascinating how people can have such

differing views on the same thing.

Oh I see, so you don't trust my judgement? :-(

 

I mean, I can understand your distrust of VV - after all, you are having an affair with his wife.

well i haven't felt that about most of the others.

I have no problems changing doctors.

I simply don't get attached in a way that die hard

fans do.

I liked Christopher Ecclestone but was more than happy

to find out who the new Dr Who would be.

I haven't felt David was good in any of the roles i

have seen him in.

Not being a die hard Dr Who fan i'm not precious about

the role just would like to see it played by someone i

think can act.

I agree, I myself was guilty when Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker left, although I must admit that the series with Sylvester Mcoy were absolutely pants, and the final nail in the coffin of the long run of Dr Who.

Yes i understand that Peter well as i think that David

has been poor in the previous roles i've seen him in

and is in geneeral (in my view at least) a poor

actor generally i'm not going to think he would be

good in this role which in my view requires statue

and presence or most other roles.

If you believe an actor is not very good at his job

your not going to suddenly change your mind

( well you might but i've seen him in enough things

to have formed that view and it's unlikely to

change)

I think there was a definite effort to kill the series when Sylvester McCoy took over - his first series was plagued with bad scripts, and even worse direction.... but with the exception of one story, I thought his last two series were some of the best they ever did. Unfortunately so many people gave up after his first series, it was just too late..

Ooooh ooooh - must disagree in part. The first series of Sylvester McCoy had some very bad episodes and some bad episodes. I don't remember how many series he did but the last series was really good - the Curse of Fenric, Silver Nemesis and others I can't remember the names of (Peter will remember). They were among the best of any Dr Who.

Hi Peter

 

Thanks. I quite liked Delta and the Bannermen and most of the second series were good - third series was very good.

Hi Jo

 

>Thanks. I quite liked Delta and the Bannermen and most of the second series were good - third series was very good.

 

I thought the basic plot of Delta was good, but it was somewhat ruined by Ken Dodd and the main bloke in it whose name escapes me right now. The rest of it was very good though...

Hi Peter

 

I think I've got the wrong episode then - I was thinking of the one with Hugh Lloyd in - the one where the girl made a strange noise to defeat the enemy - what was that one?

I've seen David Tennant in only one programme before Dr Who. In

Quatermass he played a totally different sort of person - in fact you

would hardly know he was the same actor. I always think that means

the person is a good actor, not just a celebrity.

Hi Linda

Now there I have to disagree, because after seeing him in two or three roles, I thought that Alan Rickman was the worst actor ever - until he appeared in Harry Potter. I'm glad I didn't give up on that without seeing it just because they cast an actor I thought I didn't like :-)

That's the same one - bits of it were good, but bits of it were also terrible!
