JacknDaniel Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The rule of a new actor being cast is generally if it's the bookies favourite, then it won't be that person. When have you ever know speculation by the majority(including bookies) to be right. It's not like it's based on them seeing Capaldi going for an audition or anything, it's only based on people looking at him and thinking 'he'd make a good Doctor'. People have said that about countless actors for 50 years and the announcement is almost always a complete suprise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I do think Peter Capaldi would make an interesting choice as the Doctor, but I think a lot of the speculation came from info on his Wikipedia page which was misinterpreted. All will be revealed on Sunday. Looking forward to it. One of the great thing imo with Doctor Who is that we do get such a great range of different actors playing the role , all of which bring something different to it, that in itself keeps the show fresh and whilst it is sad always to see a Doctor go I think there is a lot of sense in getting a new Doctor every 3 seasons, although I think a bigger question to be resolved in the not too distant future will be what happens when the Doctor uses up all the regenerations !

Not_Pennys_Ship Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) I'd like to see this guy as the next Doctor Who: Edited August 2, 2013 by Not_Pennys_Ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Munroe Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The rumour about the former Malcolm Tucker is that on his Wikipedia entry it had WHO Doctor. What people failed to see was that it was for his appearance in World War Z. If Capaldi was the new Doctor, it would be so much better in the Malcolm Tucker mode.

quidditysea Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 i want an unknown to be announced, much better that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I know what you mean about ignoring the bookies. Anyway, Capaldi's already been in it - wasn't he L. Caecilius Iucundus in Fires of Pompeii? And how great is it that Who now draws so many great cast that the first dozen or so names mentioned have all already been in it! I agree about an unknown as well - Matt Smith was just the same when he was cast and he's really made the role his own. If they go for a name, my money's on Ben Wishaw.

Count Fooku Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Given Showmasters have been pretty good at getting the actor playing Who to attend events this is very good news, I'm not a Dr Who fan but if Capaldi were to attend an event I would very happy!

TerraHawk Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Amusing he's the one member of the Torchwood Children Of Earth cast not to a signing. Still got another excuse now I met him at theatre, seemed a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charmer Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Congratulations to him for getting the part of the 12th Doctor. Can I be the first to say, I hope SM can getting to a signing event very soon. If anyone is able to tempt the new Doctor to a con then it'll be you guys! We should pace a bet on how long it'll take before he attends one, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahariel Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hmmmmm.... should be interesting. Always liked him as an actor and am interested in how his Dr will be. So this would be a great coup for SM to pull off if they can get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
