The press here kinda released it was peter capaldi last week. bets were slashed. decent choice

Yeah: BBC News - Peter Capaldi revealed as Doctor Who's new lead

A good choice in my opinion. I imagine based on his earlier works (particularly the Thick of It) that his style of Doctoring would be rather sarcastic. I can't wait to see how he will do actually.

Okay, so, he was Caecilius in The Fires of Pompeii! Which means we've/we'll have two actors who were one-off characters in that show go on to be extremely important characters in the series!

He was also Sid's dad on Skins. I'm really happy with this choice. I think he'll be great.

I thought I recognized him. Can't wait to see how his Doctor acts.

I'd never heard of this guy but I lolled at his IMDB page:

Isn't it three?

Freema Agyeman was in Army of Ghosts and apparently Karen Gillan was also in the Pompeii episode(s).

When I said "in that show" I meant "in that episode."

I'M SO EXCITED.

*Also, how come I can't change the thread title?? Do I need special privileges?

You have to be staff to change a thread title.

Bawwww.

Anyway, if you like putting lasers in things, here you go:

Judging from Neverwhere and Children of Earth, I'm sure Capaldi will do superbly in the role.

It's also worth pointing out, since a number of people elsewhere have been complaining about it, that having an actor who plays a Time Lord having appeared in the series previously is not unprecedented; Lalla Ward played Princess Astra before Romana regenerated using her appearance, and Colin Baker appeared in one of Peter Davison's serials.
