The New Doctor has been revealed and Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor and will be taking over for Matt Smith at the end of the Christmas Special this December. The announcement was made live on the BBC, Space and BBC America on a simulcast broadcast of Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor which had former Doctors, Peter Davison and Colin Baker, and current Who for the moment Matt Smith among others being interviewed on the show.
It will be exciting what Peter Capaldi will bring to the role as The Doctor when Series 8 comes to our screens sometime in 2014. So good luck to Peter Capaldi you have a big legacy to uphold.
I can't believe people are slamming this choice because he is old. These current series only fans think the Doctor needs to be young and good looking. Finally someone who looks the part and hopefully they don't right his character to be a total goof.
ReplyDeleteThey are not true fans then. I'm happy with the choice and am glad they went with an older guy. Hopefully they bring some serious back to the role and cut back on the manic and goofiness.
ReplyDeleteHoorah for old guys!
