The Twelfth Doctor Is…

[calliopes_pen]

The Twelfth Doctor is Peter Capaldi. We’ll see how he does in the role, and I wish him luck. All I’ve seen him in so far was The Fires of Pompeii, and Torchwood: Children of Earth. I can only see him as John Frobisher right now. I’ll have to track down something else he’s done.

So not black or female or ginger? I know a whole bunch of people who are going to be disappointed.

I've seen several comments to various articles along those lines already, actually. Pretty much as I expected.

An interesting choice. I am really looking forward to seeing how he does.

Best of luck penetrating the accents but "In the Thick of It" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459159/ is blessed by Roger Allam, as well.

Given everything I've been hearing about that show, I'll probably just be tracking down Capaldi's appearance in 1996's Neverwhere instead. In The Thick Of It doesn't seem like the sort of show I would care to watch.

(And I have never heard of Roger Allam until now. According to Wikipedia, the closest I've gotten to something he appeared in was Ashes To Ashes--I only watched the first episode.)

He's a W.H.O. doctor in World War Z. Almost freaky coincidence, yes?
