Gatiss should be the 13th Doctor after Capaldi leaves.
zacpetch11 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There's been some talk at time of writing this review that Peter Capaldi may be stepping down from being the 12th Doctor in a couple years' time from now. If so then I nominate for the 13th Doctor Mark Gatiss.

This sketch sees Gatiss playing the Doctor (incarnation unspecified) when he lands in a generic quarry and meets someone identifying himself only as "I'M BAD!" demanding that the Doctor stop his plan, though what the plan is is anyone's guess, at his convenience. Next Wednesday works for them so they agree to meet up then.

Mark Gatiss and David Walliams co-wrote this amusing sketch that serves as a love-letter to the show. The Doctor commenting "Where've you brought me to this time old girl?" is just the sort of thing you can imagine hearing the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th Doctors saying and upon the series's eventual return the 10th and 11th use that sort of language pretty much all the time. Even in a spoof that's such a wonderful tribute to the show we all know and love.

I'm serious about what I said in this review's title: Mark Gatiss should be the Doctor for real. (Maybe he could wear a costume like what he wears in this? Let's make this canon!)
