Screw You Shakespeare and Your Stupid Company Too!

dr-who__opt

Okay, I can deal with the fact that David Tennant will not be Doctor Who for the next twenty years.

The Doctor as we know him will only be around for a couple of more years and may I suggest you love’em while you’ve got him, but chin up because Tennant is a great actor and I sincerely doubt this will be the last time we see him on the screen.

So all I can say is, unless the powers that be who will be casting the next Doctor find someone as hot as Tennant they’re in trouble and they know it…so I’m guessing they go geeky with the next Doctor- which has it’s charms.

But who do I blame for this Non-Hot Doctor Zone we are about to enter?

I blame William Shakespeare, that’s who, and if he were alive I’d stick a quill pen in his eye.

So there.

  1. How about another Scot while we’re at it…anyone for Robert Carlyle?
    Or we can just blow up Stratford Upon Avon…it’s little and old…no-one will notice…
