I agree am I the only one who's never heard of him?

Rufus Hound for next Dr, but only if he puts his beard back on!

I gave up when William Hartnell went - but I might start again...

Tom Baker was the best one

Based on the last three doctors that I've seen, they should have had Sanjeev Bhaskar.

My Dr Who experiences started very hazily with Tom Baker, Peter Davidson who I adored, one of my first crushes lol. Colin Baker who I hated, I always thought of him as rather nasty and scary. Sylvester McCoy who I really enjoyed. Some people hated Paul McGann I didn't mind him. Really like Chris Eccleston, Loved David Tennant (fancied the pants off him too :p ) and have really enjoyed Matt Smith. I don't know much about this new guy but a bit of trivia for you, I did see him in World War Z where he played a Dr, in the World Health Organisation. And in a weird twisted Whovian way David Tennant married his own daughter pmsl.

Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker. My 3 favourites.

From that I deduce I am about the same age as Gadget, and maybe a couple younger than Glam!

I remember watching Tom Baker whilst hiding under the sofa!

Quite apart from his turn as Mr. Tucker - have you not seen Local Hero?

If not, well you should -

Who's Mr Tucker? And no, off to watch YouTube!

Don't do it! He was bad enough when he was at school in Grange Hill.

He's a great actor, and it's a mark of the importance of the show that what would have previously have been a press release had a 30 min puff show around an announcement.

I know he'll make a great doctor, I hope to writing is up to it but I'm a bit disappointing it's an actor I know so well ( Neverwhere, The Crow Road with Goldilox is currently re watching, The Devil's Whore, the Thick of It, Torchwood - Children of Earth, The Hour - not to mention so many one offs of TV drama) I can't see the next few series - and I doubt he'll be attached to the role for very long - holding many surprises. I'm disappointed I won't get to see someone new and fresh, Like Matt Smith was, or David Tennant (who I only knew from Blackpool & Casanova) in the role.

To me , and I'll happily be proven wrong, Peter Capaldi is a known quantity, which isn't always what I want from Dr. Who.

Also, the intro thing on the bbc allows for a truly creepy face...

The worlds from two awesome TV shows collide. Swearyness right from the start.
