Next Doctor

The Master

I hope it is Capaldi, a more mature Doctor would be nice. Plus he's been in doctor who before and we all know the beeb love to re use actors in who.

I would absolutely adore Chris O'Dowd as the doctor, I think he'd be brilliant. Sadly I can't see it happening

If it is Peter Capaldi I'll be going back to Fires of Pompeii next time they're casting someone new

I have no TV yet so I shall be relying on twitter and here for the news!

This guy talking about whales needs to get off the TV before I go insane!

Wow, so there is an audience; they're certainly making a big deal and intent on dragging things out, aren't they.

Manach

It is getting a little cringe-worthy/Luvies-fest.

With the exception of Peter, I have no idea who these people are.

pixelburp

Aye, sod this love in; I think ill do something more productive, pick up the news after its announced...

T-Bird

Oh crap, I guess I need to buy a hat then...

Did not see that coming, at all. Great choice, really inventive. Well done Moffat

Peter Capaldi is officially The Doctor.

Great choice imo

Not sure I like him.

Older doctor. I liked the younger versions plus he seems a little "feeble".

Frobisher! That's where I know him
Funny how they always go back to people who were in previous unrelated episodes

bradyle

I dont think so...hes too well known I dont like it...like hes a good actor and honestly he fills all the things I wanted...older more cynical...but I don't know if I like knowqing the doctor before he is the doctor

If he can command respect a la Hartnell, or kick ass like Pertwee who cares what age he is?

Well done, Moffat - good call

Brilliant choice. Fantastic choice. I think my love of Doctor Who has just come storming back. Amazing.

To be fair, Matt and maybe David were the only younger ones.

All the others have ranged from late 30s to near 70s.

The Doctor isn't about age or looks after all.

I'm so stoked for the regeneration now! So glad they went for the mature doctor option. Great choice

Mr.Saturn

Can finally start putting these to good use, I suppose.

I'm hoping for some darker storylines now, and a reduction in the doe eyed companions.
