New Doctor to be revealed on Sunday

[Relayer1]

Not exactly a surprise, but a damned good choice !

 

[SG-17]

Turns out he was the father Roman in the Fires of Pompeii. Aside from that I haven't seen a single thing he was in.

 

[SeerSGB]

Not much of surprise after all, then!

Just what I was thinking. Sorta of over hyped this one,

 

[Captain Shaw]

Well I can say I have never heard of him. So who is he?

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Awesome. And older Doctor finally...

 

[ToddKent]

Another white guy? BORING!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Seriously, it's Peter Capaldi? My Internet went out on me again list the stream. If so, excellent choice!

He's a very talented actor with a great range and is well respected in the business - the Tardis is in safe hands!

Turned over just in time to hear the words "Peter Capaldi" - surprised it's him, given his age and the workload, and his filming schedule for Three Musketeers, but happy enough. A Doctor who's older than me or Lesley! Nice. They might bring back the Doctor-as-wizard element I guess. But does this mean the younger companions will take over more, I wonder. Still, works for me.

Wonder if he'll keep the accent?

 

[Klaus]

I don't know his work outside "Pompeii", but he looks promising... also psyched to see a Doctor older than me too, if only by a few years lol.

 

[Kinokima]

I am sorry to say I am not familiar with him but I highly approve of the choice of an older Doctor.

Of course I was disappointed when I first heard the news about Matt Smith and I ended up loving him but I think this is a very good choice indeed.

 

[chelly]

Ah he was in an episode already as i Caecilius n "fires of pompeii". I was thinking he looked familiar. Not bad looking

 

[Set Harth]

I was holding out for John Hurt.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Wikipedia says, he was also in Torchwood - Children of Earth

 

[Relayer1]

He really is a damned fine actor, and he's a real Who fan too.

Welcome aboard Peter.

 

[Tom]

Yes he had a big role in the 3rd season of Torchwood.

 

[diankra]

Happy now! Plus already met him - first time for that!

Yup he's John Frobisher in Children of Earth, the government administrator who killed his family and himself.

 

[Brent]

Watched the live show, Glad to finally see another older doctor! I think it's time for that, we've been getting younger and younger, and it's time to change things back up to a older one.

IMO he will remind me of William Hartnell, if I'm not mistaken, perhaps that is where they are headed with this older Doctor, to homage the first Doctor.

I noticed he put his hands on his coat jacket like Hartnell use to do, when he walked out on the stage, perhaps a sign of how they plan to play this Doctor.

 

[Atticus]

Brilliant choice! He's going to be superb
