New Doctor to be revealed on Sunday

[diankra]

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

Welcome aboard Peter.

The Dwas remember him ordering episode guides back in the 70s...

Peter Capaldi. Love this choice. Great actor. Looking forward to what he'll bring to the TARDIS.

Now all he needs is a mermaid as his companion and an embroidered tea towel for his screwdriver, and everything will be perfect.

 

[Deckerd]

I wonder if he'll be allowed to keep his accent.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Great actor, anybody catch is impression of Hartnell when he first came on as hs stood flicking his thumbs while holding his lapels.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I guess this means I need to rewatch Children of Earth.

Yeup, noted that above in my post

I think that is perhaps a sign of how they plan to play this doctor, a homage to the first.

That would be awesome.

I don't know who that is.

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

I only know his Whoniverse Roles:

John Frobisher in Torchwood:Children of Earth
The Dad in The Doctor Who episodeKaren Gillan was in before she became Amy Pond The Fires of Pompeiii

Apparently World War Z had this spoiled for some time now, because in it he played The WHO Doctor?

[Admiral2]

I'm just glad he looks more mature than Matt Smith...

 

[Aldo]

He also played Sid's father in the first and second series of Skins. That's where I know him from.

Anyways, I am extremely satisfied with who they chose. Yesterday I never dreamed I'd be that happy with the new Doctor, heck I didn't really think I'd even know who he was, and when my friend said the name I still had no idea. I think we're in good hands here, I just hope he does more than one series.

 

[Tom]

So does that mean we will stop having young female companions fall in love with the Doctor? lol

 

[Professor Zoom]

It's a great choice. So happy. VERY surprised. I think it's actually a bit of a risk, which is very exciting. And he's a great actor. he was BRILLIANT in Children of Earth.

 

[Samurai8472]

There's not a chance that the next Doctor won't be young and attractive. That's what the character is now and the BBC won't want to risk chasing off the new viewers that change has brought them.

BBC- Let's risk it.


Say goodbye to the tween fans

 

[DalekJim]

SO FUCKING HAPPY.

Been listing him as my ideal Doctor for years and years. This is absolutely dream casting. Nothing could have made me happier.

 

[Angel4576]

Absolutely thrilled with this choice.

Highly approve of an older Doctor, and Capaldi is a fantastic choice.

This is going to be awesome!

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Intresting bit of triva, Hartnell was 55 when became the Dr, as is Capaldi.

 

[sttngfan1701d]

Clara's reaction will be great. "Doctor, you're....old!"

I'm really interested by this casting. I can't wait to see how he plays it. I wonder if the show will have to change since a 55 year old man can't "Run run run!"

Naw... they will just cast some young buff eye-candy as a male companion alongside another attractive female one for the dads.
