I feel I have to add to this thread. I think that Cassady was the happiest person I have EVER seen at any convention. She actively engaged with everyone. Her photoshoot on Sunday was so much fun. I went to get my photo signed afterwards and as I got to her table we were having a lovely chat, and at that moment that brilliant cosplayer dressed as Chewbacca wandered by, and she completely lost it, saying that she needed to go hug him. Go for it I said, and I took photos of her while she did, which she insisted I airdropped to her after. After all this madness, she duly signed my photo, and took a couple of dozen selfies and hugs and I was on my way. Around the end of the day I saw her going back to her table, and I thanked her for coming and told her I’d tweeted about her and Chewbacca earlier. Queue another round of hugs. That evening she liked my tweet as well. Showmasters, please have her back as often as possible. https://mobile.twitter.com/iankingart/status/1234084401237184512

Miriam would have been phenomenal! There have been rumours for a few years that Helen Mirren had been approached, but had always turned it down, although she was approached in 2009 for The Waters of Mars, back when the original plan had been to have a Russian scientist take the companion role, which eventually went to Lindsay Duncan. Dawn French had actually been considered twice, once when Colin Baker left (alongside Frances de la Tour and Joanna Lumley) and then again for the reboot. If we're looking for an older actress, the ones that come to mind for me are Emma Thompson, Tilda Swinton, or, my personal choice, Noma Dumezweni

She was adorable. I was queuing nearby and she was standing in front of her desk so she could hug everyone hello and goodbye (some I'm pretty sure got hugs in between the encounter as well). So happy and enthusiastic, bless her. I hope she got to sit down at some point and wasn't too tired after that weekend.

Are you set in our time period

Hopefully i can add jodie, Mendip and Bradley too eventually

This is possibly my favourite guest encounter I've ever heard! Although I've never been a die-hard Walking Dead fan, I may have to meet Cassidy if she comes back! She sounds so nice!

I think I'd prefer an older woman to play the next Doctor, someone with an air of authority but still with that soft side, someone like Dawn French or Miriam Margoyles comes to my mind. Hayley Atwell would be awesome though.

He’s cool! And gorgeous

I really, really wanted to like this episode. It had all the ingredients to make it a classic, The Doctor vs The Master! The Cyberman hunting down the companions! Gallifrey! Time Lords! A hitherto unknown plot twist a la The War Doctor! And then...we got that. A total disregard for canon and all that has come before, with so many plot holes created. Why did the Doctor need more regenerations in The Time of the Doctor? Why, if the Master says he remembers The Doctor choosing the name The Doctor before he ran away (which we knew was Hartnell's first incarnation) does pre-Hartnell Jo Martin call herself The Doctor? So many questions! The positives, although there were no many, were worth the rest of it. Sacha Dhawan (who, for anyone undecided about meeting him this summer, is the lovelies man around) makes a perfect Master. He's got the unpredictably of Missy, with the flair of Delgado and Simm. My personal head cannon is that he's pre-Missy, post-Saxon, and he strikes a perfect balance between the two of them. Bradley Walsh is, as ever, wonderful as Graham. He's proven he's more than capable of holding his own when it comes to drama, and if today's rumour proves true, he'll be sorely missed. Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill were good, but underused, as seems par for the course now. Jo Martin really was a wonder, and I hope we see her again, even if she didn't turn out to be number 14, which I had hoped. I do wonder how much longer Chibnall has left in charge, and indeed how much longer Whittaker will stay. If she decides to follow Tennant, Smith and Capaldi and do three series before moving on, can we start the petition now for Hayley Atwell or Evanna Lynch?

just realised today, that she was Chun Li in 1994's Steetfighter with JCVD and Kylie she's on my to meet list now.

Love Tosin’s auto on the steel book!

Final thought. Personally think The Timeless Child could of worked better (and been less controversial) if it was revealed to be The Master rather than The Doctor.

Also Dr Cute. He's also canon.

After what we have seen from Chibnall so far I personally think he bit off way more than he can chew. I would have been skeptical had Davies or Moff tried. But Chibnall… I hope for the show's sake I am wrong.

Id have to do a proper list at some point but the only two I can think of are Pyramids of mars from the 4th doctor as being my favorite and the least liked episode for me is tooth and claw from the 10th doctor. (Loved the rest of his run, just didn't really enjoy that episode that much when I originally watched it.)

I think this is what is known in marathon terms as "hitting the wall". But the finish line is in site.

He had a small role as a Resistance fighter pilot in The Force Awakens. I agree with all of you that the lead cast has been tremendously let down by poor writing.

Bradley Walsh had been the best thing about this era, and he'll be the only one of this crew I'd miss. Part of me would like season 13 to be Jodie with a new team, or just her and Bradley
