Who Are You?


Doctor Number Twelve will be Peter Capaldi. There he is in the official BBC photo looking very dapper. And possibly a touch mysterious? And deep?

There is much cheering around the blogs.

The Thick of It fans are happy. Extremely happy. Malcolm Tucker handed the keys to the TARDIS... Will British politics survive?

And, folk are asking, does this mean the Doctor will let fly some unsavoury language?

The man has street cred. The man has acting chops. The man has gravitas. The man has that maturity that I think has been sorely lacking in the Whoster lately (sorry). I might be able to unclench my teeth now and enjoy the show more (sorry). I might even start believing again that the Doctor has more than a millennium worth of birthdays under his belt (sorry).

And, for goodness sakes, not only has Mr Capaldi touched base with the Doctor as a guest in a previous episode, and popped in to visit the Torchwood mob, but he was in World War Z and Lair of the White Worm!!!

I'm looking forward to this shakeup.

I got sucked into watching all the hype on channel two last night and got quite excited. Can't wait to see him in the role.

I wish I'd seen the hype! I had to make do with the blogs. But yeah, I'm ready for a change, and he looks like a good one.
