And the new Doctor is...
 

It's just been announced live on BBC1 that Peter Capaldi is the new doctor!

For those unfamiliar with his work... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Capaldi

Personally I am over the moon. Capaldi is going to bring some real substance back to the show. I stopped watching the Matt Smith Doctor Who because he just irritated me, he was petulant and quirky in that way that's predictable and superficial. I think Capaldi is going to be outstanding, even if the plotlines of the show are not what they used to be. I'll still be watching this new doctor while he's here :D (also I just wish they'd let Capaldi swear... he's so good at it it's such a waste haha)

I am quite excited for the new Doctor also. I think he will be quite lovely as it.

I think he will be ace! Such a cool guy, I also like that he's older. Has anyone seen the Malcolm Tucker is Dr Who clip? I'd link it but the language is obviously shocking! (It's hilarious.)

I think he'll be good and wish him good luck.

i want to see do the writers pay attention to the fact that he has already been in doctor who and torchwood already. In the pompeii episode of Dr who and he plays the prime minister in torchwood: children of earth

i'd have thought they would ignore it. it's not unheard of for actors to play more than one role in a career after all...

I am quite excited. Wasn't a massive Matt Smith fan, he was a little kiddy (not that that's a bad thing, necessarily). Kind of hoping this new one is going to be slightly... I don't know if 'darker' is the right word.

I watched it live from the internet (screw you finland) and have to say I'm very excited from this. I loved him on Torchwood so looking forward on seeing him as The Doctor :)

A lot of people have been referring to him as 'the new doctor who'. That irritates me. Also I heard the last season was wank so I haven't watched it. Was it?

i don't know, i only watched 1 episode of Matt Smith, didn't like him. however i am now re-watching Christopher Eccleston which is ace :)
