No complaints whatsoever.

Works for me! About time a man from another world takes on a body that's other than Caucasian. and you know what? In many ways, the Brits--who probably have fewer name people of color than we do--can ironically do Black actors with more respect and complexity than Americans can. I think of TV shows and movies on the likes of cable and such, and I can recall more Black men treated with respect in British shows than in American ones--at least, in lead roles.

Re: [scifinoir2] First Black Doctor Who - Its Official
Depends on your definition of respect... British television is high on content and drama. Reality, depth of character are important to a trully progressive art form, so it is natural to embrace people of color. I think this is a function of the trend and narrative; not some kind of perceived affirmative action. c w m the leader of the free world...and the .25 cent one On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 10:22 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Works for me!

Re: [scifinoir2] First Black Doctor Who - Its Official
It's not official until the Beeb declares it. Regardless...I saw a clip of him in Neverwhere. He's got the right eyes for the role and enough of the Tenth Doctor in him to pull it off. I've seen the other candidates...meh. Frankly, I'd rather have Tennant back. If he'd come back after the specials and say Just kidding, I'd gladly forgive him and take him back on the show. ~ Where love and magic meet ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Take a bite out of Blood and Mint Chocolates: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/bamc.html Experience the magic of Blood of the Dark Moon: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/botdm.html On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM, tdemorsella [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK now that it is official, what do you guys think?

Re: [scifinoir2] First Black Doctor Who - Its Official
I'm dying to confirm this on my site as well, but I agree, with no BBC confirmation, I'm leaving this as rumor status. If I were to bet, I'd say they'll confirm it around Christmas. BBC would also want to get Survivors on BBC America to really test him with audiences. Tennant is so far my favorite, too.

Re: [scifinoir2] First Black Doctor Who - Its Official
More than one site is declaring it as fact, but I don't know where they're getting their facts from. A leaked video of an interview with someone appearing to slip and stating him as the potential Doctor (after almost saying he was) caused a LOT of these rumors to occur. But we don't know if he slipped due to Oops, I let loose the truth or Oops, I let loose the rumor I had heard. It's rather difficult to make out what happened, and we won't know until the Beeb speaks up. I miss Tennant already. :( ~ Where love and magic meet ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Take a bite out of Blood and Mint Chocolates: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/bamc.html Experience the magic of Blood of the Dark Moon: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/botdm.html On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM, Daryle Lockhart [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: I'm dying to confirm this on my site as well, but I agree, with no BBC confirmation, I'm leaving this as rumor status.
