Who is it to be then? I have my fingers crossed for Peter Capaldi as I've always liked him, but Idris Elba would be good too. Not sure about any of the others though, and really hope it's not that annoying lad from the BT ads (Daniel Rigby). www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23537948

Having seen the Eric and Ernie programme, I can't understand how Daniel Rigby is in the running. He was only passable in that and the BT adverts were terrible, although I don't think anyone could save such weak stuff as those adverts!

Some of these people look so incredibly wrong! >_< And I'd hate to imagine what kind of weird stuff they'd had to spin up in order for Billy Piper to become the Doctor. With the level of writing they've shown the last season, it would end up a bust. I kinda liked the look if this Ejiofor and Scott, though I know neither of them, so can't really say anything about their acting skills.

So it's again a white male. I think I might like him and he reminds me a bit of David Tennant, but I'm a bit disappointed with their choice. They seem to have played it really safe. Oh well, we'll see.

Ah! Peter Capaldi! Someone I have heard of! He has done some very good stuff. I don't like his character from the thick of it, but then I don't like that programme anyway. It's like an offensive version of Yes Minister!

I agree with you there. I didn't know who he was so I looked him up on Youtube and The Thick of It put me off straight away. It will take time for me to get to like him as Dr Who, I guess.

He played Caecilius in the Series 4 episode The Fires of Pompeii (2008). He is also the guy who played John Frobisher in Torchwood: Children of Earth (2009). He also plays a W.H.O. Doctor in the film World War Z (2013).
