Yeah, no to Capaldi please. He was great on Torchwood but The Thick of It is a really overrated show. Not that it has any influence on his acting talent, I just don't consider him Doctor material.

I don't think anyone particularly well known is going to get this role anyway. The whole point of them casting relative unknowns is that way said person is more likely to commit to more than one season.

If its anything like the Matt Smith reveal was the internet will crash with people trying to work out who he is, then proceed to moan about him having stupid hair for about 2 months

That's half the fun of being Whovian! The Doctor you love departs, you see who's coming to replace, you bitch how hes not like who left, you moan through the first three episodes, then you fall in love, then he departs... It's a vicious cycle.

I'd be grateful for Capaldi on principle, we need an old Doctor again, we need to be reminded that teenage girls aren't the only members of the fanbase. I have no problem with young, attractive Doctors in themselves (inb4 people call me butthurt) but it's the fact that his appearance was suddenly all the show talked about, that is what eventually soured me on Tennant and really put me off of Smith. Especially Clara who was basically the Doctor's girlfriend rather than his companion (and Rose before her) and I just think that is so wrong for the character, he is supposed to be alien and disconnected, that is why I liked Donna so much, the one and only companion who didn't spend every episode like a Victorian Orphan looking into the bakery shop window.

Plus it certainly helps that Capaldi is a fantastic actor, I hope if he is cast we get a nice classic Doctor again. A loveable, eccentric who is basically your Granddad but also happens to usher you to other worlds, I guess just like your Granddad probably did when you were a kid.

BBC and Moffat have codenamed this new Doctor Houdini. Let the wild speculation of it being Rupert Grint begin with me! Come on Rupert! Then Emma Watson can take over Clara and merge two fandoms into one unstoppible force of nerd!

I always thought Rupert Grint could be cool, since he's not as big as he could have been and the Doctor DESPERATELY needs to be ginger.

Like there isn't enough actors who've done Potter and Who already

SUNDAY AT 2PM EST, I repeat, SUNDAY (Today) AT 2PM EST! The Doctor Who LIVE Announcement of the new Doctor!

Don't say your buddy Sentai never told you! Cause I did and that would make you a dirty liar.
